Just found your channel! My first decent card was a BFG 8800GT! They were a great little company!

Nice video. I'm building my own Ryzen 7 5800X system for a tri boot Windows 7 and Windows 10 and Linux Mint setup. I'm using an old Asrock X370 Taichi motherboard updated to the latest bios and a Coolermaster Stacker 830 Neo case (Its really nice), the neo means its black painted aluminium. GPU is a RX580. I couldn't get the USB 3.0 drivers installed onto my ISO so I bought a PS/2 keyboard for it. You know your the first youtube content creator I came across who actually praises Windows 7 for what it is instead of bashes on it for being obsolete, that earned you a thumbs up. Sad times that we live in currently.

have a intel 865g with a P4 3.2 with HT socket 478 Prescott ..4 gig ddr 800 a X1650 pro with 512 agp and 600 watt evga PS... system runs very well... i love the xp retro games

I have a AT&T Globalyst 130 Laptop

I love Windows 7, one of my favorite OSes along with XP. But it is hard to justify a specific Vista/7/8(.1) system. Win10 is essentially fully compatible - I don’t know of any titles of the era that no longer work due to its own code. I am excepting dead game managers like GFWL, since those games with a hacked xlive.dll work offline. I keep a Sandy Bridge system for XP uses, and have a GTX 960 so I can use Linux with Vulkan for Proton. Sandy/Ivy Bridge is truly the sweet spot between retro and modern use.

the 6800 was a VERY fast card for the AGP setups, hell its little bro the PCIE 6600GT was an absolute beast and the 6800 is much faster

I run SCSI too on a Pentium Socket 7 100 /133/150/166 classic system. Due not great onboard IDE controller. It only could handle 8GB drives at the maxium. But did go for a 18GB drive with 50 pin..narrow. It would do theoratically 20MB sec now, which the old did 16.6MB. No troubles with bigger hdds.

Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapters were basically "Industry standard" for a basic HBA. It is a decent controller. Appreciate the video. I used to run SCSI on all my systems back in the day. Great nostalgia! I noticed that pipeline cache module.

Try Ultra66

Get Long And At Least 80 Wire IDE Cable Or Use Extention And LGR Acer Aspire Also Has CMD 640

My guess is that the controller or cable was bad

I was thinking it was the interrupt for that sound card or the DMA, but you said you tried that. It could have some bad chips on it.

I was waiting for the return of this system!

Back in those days i ran the AMD Phenom II x2 Never like intel due to their high price tags.I am pretty sure the intel stuff was good but never really had the cash.I think all the intel stuff is just like apple products. Way to expensive and some times just end up being paper weights.

noctuas... i think spin less RPM, i'm not sure i'd want it at a CPU fan.thtas why thye are quite. maybewith a copper heat sink? for all i know it works fine. im curious if a blower fan could be squeezed in

Great vid, might get a similar cpu for myself

So it could had run on the PS2 too. There is a video showing that the PS2 was in some areas superior to a GTS 2 (and PS2 wasnt even fully optimized). They call me crazy but if HL2 can run on a 2000 PC and a 2001 console, there is no reason it wouldnt on a hardware from the SAME generation. Now Dreamcast, that would definitely be impossible.

Great vid man

oh damn, ACDsee. I haven't seen those icons for over 15 years.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING! We need more cases with optical drives

Pretty cool

Would be also interesting to see both configurations tested with low-end Linux/Unix. To at least have internet, music streaming, Discord/messaging?

I own a Logitech F310 that has a switch at the back to toggle between X-input and D-input. The latter works under Windows 98 and I read somewhere on a forum that in that mode, it's basically a Logitech Dual Action. I've used it to play DOS games as well as Windows 98 games such as the Windows 98 version of "Earthworm Jim" using PCem under a Windows 10 Host. I also have a USB gamepad from the "Enter" company, the model being GPV10, I believe. It actually came with a mini CD driver disk with Windows 98 drivers, and that gamepad too, works with Windows 98. It doesn't feel as premium as the Logitech gamepad: the buttons action feels a bit "unrefined," and hard, but it's nice having a spare gamepad that also actually came bundled with a driver CD that contained Windows 98 drivers. (For Windows 10/11 they are basically plug-n-play, not requiring any special drivers)

We forget how amazing XP was. After the disaster that was Windows ME, upgrading to XP from Windows 98 was amazing. And I need to tell you that I still have a computer that today was upgraded from Windows 98, all the way to Windows 11, moving across multiple motherboards. I kept expecting it to fail - and it almost did - but upgrading to a newer windows versions always fixed all the problems. :)

I'm surprised a big company didn't realize this idea. There is a surprisingly huge market for old pc gaming. I'd be happy to pay for a supported and optimized version of this.

I love how far we’ve come with pc case designs… but i wish they would include ODD support, a modern design with a dvd/blu ray drive would be amazing. as well as games that still come on disc. Can we please bring back physical media?! It really adds to the experience. Im tired of using launchers to play games

13:20 into this video, "Do you need cheese with that whine?" ha ha

Nice video. This makes it seem that Prescott was for Intel what the FX series would windup being for AMD.

If I could go back knowing what I know now, I'd probably implore my family to install 2000 on the family Aptiva instead of XP. It's way too slow with less than 256MB

100% my spidey sense says i have encountered this.

If it's the easiest upgrade then how the heck does it makes sense to create a video on it of 23.31 mins.

Why everyone is telling that Netburst is hot and low performance? Are they learning history from Intel marketing booklets praising never Core2Duo architecture? As a computer geek who was all about and in computers back on 2001-2010 I remeber Pentium4 as one of best performing CPUs until Core2Duo was adopted. Only Pentium 4 Extreme Edition could beat them realiably. My conclusions from personal experience: 1. Even first generation Pentium4 at 1.6GHz was complete monster compared to Pentium3 Coppermines running at 800MHz or AMD Duron socket A chips. Tualatins were not popular except for low-end servers or workstations. 2. Cooling was never an issue unless overclocking was attempted. Then it became an issue really fast and water cooling was in its infancy with everything from water block to radiators and piping to be custom made. Only few early steppings of Prescott on s478 was having excessive heat issues. And I own a Pentium4 Prescott s478 computer with early stepping. It have stock cooler and with good and properly applied thermal paste it have no overheating issues at all. 3. RAM timing mattered a lot. CL3 was for poor guys or office noobs. Everyone wanted OCZ Platinum with CL2 and large overclocking headroom. Even tightening the timings on some sticks that have better made chips but were badged as CL3 made a huge difference.

Sometimes these older AT PSUs need a load to work properly. Something like 500mA to 1A on the 5V rail should do the trick.

I have a 780G chipset board that fully supports AM3 and AM3+ processors. Also I am pretty sure there is a large number of AM3 boards that have bios updates that make AM3+ chips compatible.

If you are able to source 30pin simm sockets, those would fit perfectly in sipp sockets. It is a neat and reversible mod. AT power supplies need a proper load to work correctly and will fail if sufficient load is not provided on 5 and 12 volt rails. It is probably fine, just use more load to test it.

Northwood 3066Mhz HT, the memories.. Watercooled, @ 667 fsb OC

to fix you HDD try Spinrite II.. It will low-level the surface of the drive when there is still data on it.. (nothing will happen to that data, but it will fix you HDD reading problem.

If you can connect the drive to a system able to run Linux, ddrescue might work to recover the data.

0:50 I looked at it

I actually installed and ran Windows XP SP3 on a 350mhz Pentium 2 With 256mb ram and a 16mb Matrox, and it was surprisingly usable.

Prescott was planned to hit 5Ghz so they gave it that long of a pipeline.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Netburst (but were afraid to ask..)

if its just worn out sectors and not head/platter issues, you could try Spinrite.

Maybe that isn't really a type 2 hard drive. It seems like everything was custom on every drive I ever saw back in the day, and you had to enter those in manually.

considering the case design that was really ahead of its time, i was hoping for a harris 20 or even 25mhz cpu :-D oh, and you're looking for 30-pin "SIPP"s... basically the simms with legs soldered onto them.

10:14 spec on the chip from cpuworld, there's also a N80L286-16 at 16 MHz Type CPU / Microprocessor Family AMD 80286 CPU part number N80L286-12 is an OEM/tray microprocessor Frequency 12.5 MHz Package 68-pin plastic LCC Socket PLCC68 Architecture / Microarchitecture Instruction set x86 Manufacturing process NMOS Data width 16 bit Physical memory 16 MB Virtual memory 1 GB Electrical / Thermal parameters V core 5V ± 5% Minimum/Maximum operating temperature 0°C - 85°C Maximum power dissipation 2.89 Watt

The reason hard disks were called Winchester drivers was because the original spec for the 1973 IBM Winchester drive had 2 spindles of 30 megabytes each and so people started calling it a "30-30" and then IBM San Jose manager Kenneth E. Haughton said "if it's a 30-30 then it must be a Winchester"(referring to the rifle company) and so the name stuck. that's according to the Channel "Asianometry"

The P4 was a disaster for Intel, much like Windows Vista was for Microsoft, and the combo of these 2 was a crap fest SQUARED which I avoided like the plaque 😂 My dual P3 Tualatin workstation with XP + SCSI and later SSD smoked any P4 in existence despite running at lower clock and being a older generation. The irony for Intel is that the Pentium MMX/Pro/P2/P3 designs were superior to P4 so they took all the good parts from those, to create the Core2 lineup which literally saved them from going bust. AMD was kicking Intel's butt with the Phenom chips, especially the X6 which in AMD's case was better than their also partially failed FX series. So many years later however, ARM is laughing all the way to the bank, because the industry is slowly phasing out the x86 architechture which has lasted for almost half a century. That is A LOT OF TIME for any tech to stay relevant.

These synthetic benchmarks are CRAP because they are not using real world senarios where a power user would have maxed out the potential of the P4 by using a socket 775 motherboard with the fastest PCI-express GPU possible and maxed out 8GB of RAM with Windows XP-64bit or even Win7 with an SSD for basic boot and NVME (yes, it is supported in W7) to run everything except the boot loader. You'd be amazed at how fast such a "modern vintage" rig could run (I know because I have one like that). Also, even back then, no one used VGA 640X480 for gaming. That's 1990's resolution for 486/pentium/PII machines for freaking DOS games. Get real and use at least 1024X768 if not full HD 1080p

felt like the cpu had a cpu compared to northwood lol
