Just goes to show how much faster computers grew back in the day. Back then, people knew how to install RAM. Nowadays, the concept of a computer fan is baffling. How else does your computer keep cool? (No, watercooling doesn't count. It runs many risks, including the death of your computer.)
Ram is at around a limit of 2TB for regular x86-64 type machines. You can have more for example on blade servers that use multiple boards to have hundreds of cores and terrabytes of memory. So 32TB of ram is possible now.
I had a P3 866mhz TNT2 Riva machine with ME that had a similar experience as you just had. It never gave me any problems and for a long time I wondered why people hated ME so much until I had tried it on a system that it did not agree with.
I think a lot of people who hate Windows Me haven't even used it! I feel the same thing happened with Vista, 8 and 8.1. People tend to hate something with an overall negative opinion, even without using it. Which is ridiculous. Have you seen so many people hating the Atari Jaguar controller? My question is. A system that only sold 250,000 units worldwide. Could it be that so many people had the opportunity to take that controller and test it!?
4:24 - "Oh my God! It looks just like the Windows 98 Setup!" That is very true, as Windows ME was forked off of Windows 98, and is also why I prefer windows 2000 (based off NT Technology) over ME, and why Microsoft based all of the following operating systems off Windows 2000.
yep, how else will you know what still lives and what has died? And what possible oddball uses things may or may not have. And it gives you a chance to get organized (or to de-organize and have fun with your pc tinkering side) Could document the components one by one in each machine and the ones laying loose. Then just put it in a database file or somethin like that
8 Bits wow at Windows ME didn't crush on him when I saw computer clan do a tour of windows millennium edition all that ever happened to the video was the computer crashing
Call me crazy but I don't get the hate for WinMe. Back then it ran quite well even with only 64Mb or RAM, I don't recall seeing blue screens until I used Windows XP and I didn't treat the installation very carefully : forcing drivers installations, playing with config files, and I was about 13 years old. The motherboard had bloated capacitors a few years later and ran fine like that until a mosfet burnt. I installed it again a few years ago on my 3dfx gaming machine and its perfect. I needed only a few drivers for the Voodoo 5 5500 and the sound card yet the system is a bit newer than WinMe. I'd say the main issue with WinMe is that it was advertised as a brand new OS while it was just a big update of Windows 98SE.
note: this comment has inaccurate info, the comment right below this one addresses the inaccurate info and provides corrections, please ignore this comment (original content below if you wanna take a peek) ---- windows me had another driver system added to it (nt style dll's) alongside the old vxd's. these two systems really didn't like cooperating together, but if you had most/all drivers in one system then afaik me ran alrighty. so yea whenever you had a good experience or not was a bit of a roulette dependent on the drivers, but absolutely possible (and if the drivers checked out then me was an objective, if small, upgrade from 98 se, aside from the dos access removal)
@@slashed_out Actually, WDM itself was loaded as a VXD driver (NTKERN.VXD) on Win9x (i know, the irony) and it wasn't strictly a WinME thing either. Windows 98 (the first edition, not SE!) was the first to ship with WDM support, which in itself was backported from the then in-development NT5, which later became 2000. Even Win95 got some limited WDM support in OSR2, for USB mostly.
I’ve got a big foot drive like that, that’s amazing that you have the box for it. The one I have came out of a small Compaq tower, it was bolted into the very bottom of the case and it was one of those weird ergonomic cases. I think I might have seen one inside of a Packard Bell PC, those were the weirdest PCs I have ever seen. With all of their shiny stickers on the front and you couldn’t even peel them off
Never had any trouble with ME. Worked perfectly on my PC at the time. In fact, I had some serious issues getting my dad to join me on XP, because his ME setup was rock solid.
I remember my friends having Me installed on their PCs of the time and and was pretty solid. I tried ME for 30 secs when I realized there was no DOS mode so I switched back to Win98 SE. Man on my dad's mini Sony Vaio of the time had ME installed and man it was huge pile of junk it blue screened like no body's business and Windows 2000 made the computer very usable. To me ME really depends on what Hardware you have installed inside of the thing.
why are there no 5,25" hdd's today? the disc surface would be a lot bigger and therefore enable capacities far above 10TB. Also, nobody really needs optical discs nowadays so the bay is usualy empty. I'd be glad to put a 5,25" hdd in my NAS! So does anyone know why they stopped making these?
My guess is power consumption. If my physics is correct, it takes less energy to spin up a stack of 3.5” platters than a stack of 5.25" platters, assuming the mass of both stacks are equal. (Wiki: Moment of inertia). If anything, the standard might be thicker 2.5" HDDs in the near future (such drives can be found in some Seagate Backup portable HDDs)
Ah, the good ol' Onestop MIDI file. I remember when I discovered it on Windows XP back in the day. Couldn't help but laugh when your hands were spazzing out to the music 🤣🤣
The third series of Bigfoot drives was known as the Quantum Bigfoot TX series. This series increased the drives' spindle speed to 4,000 RPM and upgraded their interface capabilities to ATA-66. These drives carried the higher capacities of 4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB. Like the CY series, access time was advertised as under 12 ms. The 12 GB model is noteworthy for being the first hard drive to attain a capacity in the double digits of gigabytes. Quantum claimed that these drives could outperform many of the 3.5-inch drives on the market at the time.
Do you know about KernelEx? it's a API wine style thingy that allows (in theory) to run 2000/XP/NT era shit on Win98 and WinME. Maybe you already know about it, maybe you don't, maybe you can make a video and try to run shit that wouldn't run on ME and see if it works with KernelEX
Druaga1 there's even a compatibility database you can easily find googling "kernelex wiki" but there aren't many entries, but maybe you can find something there that you may think would be cool running on Win9X. I doubt stuff that is too new will work, but probably a lot of pre-Vista/XP-only stuff may work. Maybe you can try early XP-only games? Anyways, I also wanted to tell you to keep making videos, they are funny and entertaining and in some cases legit interesting stuff! I know small channels sometimes don't get enough love, so there.
I can't believe you have one of these and I can't believe it still works. My brother in law used to work in a custom computer shop and those things would fail if you even glanced in their general direction.

A lot of people are sticking hard to Windows 7 like me. The newer OSes are lighter weight, but with my i7-4790k and 16GB of ram using a 500GB SATA SSD, it really stops mattering. What you get down to is that Windows 7 was the last great OS made by microsoft. Windows 8 is a UI nightmare, Win 8.1 isn't any better, and Win 10 is a privacy nightmare and has bricked more parents' laptops then viruses.
1:31 "It's so big it'll make your optical disks nervous to be around!" Best. Sentence. Ever. Great video. It shows the 1% of the computing world (including me) who at least had a semi-decent experience with ME!
The first computer I remember having in my family had one of these hard drives, it was an old CTX machine. Also used a Cyrix 6X86 CPU and had a turbo button!
Cyrix were good chips, they were a good low budget solution, my first PC was a 5X86. Later I got a 6X86. But then they just seemed to disappear and I had to move onto Athlon...
I had a Quantum TS 19.2GB model for a while. Ran with an AMD K6-2+ 550mhz cpu, 768mb pc100 ram (3x 256), and an 8mb Intel i740 agp 2x/4x card. Later upgraded to a Maxtor Fireball 20gb
Oh your video is just amazing :') It made me remember when I was a child, and I got a PSOne in 2003/4, and it came with a Rayman 2: The Great Scape included! Now I'm keeping my old PS console, but due to I had to move for my university studies, I downloaded the game and sometimes I play it in my emulator :'D nice huh? You videos are inspirating (a lot) and I really like them. you are awesome!
That HDD itself is actually perfectly capable of xp and even windows 7. I used to own several of them and the machines I built them with ran various linux, dos, windows xp and milestone 3 windows 7. All before I had to leave it behind to move cross country.
I love how he goes pretends to nuts over over a hard drive that's subjectively worse (and, not to mention, more cumbersome) than the one we were led to believe he was reviewing. It HAD to be sarcastic.
I have a bunch of these Quantum Bigfoot hard drives. Lol. Also, I love Windows Millennium edition. I don't care if it's hated by many; Windows Millennium edition always has the drivers that you need.
"Hmm.. so what operating system should I put on the Bigfoot?" I'm pretty sure the best answer to that question is Windows 98. Best drive seeking/writing sound ever paired with a good OS. ( I had a Compaq Presario 5150 with this exact drive and OS)

Great video. It shows the 1% of the computing world (including me) who at least had a semi-decent experience with ME!
Gimme that power bitch, Im dead lmao
The only Druaga1 Video to go right
Give me that power bitch. :')
The first computer I remember having in my family had one of these hard drives, it was an old CTX machine. Also used a Cyrix 6X86 CPU and had a turbo button!
Cyrix were good chips, they were a good low budget solution, my first PC was a 5X86. Later I got a 6X86. But then they just seemed to disappear and I had to move onto Athlon...
16 GB of RAM and the Windows Mexican Edition CAN'T RUN
This is wrong in so many levels. I love it!
Santiago Vento it cannot handle that much ram, it will support 512mb and 2gb with some tweaks
Shrijan Shetty yeah. This OS is optimized and runs well on a Pentium 2 and 8mb of RAM
It's millennium edition ME
I had a Quantum TS 19.2GB model for a while. Ran with an AMD K6-2+ 550mhz cpu, 768mb pc100 ram (3x 256), and an 8mb Intel i740 agp 2x/4x card. Later upgraded to a Maxtor Fireball 20gb
Oddly, for whatever reason, Windows ME never gave me any trouble at all while I used it.

@@Mythical6255 oof,
I had a Quantum Bigfoot in my Pentium 1 machine a long time ago. I believe it was not even 2GB, or around that. Perfect for Windows 2000.
you started talking like a gangster 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel strangely proud for having a Bigfoot I got from a recycling event out of impulse a few years ago

Oh your video is just amazing :')
It made me remember when I was a child, and I got a PSOne in 2003/4, and it came with a Rayman 2: The Great Scape included! Now I'm keeping my old PS console, but due to I had to move for my university studies, I downloaded the game and sometimes I play it in my emulator :'D nice huh?
You videos are inspirating (a lot) and I really like them. you are awesome!
Here's the installation disk, something I'll definitely need.
(Throws it and the a splitting sound)
That HDD itself is actually perfectly capable of xp and even windows 7. I used to own several of them and the machines I built them with ran various linux, dos, windows xp and milestone 3 windows 7. All before I had to leave it behind to move cross country.
you are like the regular car reviews of computers
I swear to god this is my favorite Druaga1 video! I had a Big foot back in the day.
I love how he goes pretends to nuts over over a hard drive that's subjectively worse (and, not to mention, more cumbersome) than the one we were led to believe he was reviewing. It HAD to be sarcastic.
Excellent. ME was always my favorite operating system.
I have a bunch of these Quantum Bigfoot hard drives. Lol. Also, I love Windows Millennium edition. I don't care if it's hated by many; Windows Millennium edition always has the drivers that you need.
This video convinced me to buy one 5 years ago. Best IDE drive purchase I've ever made
These are the funniest videos!... Oh damn the W98 on SSD install, I couldn't breathe... Well Done Sir. Well Done
I used to have an 8,6GB or something version of this, it was dope
I always come back.
"Hmm.. so what operating system should I put on the Bigfoot?" I'm pretty sure the best answer to that question is Windows 98.
Best drive seeking/writing sound ever paired with a good OS. ( I had a Compaq Presario 5150 with this exact drive and OS)

It's been about 8 years and I still can't stop remembering this when I have to auto adjust my monitor yet again
I had one of these in my first PC. It was a 10GB, I think, and it was running Win98SE. Thought I'd never run out of space.
Hearing ONESTOP playing was so damn satisfying for some reason.
They should bring Bigfoot drives back. Like a Bigfoot SATA or SSD drive.
