    Back in January I attempted to install a GPU in the 98 PC, and found out that the card got damaged during shipping. Well recently, a viewer generously donated another GPU! So let's try to install it, shall we?

      I remember Microsoft had some sort of program where you could get a 64-bit upgrade of Windows XP, but I think it wasn't quite ready for production. I almost did it but when I researched it I realized there were no graphics drivers available for it for my card.

      I don't think the xp 64 bit had proper directX drivers at all. A friend tried to set it up years ago and got nothing but a headache and homebrew drivers that never worked. He was in love with xp and refused to use newer windows versions, even though he spent most of his time trying to use those stupid, unofficial 13-gig "driver packs"

    I would definitely recommend going with an SSD rather than a CF or SD card in this case. NTFS (or any journaling file system) will eat through SD and CF cards rather quickly. Also there's the page file that would need to be taken into account. Awesome video and I'd definitely be interested in both a video on Kolibri and XP x64 and XP IA-64. :)

  • @BobPony

    You should get an IDE to SD adapter since SD cards are quite more common and are quite inexpensive than compact flash cards. Not only that, most modern SD cards have decent speeds that it would max out the old ancient IDE ATA interface and as said cheaper to get than buying an SSD and trying to use an IDE to SATA adapter.

    Quick recap recreation:

    I used to have a working FX 5200, and Longhorn builds will usually natively have the GPU drivers installed, aero on 4074 works but can be sluggish, some newer builds have better performance. The FX 5200 is one of the better cards for easy aero on Longhorn.

    The fun thing about SSDs is that they use the SATA interface, like anything from the past 15 years.

I remember it had a single core Intel Celeron M, 512MB DDR2 RAM, and S3 Graphics! It came with Windows XP installed.. I later upgraded it to Vista to find it didn't look as nice as other computers with Vista or 7 installed with the transparency and all.. the 64MB of VRam just couldn't do it. Tried registry edits and everything to no avail. Crazy stuff.. but I did learn that Ubuntu will allow transparency on ANYTHING... but this "Extended Life Linux" OS I got ahold of that claimed to be able to make any old computer carry out day to day functions really made the most of that system.. still wasn't enough for the larger Halo:CE maps.

    Hey, Michael! New subscriber here. I thoroughly enjoy your videos; they have become almost a sort of ASMR thing for me - the perfect ambient noise for my day-to-day living (I promise I mean that in the absolute best way possible, but FYI, the background jazz music isn’t helping your cause).
    Among others, I saw your brief nod to Windows XP 64-bit in this particular video, and it made me wonder if you’d covered that operating system before, only to realize you HAVEN’T! I’d LOVE a full-fledged video of the XP 64-bit development (and all the included heartache) on your behalf - there was a time fairly recently in which that was my daily driver OS.
    I know there’s a lot of bad blood surrounding XP 64-bit, but I’d really enjoy your showcase of that misapplied anomaly of a Windows release. Just some food for thought.

    @dw_2005 3 роки тому +1

    Thank God you finally upgraded the gpu!!! If you ever wondered why the integrated gpu caused so many problems such as low res, low colour depth images or things not displaying properly, that's because the VESA compatibility in the integrated gpu is crap!!! To put it simply, VESA compatibility allows an OS to run at resolutions higher than VGA res without graphics drivers installed. By the year 2000 most GPUs where compatible with VESA 3.0. With VESA 3 this is how you are able to see the typical Windows 7 boot screen, the "Windows is loading files.." text in higher 1024x768 res instead of 80x25 text mode and also when you boot into Windows XP or newer with no Graphics Drivers, you can run in 800x600 and higher in 16 or 32bit colour depth. Intel's graphics however where stuck on VESA 2.0 until the GMA 950 which only allows 640x480 in 4bit (16 colours) colour depth without dedicated graphics drivers. If it was up to me I would have changed the GPU on day 1 of having that PC for better compatability!! By the way your channel is awesome!!!!

    The first computer I built from scratch included a Geforce FX 5200 card. I thought it was a pretty good card at the time. Something about being the cheapest card at the time that would run DX9 IIRC.

  • @BilisNegra
    @BilisNegra 3 роки тому

    Yes, definitely an SSD in the 98 PC is something we want to see, even if obviously won't run at its full speed by any means. The flash card solution is only OK for older OS like Win 9x, newer ones make a lot more read/write operations, severely reducing the lifespan of the card. Very satisfying to see Aero running on a PC which doesn't even have a proper (typically AGP at its time, later PCIe) graphics expansion slot on it, I wasn't really sure whether any PCI cards existed that were good enough for that.

Also have a new in box usb 2.0 Controller, and Ethernet adapter for it. Now to upgrade the Dell Creative SoundCard with a decent upgrade (Like a SoundBlaster Live! or maybe a 16) and we're golden!
