Also, REAPER the DAW works amazingly with XP with those old VSTs

Hey @BoomerTec which Motherboard is this? I got a Dual Socket 604 Motherboard (2 of them actually) and they're a pain to figure out. Proprietary PSU's, Proprietary Heaksinks, what a mess. I got a HP XW6200 Workstaion Board, and the Dell Poweredge 1800 board, even got the PSU's and heatsinks and they're still not wanting to power on LOL. I'm going to stop while I'm ahead on that Socket 604 road, I just wanted to throw those Xeon L7455's in there and have a badass 12core rig for Windows XP/7/maybe 10

Hey! I have K-Meleon, but everything is oversized on my screen. How do I fix it?

I would recommend Betacraft launcher! (From omniarchive) Multimc doesn't worked for me, it was unable to start the game. I am rocking a pentium 4 with 1 gigs of ram

I like your rtx 4090 ti ROG edition ❤❤❤

Just search for the Video "Please NEVER Connect Windows XP To The Internet..." and you wont install Windows XP.

An enjoyable video! 👍👍 I used Pentium 4 computers for over a decade and they did the job.

An impressive rig!👍👍

Deepfreeze at some point might be helpful for old OS. To make it stable and recoverable same as a internet cafe machine. Every restart will be from it's "recovery point"

Recently revived my old XP laptop to do some legacy gaming

With a 3rd party firewall and antivirus you will be fine, no one should run any windows OS without those.

oh this is the motherboard thats supposed to be quad channel ram, from AliExpress X99 Motherboard Huananzhi X99-F8D PLUS v1.2 but seems more like dual channel to me.

Cool Spec of a CRT doesnt get much better than that, and is in keeping with the look of the pc, would look out of place with a modern monitor parked next to that biege retro pc.

As long as the cables dont interfere with Air Flow who cares you cant see it with the side panels on.

Thats a beast, im curious are you getting quad channel with all that Ram only My Dual Xeon System, i think Huananzhi lied to me about there motherboard cause i can only populate every other slot, meaning i could only run 64gb not 128gb which sucks, yeah hard drives arent dead mate, its the cheapest way to get large storage, i have two hdd server's a main (dual amd epyc 7302 with 120gb (dead channel should be 128gb 8gbx16) ddr4 3200 rtx 3060 12gb)and a backup (dual xeon E5 2690 V4 ddr4 2400 cpu limited speed shouldve been 3200 Radeon RX580 8GB) both have roughly 45TB of storage using NAS and Regular 3.5" HDD's, i mean im also using SSD's and NVME Drives to, but the bulk of the storage comes from Spinning Drives. I also think fast fans are prefferable to quietiness for best performance although that does sound very loud Delta 10,000rpm fans or Noctua at 3000rpm? i know other raid types are safer but i stick with raid 0 for speed.

This was incredibly interesting, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻 If I owned a company that’d invested heavily in these cards I probably would’ve been looking for a good lawyer. That price drop is absolutely insane. 😂

I really love XP and still using it. XP SP2, nearly 20 years without updates, never had a virus problem and still using it on the Internet. Commenting with it. My system, with all programs I use (vlc, office 2003, avast, virtualbox etc), only 3.18 GB. Only 450 memory used at startup. I5 3330 with 32 GB of memory. And XP totally loaded in RAM at startup. Way faster than SSD. It's just way faster than my more recent setup.

Hi nice video but I have a question : what resolution did you use for the games ?

Multi-processor machines are pointless for gaming because of low processor to processor bandwidth, and disjointed memory space (each processor controls some of the memory). If one processor nees to access memory of another processor your game will be slow. Stick to single multi-core processor where all memory is local to any core where your game process may spawn.

its all fun and games until you connect to the internet.

Great video, I grew up when windows xp was a thing back then, I just finished building my windows xp machine, I make it as much as extreme as possible, With a I7 4790s, 4 gbs of ram, 500 gb ssd storage, gtx 980ti, it is just awesome!!

Seven is better. There are the nvidia drivers for a modern GPU for 7,not for XP.

This video is incredibly relaxing 😌 Very nostalgic too!

windows 7 and windows xp, I love using them. I use newer windows because I have to (for work)......not because I want to

Yeah as far as browsing the web if you wanted something really up to date Supermium is a backport of up to date versions of Chrome for XP and vista/7. The current version of Supermium is on chrome 122. I've been playing with it and it's fine. I've always said in general regardless of what OS common sense is a great antivirus.

I'm going to guess that you are a Scorpio.

For me the peak of Windows was 2000. I have a Intel i3 9100f and GTX 460 rig with a 1TB Hitachi HDD running 2000 advanced server with the extended kernel, and it is amazing. It is a shame that more people don't develop newer software like web browsers for vanilla 2000; many of the XP ones like MyPal only works on 2K with the extended kernel. In fact, that is the only reason I even have the extended kernel installed. XP was good, but 2K I would say was the true peak. And 2K also natively supported DX9 so technically a lot of XP games should run on vanilla 2000; a lot of them are artificially blocked or require a new version of .NET Framework or Visual C++ for no reason at all

Love it

I might build a nostalgia machine. Old software like MSN Messenger (using Escargot's servers), Macromedia Studio MX 2004, Visual C++ 6, Halo, Myth of Soma, etc.

The world needs a no nonsense OS. Microsoft have been way off the rails for too long and it's crazy that they don't have competition besides Apple.

... its absolute peak (no apostrophe in the possessive pronoun!)

Upgrade to windows 7 or windows 10. Who the hell uses windows xp in 2024? LMAO

Always loved Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Tried Windows 8, 10, and 11. Never really liked either of those. A good video and thanks for sharing!

The gt 740 still can play some new games I believe.

I love Windows XP. That was a time when computers were full of fun. Tinkering in the depths of the system, making something possible that was not officially intended. That was often more fun than the actual gaming. I miss that time very much.

"I can say that in my decades of using windows XP..." - thats all fine. But this is just a single experience. You shouldnt extrapolate from yout personal experience to a general assumption about XP and its security. XP's core design stems from a time period where kernel and OS hardening just wasnt a thing fot Microsoft. There were buffer overflow vulnerabilitirs aplenty. Only with SP2 and the hacked together "firewall" things got a bit better. But the main line of defense was basically: Try to not let any harmful code on the system or start praying. Most modern security features in the windows line of OSs were introduced with Vista and redefined with 7. XP cannot be recommended for anything than a standalone PC that needs XP because of legacy software that cannot be replaced and doesnt work under 7 or wine. You tell us yourself of all the precautions you follow when using XP to browse the web. But whats the point then? And a final thought: It's also not just about your security. Every hacked system can be used as a relay for attacks, as a spam machine or for DDOS purposes. If you want to feel nostalgic, thats fine and all. But for anything else any recommendation of using XP is just not a good idea. Oh: The military you quote pay millions to Microsoft to get special patch treatment. And they do not continue to use XP because it's good but because an OS change means to redo really exhaustive and ultra expensive re-certification processes which would render the systems unusable for months to years.

I personally miss windows XP and 7 so much. I ended up using windows 7 as my main os up until around 2019 but had to upgrade as it was getting harder to get modern applications running. Windows 8-11 has too much bloatware and useless crap I do not care about at all. Oh and Microsoft always forcing updates down my throat is enough to make me want to move away from Windows but unfortunately there's no other os suitable for me. Linux users love to recommend moving to Linux but Linux just isn't Windows plus I only use Nvidia GPU's and use countless programs that Linux doesn't support. There's no decent OS that I genuinely like nowadays.

Windows 7 was the best Os Ever made. Debate me please tell me anything was better than that for a Pc

How did you ever find XP as an efficient OS? It was 2000 with bloatware and (although nice looking) heavy for its time theme. Makes me think you havent used Windows prior to XP if you think 11 is so much worse. People are fighting AI tools now like they were fighting IE integration in 98

XP, 98 and Vista were my fav OS. I remember going from XP to 7 and it was like regressing lol

But, can it run crysis? 😚

Fun fact: Microsoft still provides security patches to XP but you have to pay for them. 😊

15:28 lmfao you railed his ass.

F*** Windows 98, Get Bill Gates in here! Pushin 41, I Say that Quote Everything Im asked to fix a friend's Computer... Nobody Gets It LOL HD PACK UPDATES!!! Quake III Arena & Many Other games have Fan-Made Update Packs, Including Better Graphic Skins & Maps

is not obsolete if it has a use, specially when that use is being compatible with stuff modern hardware is not.

🤣😂 sorry to rain on your memory lane vibe but the truth is Windows XP had more holes then a piece/ slice of swiss cheese and had serious vulnerabilities due to buffer overflows and its susceptibility to malware such as viruses, trojan horses, and worms, in other words, It sucked!

I need it as a VirtualBox VM to run an old Kyocera FS-720 laser printer, one of the few printers Linux can't handle. Does the job just fine.

I really LOVE windows xp!! So amazing!

yes there is a lot of paranoia about security. You have to not download something wrong or go to weird website and it will be fine

last tine i used xp it was on one of those silly little tablets at school it was .................................................................slow
