I don't have the disk for re-installing it.
If that old best boots up and runs 98 or xp just fine... you have a nice retro machine to play old games that totally don't work on newer computers. *cough*comandandconquor 1*cough*
Jesus. The first compooter I owned had about the same specs.If that old best boots up and runs 98 or xp just fine... you have a nice retro machine to play old games that totally don't work on newer computers. *cough*comandandconquor 1*cough*
My main PC does run XP...
Just waiting to have the cash for the motherboard I want so I can get it up and running again. For now I have to deal with this laptop running Vista...
Anyway...
I finished tear-down and I can say that I didn't find much to be proud of in the guts of the fossil, but here's a short list.
- 64MB stick of PC133 RAM
- 750MHz AMD Duron processor
- 20GB IDE Seagate hard drive
- 8GB Nvidia TNT2 graphics card
- 10/100 ethernet card
- 56KB/s modem
- IDE CD-ROM drive
- IDE CD-RW drive
- Floppy drive
- 2 IDE cables
- Floppy cable
It's amazing that a PC could even boot-up with only 64MB of RAM at one point. It's also been a while since 20GB of storage was anywhere near sufficient.
The case had clearly never been opened. It's specs were entirely stock to the case. What is funny is that it had a sticker on the side of the case that said XP was the OEM operating system, but in the disc storage compartment it has another one that says it came with Windows ME and it has the "Designed for Windows ME" sticker on the front... I'm pretty sure ME isn't compatible with the XP upgrade, as I once made the attempt to do so. This ended in just getting a computer with XP, because of the amount of failure. Plus, I'm pretty sure XP won't boot with only 64MB of RAM... Seems pretty fishy.
Double post.weird.... ive have ra2 hog up to 150 mb before unless task manager be boosheet-ing me
Just read the system requirements on my RA2 box.... Apparently RA2 requires 64MB of RAM... Irony. :laughing

If you're running Vista or 7, it will require more because of the OS. Vista and 7 are pretty heavy compared to XP.
As in a dual boot? Or a virtual machine?virtual
Sadly, neither do I. I actually looked this up a while ago, and you need to do some pretty complex stuff (well, complex for me) to stop XP killing W7.

Found this dinosaur at a thrift shop for five bucks... I figured it would possibly be worth it for the parts. I'm about to begin tear-down on it. I will post my findings in a while.
Now, let's just hope the hard drive isn't full of CP.
EasyBCD gives me an error when I try to add Windows XP, saying that it couldn't find it on any of the mounted drives. Help!download power iso
Sounds like that's a CD image burner, and EasyBCD sets up the boot stuff.power iso mounts drive too if i recall
i got a free fijitsu seimens cordant.
pics;
warning;imgdumpif you want i can get more images and stuff. including specs.
it's running vista black edition (it barely manages that, so i'll just have to reins xp.)
uh lemme check
well
512mb ram (but slow as crap) ddr2
can't check processor specs (monitor is used for something else/lazyyy)
but i know it's an early intel one
i'll check online
it MAY be called 'pentium 4'
[http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0001A26X8/]
it says it's 3.00ghZ but i don't sure if believe.
maybe it's smaller, or rare, who knowsuh lemme check

Bitch, I remember when Pentium 4 was brand new. They had Blue Man Group in their commercials.
I've seen 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz Pentium 4s, but never a 3GHz. Hm... Either way, it could be that small, but I'm currently piecing together a temporary set up and using a 1.8GHz Pentium 4 processor.
Keep that 512MB stick of DDR2. That's definitely a keeper.

and btw it's 2 256 not 1 512 silly
Even x64 versions?
Aha, now this is a hardware problem!lazer burn
My DVD/CD drive has been doing thisto my discs, recently. It does it whenever it tried to read or write to the disc, seemingly, although I'm not sure. It leaves the discs unusable. Is there anything I can do that doesn't involve buying anything or sending my PC away?
