I know Windows XP is not really a neccesary build since anything that can be played on XP can most likely be played on any current computer, but I don’t really have a current PC gaming setup or play any new games. I have some nostalgia playing games on Windows XP, games like Max Payne and GTA Vice City.
So for the hell of it, I figured I’d build a XP setup. I have 2 cpus laying around and not sure which would be better.
P4 521 HT Technology 2.8GHz. 1MB cache, 800MHz FSB
or
Pentium D 930 3.0GHz, 4MB cache, 800MHz FSB
I’m leaning towards actually using the P4 since it has hyper threading and it seems like generally people don’t like the pentium D very much, but I’m not sure if the hate for the pentium D is just compared to Intel’s Core 2 duo or not.
which would you guys pick?
AMD K6-2+/550MHz
Soltek SL-54U5 Super Socket 7
64MB SDRAM
3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 16MB
Sound Blaster AWE64
Roland SC-55mkII
Pentium MMX 233MHz
Tyan TitanVX S1470 Socket 7
128MB SDRAM
ATi Rage 128 pro 32MB
Audio Plus 320 v.1
Roland SC-88
