Wrapping a old graphics card to smarten it up
The Nvidia 8800GT was a great graphics card, offering fantastic performance for the money. Sadly, this one I recently got looks pretty tired, with scratches and dents on the shroud. Let's try and smarten it up a bit!

Minimum Me - Installing and using Windows Me on minimum hardware specs

I'll just go ahead and say it, I like Windows Me. I like using it today and I had a good experience of it back when it was released. But I had a good system to run it on, so lets see what it was like to install and use Windows Me on it's minimum hardware specification. How long will it take to install, will it be useable, will it just crash? Lets find out.

    You mention that you made a disk image of the drive in it - could you elaborate a little how you did that? Did you remove the drive and installed it in another PC and did the image there or did you use some external CD/DVD drive and what software, if you did it on the Wyse unit itself? If this is in another video of yours just let me know, I'll watch it there.

    You could just pop the circuit board out of the ssd and it may fit in the original d.o.m port, just cover the back with insulating tape to avoid shorting it on the screw point. Many if not most ssd circuit boards do not fill the case it is in, they are mostly to comply with mounting standards and to avoid shorts. Ps. Xp (32bit) works best with 3+ Gb ram, the graphics can use the rest so 2 x 2 Gb would be better. Avoid xp 64 bit as it is fraught with problems and never worked well on anything.

    My first PC build was a Duron 800mhz that I overclocked to 1.2ghz. I definitely had to increase core voltage for the OC. The PC always ran hot and had a lot of noisy fans. I took it to some LAN events and proudly told people about the OC. At later events, guys would be shocked that the 'mighty duron' was still going and hadn't cooked itself yet.

    On these newer units, make sure that you have enough memory, on my 7020 it will take up to 8GB of DDR3 Sodimm chips.. (2 X 4GB) and I replaced the original SSD with a Sata to NGFF adapter and went with a 512GB SSD. was able to install W10 Pro with no issues. I also have a wyse R90LW thin client and right now it will only run WXP on a 2GB SSD (44 pin IDE drive) I am planning on getting a 44 pin ribbon cable for it and use 2 80GB 2.5" IDE Drives. the unit supports SATA, except the cable to upgrade the unit has been discontinued and is impossible to find... as they are a special build. but, all in all... the Dell Wyse thin clients are really nice providing you can upgrade the memory and the SSD to a decent size. you can find WXP through www.zone94.com and you can get W10 and W11 there too!

    try this it might work for you! what you do is take the drivers and go to Local C Drive and double click it and make a Folder called WYSE and in that folder put all the drivers there and use a program like WinRAR if they are in a zip file and extract it there then go to device Manager and click on each hardware and tell it to Update Diver and click the 2nd option browse and direct it to Computer, Local Disc C, Wyse, Drivers and chose the folder and it will scan it and most time it will install the Drivers its like forcing the drivers without trying to install it due to wrong operating or hardware restriction these Wyse are little bit weird and sometime is a bug or a written permission from Wyse or dell to reject the driver but my method usually works cause your not trying to install it your just letting it check for the INF folder and then it forces it to use them drivers...

    Sometimes you can get away with a faster FSB overclock (K6-2+, K6-III, K6-III+) by disabling the motherboard cache in the BIOS, because the cache chip(s) can't keep up with the bus. But as you said, things running on the AGP and PCI bus can also crash due to being so far out of spec :) Great video, love this era of hardware!

    Since I already had an HP t5530 running 98SE, I decided to pick one of these up for a different experiment: How convincingly can Windows XP be made to fake Windows 98SE? The answer is "Beautifully well once the login process is finished". (You go 95% of the way there using Windows XP's built-in theming options... including using the System control panel to apply "performance" tweaks to turn off things like transparent backgrounds on desktop icon labels, and then apply the Inexperience patcher to fix things like the Start Menu icon and use TweakUI for XP and X-Teq X-Setup Pro to apply the last few registry tweaks that have no UI by default... just remember to turn off things like the indexing service, BootOptimizeFunction, and NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate when running XP off flash memory to avoid spending write cycles on mitigations for problems you won't have anyway.)

    Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere haben die CPUs ab dem K6-3D mit Chomper-XT-Kern die Eigenart, das sie damals den Multiplikator von 2.0 als 6.0 interpretierten. Ich konnte damals meinen AMD K6-3+ entweder mit einem Multiplikator von 5.5 und einem FSB von 110 MHz (605 MHz) oder einem Multiplikator von 6.0 mit einem FSB von 100 MHz (600 MHz) betreiben. Mehr habe ich in meiner Konfiguration damals nicht rausholen können.

  • @ricdeckard

    I believe you missed something and I was actually looking forward to seeing how you managed it. 😃When it comes to those adapters that let you use ATX power supplies with an AT motherboard, they bring out the green and black wires for the power button - PS-ON and GROUND respectively. The problem is that the power button on the ATX case is momentary, while the PS-ON signal from the power supply needs to be grounded the whole time the computer is running. To sum it up, the way the PC works at the end of the video is - you press the power button on the case, the computer comes on, you take the finger off the power button, the computer shuts off. You'd need to keep your finger on the power button indefinitely, to keep the computer running. The way this needs to be solved is by physically changing the power button on the case from a momentary switch to a toggle switch that keeps the circuit closed after being pushed and that's easier said than done. To keep it pretty, you'd need to find a toggle switch the same size and form factor as the momentary one mounted on the case.

    You talk about this CPU 'not being as fast as you'd think' based on it's design vs other CPUs of the era, but honestly, if you look at benchmarks of that G-T56N APU compared to what would have been commonly used with XP, it's actually pretty decent. If you consider that the Northwood Pentium 4's would have come out around the same time XP was released, and the Passmark score of a Pentium 4 3.6 GHz CPU is around 315, an Athlon XP 2800+ CPU (similar release date) has a score of 260, and an Athlon 64 x2 3400+, which came out much later is a 531, the G-T56N's score of 484 is actually very impressive, especially considering it's only an 18W TDP vs the Pentium 4 3.6's 115W and the Athlon XP 2800's 89W. This thin client is perfectly suited to running XP, IMHO.
