Will keep an eye open. Thanks for the heads up!

Good option, but is guess there are maybe smaller more efficient options for a NAS?

Hi, possibly, or maybe it's full?

@@Tech-Nerdrome o.k thank you , ill see if its full.

Thank you!

Agreed, however, if you've not got a windows license and want a working computer, it's definitely the next best option! Cheers!

True.

Nice!

Sorry, I've not got Nord VPN to try it with. Thanks for the suggestion though!

It's all high budget CGI here!

@@Tech-Nerdrome movie level!!

@Luddyh ;)

2060 supers?!?!? They have got to be bottlenecked by the CPU's?

@@Tech-Nerdrome You would think so, but these AMD FX chips do a pretty good job, at least on older games like CODWAW and MW. They pump out a solid 500FPS, but I cap them at 333 fps so I can do all the glitch jumps. It's only RTX Quake 2 that won't go past 60fps which screws up a few 100FPS jumps. I have much newer computers with 3090's that don't do as good, but that may be a Windows 11 pro issue. I will add that none of the cores are parked. The 8 cores run full 8 cores, same with the 6 core ones. Another note is, I believe the spec say max supported memory is 16 GBs but 32GBs runs fine and the small form factor boards can run 16GBs instead of the list max of 8GBs. The only time I had trouble was years ago when I ran 2 AMD 6870's in crossfire mode. There was in-game lag, but one at a time worked great.

Hi, no, you can't make calls. It is theoretically possible, if three activated it, but they have not. If you were to make calls with the sim, you would be charged, as the sim is only provisioned for unlimited data, not calls. Cheers!

@ thanks I just got mine and was wondering. I have to say that so far I’m really pleased. I found that using a Ethernet cable it doubled the speed. Wi-Fi was about 244 and with the Ethernet cable about 488.

Guess that's another way to do it! Nice!

Not noticed that myself. Have you split the networks into separate 2.4 and 5 GHz with their own SSID? If so, maybe that's the reason? I've had other routers in the past, which I split for various reasons, and yes, the two were treated by the router is separate networks. Mine is still combined, and I have a wifi printer (which is definitely on 2.4ghz coz that's all it has! ) My PCs on WiFi n/ac, so on both 2.4 and 5 as suits have no problem printing to it. Was going to do a follow up video soon, so will investigate further! Cheers!

The FM (1, 2 and 2+) were probably the first Apus that had useable graphics. Although not really widely adopted, or used, I think we owe them more than they're given credit for. Stay safe with your nerding!

Hi, not had a look at it on a Linux system - good idea though, will maybe take a look soon. Cheers!

I think the masts only have a finite capacity, so depending on the population of your area, other providers will probably be needed at some point.

Good luck!

Have fun! Pentium D - literally two Pentium 4s stuck together! Brilliant! But probably the first dual cores, so we owe them a lot. Good luck with your build!

Pentium 4 6x1 and Pentium D 9xx can, AFAIK, boot the first release of Windows 11. More recent releases raise the limit to Nehalem and AMD's Phenom II series. Not sure when the change happened, though.

​@@panthera8286 Good information. Although I haven't used Windows since ME.

Hi, I don't think so. This has been unsupported for a while now I think.... Cheers!

Thank you! Thanks for being part of the group!

We're still getting a good signal, although I have heard that 3 may of "oversold" their services in some locations, leading to the slow down. Hopefully, if that is the case, they'll get on top of it and increase the capacity of those masts. Cheers!

Same here. I got mine over 2 years ago. Was getting between 200-400Mbps for first 18 months, then it slumped to under 150Mbps which they claim is the network average for downloads, then the last 3 to 4 months it has tumbled to under 50Mbps and during the day we have had it as low as 2Mbps! They are useless to deal with. Always put you through to India who just make things up. I've had months of near unusable internet. Just had Vodafone 500Mbps fibre installed which works 😃 My advice to anyone thinking of buying is avoid if you have a smart home or download heavy/gaming files. For very light users it might be ok.

The cellular cell capacities have a finite limit, particularly on the number of users it supports and the amount of data they are using. I used to work on the cell systems a few years ago. The closer you are to the mast it will support your connection speed, albeit throttle it under high demand from others subscribers. There is an effect known as ‘cell shrinkage’ where the most distant users will be dropped by the cell first although your equipment will claim enough signal. This is because it can’t support all subscribers at once if demand outstrips supply. You will still be connected but the data will dry up or slow. It will try to ‘hand off’ your connection to another cell, but this is not always possible due to distance and data loads.

Hi, unfortunately, probably not. If you are in a poor reception area, then that is going to limit you. You maybe better off getting a standard fibre connection if available? From one of there many providers - plusnet, sky, talk talk etc etc. In the meantime, have you tried moving it around to different window sills pointing in different directions? Cheers!

Hi, it was 2x8gb (16gb total) Samsung M471A1K43CB1 PC4-2400T SO DIMM, HP part number 854916. The SSD was just a standard 2.5 inch SATA drive. Cheers!

No problem!

Hi, it comes with a different SIM card as it has it's own tariff. If you can't get decent 5G speeds with your current 3 5G SIM, I'd guess this would be the same as it's using the same network, unless you're phone has a poor aerial / faulty. Cheers!

@@Tech-Nerdrome Thanks for the clarification. My phone just works fine if it's on a window. Otherwise inside the house it just bad. Maybe I'll consider of getting the broadband.

@@pranjalvaity.406 if the phone works ok on a window sill, should be ok, as you can just permanently put the router there. I think there is a 30 day cancellation period if o it doesn't work anyway. Cheers!

I hope there is an element of sarcasm there, but thank you! 😂

😂 Glad it helped! Cheers !

Thank you! Yes, solves 98% of problems! Maybe! 😂

Thanks for the comment. I guess you're end of contract if it's been 2 years. How are Three when it comes to contract renewal? Do they give a good deal, or force the cost up by not offering deals the second time? Cheers!

@Tech-Nerdrome my out of contract price is the same as during contract, so I m not even gona bother renewing it. They ve over sold 5g here and can't get new contract even if you wanted to. Good thing is speeds are still good. Maybe they will upgrade the mast so they can take new customers in

I get 800mbit down, 80 up using it. There is one major issue with it though, which is it uses a small MTU size. That causes problems with games and some other software.

@BlatentlyFakeName maybe that was the reason for my issues with ubisoft and remote desktop software? - see my 3 month follow up vid. Cheers!

@@Tech-Nerdrome You can get around it by changing the APN on the router to use their mobile phone network, which for some reason use a normal sized MTU. But then port forwarding doesn't work.

Hi, yes, there are two gigabit RJ45 sockets on the back for wired network, that would work fine for consoles and PC. Also, on PC, all game services have been running / downloading fine (steam, ubisoft, epic etc ), so nothing seems to be blocked like it sometimes was with mobile-based broadband of the past. Cheers!

On the plus side, you got a free case then! :) always good!

@@Tech-Nerdrome absolutely, it was an all steel case too. Heaviest computer case I have seen since the 80s!

In HP's defence, I don't think this is to do with them directly, more of a Windows / forgetting to take it off an asset list thing! Cheers!

Nah, I've tried resetting, and even deactivating the TPM - no luck. Sorry about the sound - yeah, had to record in a different location to normal, which was probably the issue!

Wow! I thought they capped it at about 300. Nice. Yes, been just over a month now, and very happy.

I've seen just over 900mbit on a good day. I'm about 300 meters from the tower. Usually it's 5-700. There are down sides though. The MTU size on their network is quite small and causes issues with certain things. Some online games and VPNs won't like it. For the £20 it cost me (gone up to about £21.50 now!) it's a bargain. If you want these speeds on fibre it would be double that.

@@BlatentlyFakeName wow, I thought there would be some sort of capping.... I guess not!

Iv just orderd 1 iv got a 5g mast 100 feet away lol

@@LstResortXBL that should give you some good results! Let us know what you get here! :)

Sounds good. Yes this is a bodge. Having two different sized, different res monitors is less than ideal!

Hola. Lo siento, me ha costado encontrar información sobre esa PC, en particular sobre su placa base. Incluso si usa piezas ATX estándar, esa PC solo tenía una fuente de alimentación de 350 W, que tal vez estaba más orientada a 3,3 V y 5 V, como era normal en ese momento. La fuente de alimentación puede tener dificultades para proporcionar suficientes amperios de 12 V a las CPU modernas, ¡sin siquiera pensar en una GPU!, por lo que si la carcasa es ATX estándar, prácticamente todas las demás piezas deberían ser reemplazadas... ¡Salud! Hi there, Sorry, I have struggled to find any information on that PC, in particular it's motherboard. Even if it uses standard ATX parts, that PC only had a 350W PSU, which maybe geared more towards 3.3V and 5V as was normal at the time. The PSU may struggle to provide enough 12V amps to modern CPUs, not even thinking about a GPU!, so if the case is standard ATX, pretty much all other parts would need to be replaced...... Cheers!

@@Tech-Nerdrome Agradezco tus comentarios espero poder mostrarte en un vídeo este equipo, para mostrar mi reliquia pues fue un pc muy útil pero limitado . Me sorprendió cuando lo encontré en la basura y lo pude hechar andar con su recuperación del sistema de verdad me sorprendió. Saludos y excelente día.

¡Lindo! ¡Sí, sube un vídeo y envía el enlace! Salud Nice! Yes, upload a video and send the link! Cheers

Definitely a potentially good use for it. Not sure I can justify a "big-box" PC to do that though unfortunately, as space is a bit of a premium.....! When I build PCs I generally either have to get rid of them quickly (Sell / give away), or break back down into parts for more efficient storage :(

@@Tech-Nerdrome Solely a suggestion here: Just in case you do give it away _(and BTW 4GB RAM will do, even though 8GB is significantly better, especially for the 50p price of sticks),_ you could perhaps give it away to a person with such an OS already installed on it _(like those listed above or one form perhaps the FSF Free-Software-foundation page like Trisquel OS based upon Ubuntu or an i3 OS on the FSF site like Hyperbola)_ as ask that recipient person to do the few-quid-given thing. There are a bunch of web-browsers _(of varying licences, proprietary or Free-Open-source-Software)_ that could be installed on it before handing it to them like Chrome, Edge, LibreWolf, Gnome-Web, Ladybird, Vivaldi, Opera, iceweasel _(or firefox ESR with Thunderbird for RDF-Site-Summary feeds and say Claws-Mail),_ plus some other free softwares like say BSD license, Apache License and GPLv2 (and GNU concepts) or MIT such as OBS-Open-BroadcastStudio, Tomcat server, and Squid (Foundation) Server, PuTTY-FTP, 7Zip, GRSync, GNU Radio _(perhaps mentioning LoRaWAN),_ Ghost4LinuxG4L _(and Avogadro, Gnumeric, Abiword)._ Pre-installing Slackware _(with slackbuilds, and slackpkg configured and nix and NDISWRapperWifi for 32bit XP wifi drivers on some older 802.11 'g' or 'n' PCI-card or USB-dongle)_ for them could be an option, although whatever the Linux operating system _(other than maybe if using UFS for BSD)_ setting up CUPS and SANE with tesseract-OCR and GuvcviewCheeseCamera software and DVD+RW-tools and Brasero and blueman for bluetooth 2.1 for A2DP and EDR dongles, handing them a system image _(done twice in G4LGhost4Linux in multiple 2GB chunks as tar gzip files, two per DVD)_ on DVD-R disks in case they need recovery of the drive, and let the file-system be say XFS for snapshots, with SWAP space somewhere, even if an extra HDD has say ReiserFS. Having XFCE and KDE desktops (with Gnome) as options on startup can give the end-user some choice and a window-manager too. Then on that, all their ALSA sound settings are done and jack-audio and extra network (wifi perhaps) set-up like in the 'etc' directory, so in the rc.d the rc modules would have had your manual edits for the network devices. You could have WiresharkSoftware too. Vimwiki could be on there too with translations plugin addons for multiple languages. The idea would be that they get to have the nice caring thing to do to help the OS coders of their choice _(be it a BSD OS or Linux or OpenIndiana, whatever)_ and yet the PC is done for them when it is handed to them. If they have a M-F-A security hardware key for USB _(and those usually have RFID near field contactless),_ that too could be done for them and they can choose if the ever want to use OpenSSH and PuTTY or learn about a TTY session or BASH using fstab for USB mass-storage-devices via online documentation. My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.
