Just wanted to clarify as I've been getting quite a few comments about it recently: While Afterburner was reading that the CPU was running at 100*C, this wasnt the case (luckily). Unfortunately due to a temp sensor issue it was reporting the wrong temperature. The CPU cooler was fitted perfectly snug despite the lack-luster "zip-tie" solution. Thank you all for your comments though!
I loved this. I'm kind of a hardware hoarder. I have my old Dell dimension from 2002 still. It was our family pc and I've upgraded it to a Pentium 4 3.06ghz and I bought a gt 610 that is made for the standard pci slot so now I can use HDMI. It's a lot of fun.
Or a UGreen DVI to HDMI adapter, or two, which works both on a graphics card's DVI output port, as well as an HP 19" 1280x1024 LED backlit monitor's DVI input port that had no HDMI input beforehand.
Damn!!! My first build in 2005/2006 had almost the same specs as yours!! This video hit me hard with nostalgia :) If I remember correctly my build had: Pentium 4 3.0 2GB RAM GPU I think was a PowerColor Radeon HD 3650 512MB AGP 320GB Samsung HDD I remember back then upgrading the case with some big fans with blue light and nice airflow (cut holes on the front of the case), HDD cooler was a thing back then too and I had one. Stock CPU cooler. Cable management was a mess and I'm pretty sure I was not running proper drivers as back then I didn't even knew what drivers were. I was 16 back then... Good times... I still have most of the parts stored except the case and HDD. Maybe someday I'll revive that pc for the sake of nostalgia. Great video.
Nice, I have a 478 Xpc Shuttle in the loft 3.2 ghz with a Ati 9600 pro 128 mb.. This video has made me quite keen to dig it out. Agp graphics cards prices seemed quite pricey last time I looked, upgrading could be pricey. But you are well aware of that & you seem happy with the rig.
Still have my 478 machine, a Dell Dimension 4600 upgraded to 3.0 GHz and 3 GB of ram with a HD3650 AGP which was a thriftstore find Also has 2x 160 GB IDE HDD’s and a 60 GB Sata SSD, which worked for some reason
I had a old case and motherboard I decided to finally finish building. It just happened to have the exact same MB you are using. Thanks for the video. I will use it as a guide.
Recently put together a pretty similar P4 retro xp build, that was based on an Advent T9100 obtained for free off the kerbside. It's now running a Socket 478 P4 3.20E Prescott, with an ASRock P4i65G motherboard, 2GB (2x1GB) of Kingston Hyper-X DDR 400 memory, a 256MB XFX 6600GT AGP card, and an Audigy SB0090 PCI audio card. Also using a Seasonic SS-500ET PSU, 160GB & 320GB Hitachi SATA drives, dual Lite-On DVD PATA drives, and a Masscool copper CPU cooler, complete with a floppy drive & internal card reader that came with the case. For improved airflow though I had to ghetto jam in a Noctua NF-P12, as the T9100 case, great looking as it is in metallic blue and silver, didn't come with anywhere to mount a case fan natively.
Great work i must say...So much humbleness in developing the wording line... a need for speed 1,2,3 can play on this also......lots of title compatible with the setting.....upgrades also example blueray disk drive really push the installation software this day...last but not least ...enjoyed watching this retro setup ...hurrrraaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
My first pc was my family computer, Had a pentium 4 and like 2GBs RAM, my dad bought it in 2002. I don’t remember too much about because it broke in like 2006-07. 2 years older than me. First computer I bought and built myself is my Ryzen 3 system, which I still use now
Loved this video,I'm also going to build a socket 478 gaming pc I'm so exited, just waiting for the parts to arrive, windows xp and a northwood p4 and an fx5200, similar parts to your build.
ปีที่แล้ว
What? XP nostalgic? OMG The time pass, is true. For my XP era is too close, yesterday Ohhhhh this vídeo have 03 years!
I just picked up a computer from the dump and it has a pentium 4 clocked at 3.6ghz and has 4gb of OCZ DDR-433 and a AMD ATI 800X 256mb of ddr3 and a 480W PSU, it works fine except the smaller fan on the motherboard is shot and it needed a hard drive. But some one just threw it out and I don't know what to do with it now.
1 week ago I built a socket 478 pc of retro parts I had in my attic and it works like a charm on windows xp, then yesterday I've installed windows 7 home premium 32x bits, because it uses less ram and resources than ultimate edition, but it's fine. Here's my retro pc specs: Intel Celeron single-core 2.40 Ghz 128k cache northwood ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP 1gb ram ddr 400 single-channel 400w PSU Torrent Computers 80gb laptop hard drive (I didn't installed a desktop hard drive, because all were broken and corrupted). Windows 7 works very well but the cpu is bottleneck on games. I'm planning to upgrade the cpu to pentium 4, maybe northwood or prescott, but prescott CPUs are more hotter than northwood CPUs, ram to 4gb and a desktop hard drive.
Very nice! I had a socket 478 retro pc too, but it was very power hungry. Now my retro gaming pc runs W98SE in a Turion MT-37 with 512MB DDR1 and a GeForce 6200 256MB.
dude i remember when my pc was a potato pc sims 3 got only 15 fps on lowest settings thats why i upgraded oh yeah quake 3 ran pretty good about 35 fps doom ran 41 fps and half life 2 only ran at 25 fps
Love watching videos about retro builds. I too have Windows XP build but I'm not into "period/era correct" because I want to play all XP era games on max settings. My Windows XP PC right now is FX 4300 (Upgrading to FX 8300 soon) + GTX 960 and will be dual booting with a Windows 7.
Thought I'd share my first PC, cuz why not. Pentium DualCore E5300 (basically a cheaper core 2 duo) Gigabyte p31-es3g or something like that 2 gb DDR2 Single Channel 800 mhz Palit Passive 9500GT 512MB ddr2 I think And of course, lovely Windows XP.
Wow that's almost the same as mine's Core2 duo e8400 Asus p5q 4gb dual channel ddr2 666 mhz 9500gt (upgraded to 8800gt) Windows vista (upgraded to 7, skipped 8, got 10 for free)... Used it untill the 2015s ish before the psu died taking the entire system along with it
Smile ツ alot is subjective, so sure. But the cpu is the same, they are both wolfdale cpus if you look at them under a microscope you wouldnt be able to tell them apart.
Nice setup, build with available parts that don't cost too much. I just got some cards from the same era (P4 2.8, Intel865, Radeon 7000, SB Live Value, 2GB DDR400), maybe for a dual boot (Win98SE + WinXP). Let us know of a any upgrades on the way.
Managed to build an XP PC similar to yours mobo: ASRock P4VM800 CPU: PrescHOT 2.8E Ghz RAM: 2GB Kingmax GPU: MSI FX5200 Sound card: on the hunt for an Audigy 2 ZS Still more powerful than my first PC, even though back then I had the FX5500. The few games I played on it run pretty well, such as Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Morrowind, Worms 3, No One Lives Forever :D 5:04 yep, the same "purr" as mine and something that I don't miss from this era of PCs
That pc looks amazing i love to see old pc/hardware getting some love. i just completed building my nostaligia pc as well it has: A good condition whit old case Pentium 4 3.0ghz Asus p4pe mobo Nvidia fx 5950 2gb ram Sounblaster audigy 2 platinum And even managed to get a good crt monitor for a good price. And i have to admid i love the pc im almost using it more than my main gaming pc😅.
You got that xp disc in there just in time as the drive got initialised. Reminds me of my first pc I built from new parts bought at a pc expo. P4 2.8GHz, some crappy case, a gigabyte entry atx mobo and a GeForce FX5200, some ram and I had the rest. Still got it now and used as a game server but won't run anything as hdd never stops lol
GOTTA HAVE THAT ZUNE THEME! One that came out I installed it as Default to Every & Any PC I fixed since I was the Local PC nice guy for everyone. That was my Jokers Card @ the Crime Scene LOL
My retro machine: pentium 4 2.8 w Hiper Treading enabled, 2gb ddr2 800 dual channel, Palit gt 240 512 mb ddr5, 550w FSP psu w Active PFC, WD Caviar Black 160 gb sata, Seagate Barracuda 320 gb sata, generic HP DVD drive, windows xp proff sp3. Socket 478! All thanks to Asrock p4i945gc w sata, pci-e and ddr 2. It's so fun and interesting to build such a system!
Built a P3 system years ago and somehow ended up getting a Ultra TMD socket 478 super fan heat sink for the P4 . Brand new and not like it will ever find a Mb to use it on or a P4 . Might have to go dumpster dive a hoarders house lol. Had a blue light as well :) MB glowed some nice.
Im just building my Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo 600 and Compaq Presario SR1610NX atm from back in the day and man we are so spoiled with automatic driver installation and updates nowadays...
Playing retro games on actual Hardware is actually the best way to play rather than using emulators which a lot of times can be very glitchy and require so much tweaking.
Put some thermal paste your cpu is always at 100 degres... = Bottleneck Believe me my computer has bottleneck for 8 months on vrchat because he didn't have any thermal paste Now he run Well Great video as always :)
You probably would have gotten a bit more performance out of the machine if you weren’t running XP on it. Obviously you were doing it more for nostalgia rather then performance. But XP has a lot of overhead for a Pentium 4 to deal with. Especially when dealing with service pack 2 or later. That’s when 3+ gig Pentium 4’s or better yet multi-core systems start making more sense. Pentium 4’s are more at home in a Windows 98/2000 era build since by the time XP was maturing there was a growing multi-core presence in the market and by the time XP was being phased out multi-core supporting games for the XP platform were already available. My current XP build has a 4790K and 4 gig GTX 960 not because it’s necessary but simply to run my XP era games at max settings and never have frame drops. Plus I’ve seen Quake 4 and Doom 3 use up to 4 threads so having a multi-core platform does help despite a lot of people claiming all you need is 2 cores for XP. Having said that, after watching videos like this and others it’s made me want to build a ‘best of the best’ Pentium 4 based machine for a while now. Might have to do that sometime.
I have a 128mb pny 5200fx agp, sadly no dvi just two vga ports and an s video, I should really get a 478 rig, came across 10 dell dimensions and only too the ram and some cpus and a gpu out wish I had taken the whole rig
Yes, i have a pretty similar machine, and i plan to use for high end w98 gaming. Asus p5p800 se, p4 3.2ghz, 2gb ddr400 dual-channel, fx5500 256mb, sound blaster live 24 bit. At first i have a ati radeon 9000 pro that has similar performance, better video acceleration and maybe better image quality. But i think the fx5500 has better compatibility and that is the most important for a w98 gaming machine like this.
Nice system - the only thing i can pick on is the cable ties for the CPU cooler - they will not provide anywhere near the clamping force needed for the socket.
Yes I agree. Unfortunately at the time of filming I tried hunting down everywhere online to find 478 mounting clips, but they seem to be some what of a rarity these days 😓
Hahahaha Win XP. I still remember when 3.1.1 was the latest craze. 10 floppy disks. 99% of the time it would load properly and you had to install it all over again. Hold it, I just remembered when DOS was a disk that you put in the computer to make it not a sinker. But hey my first computer was a Vic 20.
Great video ,though you are trying to play games released around ??? ..2010.. ??? (Euro Truck , Driving Speed 2) with a low-end GPU from 2003 ??? My own retro-PC ( Athlon64 FX60 , GeForce 8800GT , 4GB RAM) would have served your gaming interests way better ,since i build it with having in mind to have some extra "headroom" for certain old but demanding games. Still , you built a great retro-PC , but the games you chose to play aren't inline with this PC's age.
Hey man! I love this build! I am attempting a similar project and am looking to get more powerful hardware. Does this motherboard support a 3.00 Ghz CPU? Also, I am looking to find a 478 motherboard that supports onboard SATA. My current board does but it gets confused when I use an IDE and SATA configuration. Does this motherboard let you boot from a SATA drive? Lastly, I have been having issues with getting my motherboard to read my sound card. It is a Sound Blasters Live as well. My motherboard does not have onboard audio so that may be the issue. How do you recommend I fix this? I look foreword to your response!
Hi! Been a while since I did this build so I can't entirely remember the specs, however I'm pretty sure this motherboard could support every 478 CPU. I am able to boot fine on SATA from what I remember, however I believe it did have some problems when identifying IDE Vs SATA, and I might suggest with the sound blaster card that it could be unfortunately dead? Have you tried it in another machine?
Hi@@Techwen! The sound card worked a few days ago when I was trying out different Linux distros on the same system. The card doesn't seem to like Windows XP though. It could be very possible that it recently died. I thought it was weird how I got a message saying that my system detected no Sound Blaster's Live card after completing the official Live setup wizard for Windows 98. Also, I am having a really tough time installing correct wireless and ethernet drivers. I am going to reinstall it with SP3 using nLite to see if I can fix this issue.
Also, would you recommend installing Service Pack 4? I would like to get the latest drivers for Windows XP. Additionally, I am curious about whether it's worth it to buy the XP disc or product key in 2020. Is Windows XP open to the public or do you still have to buy it to legally obtain it? Thank you for your responses so far!
You should overclock that 2.8ghz pentium 4! my Pentium 4 2.8ghz northwood goes to 3.7ghz with stock voltage :)). I also have a 2.93ghz celeron D prescott that does 3.5ghz stock voltage :P. Also pickup a new gpu for that machine, go for a Geforce 5600 Ultra or better. Heck even a Radeon HD 3850 AGP or 4650 AGP
Not that 'retro'. I still use a HP Pavilion 472uk with Pentium 4 (2GHz), 2 x 1GB RAM (was originally 128K), MX 450 video card, add-in USB 2.0 card (was originally USB 1.0), on-board audio, Windows XP SP2, original keyboard and mouse. The system was purchased (factory refurbished) in 2003 and has been used almost every day since. I'd upgrade the Pentium to 2.8GHz but I've yet to figure out how to remove the non-standard heatsink. The RAM is maxed-out at 2GB. The operating system was supplied on EIGHT separate CDs which have to be loaded in a fixed sequence. It has so far defied all efforts to update to SP3.
CPU at 100 celcius means the heatsink have to be reseated. This looks more like a Windows 98 machine project. Just diminish the ram. XP could run on a multicore CPU like fx8350 and lower and Ivy Bridge intel and lower like 3xxx. An AMD 270x and NVIDIA GT 960 would run with it.
I have the exact same rig with an ati chipset. "(hp board) mine is a pentium d960 at 3.6g. i am using the ati onboard graphics with similar results. the case is difficult to wire up. mine triple boots 98, xp & vista.
Just wanted to clarify as I've been getting quite a few comments about it recently:
While Afterburner was reading that the CPU was running at 100*C, this wasnt the case (luckily). Unfortunately due to a temp sensor issue it was reporting the wrong temperature. The CPU cooler was fitted perfectly snug despite the lack-luster "zip-tie" solution.
Thank you all for your comments though!
9:30 cars secretly are powered by moving carpets confirmed.
Interesting video though, growing up with 478 was an 8/10
That windows xp song at 5:18 really got me hehe, so damn nostalgic
I am using Windows 2000 professional. Installed CPU. From March 2001 to till date now. It's have only 40GB hard disc
I loved this. I'm kind of a hardware hoarder. I have my old Dell dimension from 2002 still. It was our family pc and I've upgraded it to a Pentium 4 3.06ghz and I bought a gt 610 that is made for the standard pci slot so now I can use HDMI. It's a lot of fun.
you have agp graphic cards with 1gigs VRAM and HDMI like the HIS
HD 4650
You can also use PCI to PCIe adapter
Or a UGreen DVI to HDMI adapter, or two, which works both on a graphics card's DVI output port, as well as an HP 19" 1280x1024 LED backlit monitor's DVI input port that had no HDMI input beforehand.
i remember when i got an pentium 3 it got upgraded to celeron then core duo and then to the amd A10
Damn, that Windows XP installation setup music hit me hard...
Same! Sad so many people never heard it because XP usually didn't have the sound drivers ready during the install. That's on you, Bill!
never heard it as well , never knew the " secret music " is just an installation music lmao
Same
Oh great I discovered a new retro hardware channel and such a young one none less. Keep on uploading mate, 478, 775, 939,AM2+ are not dead just yet :D
Dang, even the Windows XP installation music and the zune wallpaper were spot on!
Nice build, and that case is PERFECT! The stickers make it!
Damn!!! My first build in 2005/2006 had almost the same specs as yours!! This video hit me hard with nostalgia :)
If I remember correctly my build had:
Pentium 4 3.0
2GB RAM
GPU I think was a PowerColor Radeon HD 3650 512MB AGP
320GB Samsung HDD
I remember back then upgrading the case with some big fans with blue light and nice airflow (cut holes on the front of the case), HDD cooler was a thing back then too and I had one. Stock CPU cooler.
Cable management was a mess and I'm pretty sure I was not running proper drivers as back then I didn't even knew what drivers were. I was 16 back then... Good times...
I still have most of the parts stored except the case and HDD. Maybe someday I'll revive that pc for the sake of nostalgia.
Great video.
I had a pentium 4 3 GHZ but the pins bent bad, now i have a 1.20 GHZ P4, 1GB ram, and 80 GB HDD
You did a great job on the cable management. Trying to tidy those old cables in those cases is no joke.
Gotta love those nvidea stickers man.....that's my childhood
Nice, I have a 478 Xpc Shuttle in the loft 3.2 ghz with a Ati 9600 pro 128 mb.. This video has made me quite keen to dig it out. Agp graphics cards prices seemed quite pricey last time I looked, upgrading could be pricey. But you are well aware of that & you seem happy with the rig.
I got a socket 478 Pentium 4 for my Windows 98 overkill gaming machine. I'm ready to assemble it now.
Nice filming; soothing lighting, editing and voiceover. Subscribed!
Still have my 478 machine, a Dell Dimension 4600 upgraded to 3.0 GHz and 3 GB of ram with a HD3650 AGP which was a thriftstore find
Also has 2x 160 GB IDE HDD’s and a 60 GB Sata SSD, which worked for some reason
😱😱😱
I had a old case and motherboard I decided to finally finish building. It just happened to have the exact same MB you are using.
Thanks for the video. I will use it as a guide.
That SL6WJ was legendary, latest batch of Northwoods cores.
This is some Green Ham Gaming kind of stuff. Keep it up !!
It's not the ultimate 2000s PC without all the weird heatsinks. Hdd, Ram, Northbridge and Southbridge. Nice video
Recently put together a pretty similar P4 retro xp build, that was based on an Advent T9100 obtained for free off the kerbside.
It's now running a Socket 478 P4 3.20E Prescott, with an ASRock P4i65G motherboard, 2GB (2x1GB) of Kingston Hyper-X DDR 400 memory, a 256MB XFX 6600GT AGP card, and an Audigy SB0090 PCI audio card.
Also using a Seasonic SS-500ET PSU, 160GB & 320GB Hitachi SATA drives, dual Lite-On DVD PATA drives, and a Masscool copper CPU cooler, complete with a floppy drive & internal card reader that came with the case.
For improved airflow though I had to ghetto jam in a Noctua NF-P12, as the T9100 case, great looking as it is in metallic blue and silver, didn't come with anywhere to mount a case fan natively.
Nice video but... a Geforce FX 5200? Come on man, that was the worst of the FX family.
Tbf most good agp cards are rare And expensive... lucky me I got a FX 5900 Ultra for like 15 bucks!
ARZ' Yea me too a asus fx 5900 ultra just for 15 euro
😆 aaa😂🤣
Awesome video production for a retro vibe and voice over
Loved the video! The FX5200 is not realy the best card our there for the 2003 era! I would recomend an ATI Radeon 9600 or 9800 XT or a Geforce 6600 GT
fx5200👎 , amd hd2400pro good job👍
NSK-3480 Top Notch. The review on it shows just how much a basic office case can do.
Great work i must say...So much humbleness in developing the wording line... a need for speed 1,2,3 can play on this also......lots of title compatible with the setting.....upgrades also example blueray disk drive really push the installation software this day...last but not least ...enjoyed watching this retro setup ...hurrrraaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

You can upgrade your gpu to ATI HD 3650 AGP, but it's difficult to find it.
You might wanna check the way you mounted the CPU cooler as it said that the CPU was running at 100 degrees the whole time lol

Nice setup, build with available parts that don't cost too much. I just got some cards from the same era (P4 2.8, Intel865, Radeon 7000, SB Live Value, 2GB DDR400), maybe for a dual boot (Win98SE + WinXP). Let us know of a any upgrades on the way.
Managed to build an XP PC similar to yours

My parents pc was a medion pc with an 3 ghz pentium d with 2 gb of ram and a 250gb sata hard drive and a nvidia Geforce 6700xl graphics card.
I have the same case with modern Ryzen and RX570 GPU. Beautiful case. Although mine is all black.
Still have that same Samsung Monitor as a spare. In case yours starts to fail, just recap it, it'll have another decade in it afterwards.
man I love those old antec cases
Today case is just fancy RGB crap..
Nothing like these anymore
really beautiful case!!!
Not fair I didn't grow up in the computer age. Not seen so many add in cards in a PC for so long.
Back in the day i had pentium 4 with 512mb gpu and those days were ❤🔥
Really enjoyed this
Glad you enjoyed it :)
i had a pentium 4 that used to run smoothly and with lower input lag than my current 9900k. Stability was better back then...
That FSP Group psu looks like it came out of an older Packard Bell system.
Age of empires ! Ran great on P3 !
Windows xp is my childhood os.
I am using Windows 2000 professional. Installed CPU. From March 2001 to till date now. It's have only 40GB hard disc
@@sanjeevdas4805 very nice, those low capacity hard drive’s are very rare to come by
I like that Case...
Windows XP will always be my favorite operating system the legend of Windows XP
I thought I am the only one! Yep xp is my favourite operation system too😀
Windows XP Home Edition 32 Bit SP3
Windows XP Media Center Edition 32 Bit SP3
Windows XP Professional 32 Bit SP3
Windows XP Professional 64 Bit SP2
man your cpu was 100 degree Celsius XD,anyways nice video
Ah yes the ultimate windows xp machine with the legendary fx5200
Playing retro games on actual Hardware is actually the best way to play rather than using emulators which a lot of times can be very glitchy and require so much tweaking.
The GeForce FX 5200 was a super shit even in 2003, 5900xt or 5600 ultra or 9800pro was the videocards of dreams
Put some thermal paste your cpu is always at 100 degres... = Bottleneck
Believe me my computer has bottleneck for 8 months on vrchat because he didn't have any thermal paste
Now he run Well
Great video as always :)
You probably would have gotten a bit more performance out of the machine if you weren’t running XP on it. Obviously you were doing it more for nostalgia rather then performance. But XP has a lot of overhead for a Pentium 4 to deal with. Especially when dealing with service pack 2 or later. That’s when 3+ gig Pentium 4’s or better yet multi-core systems start making more sense. Pentium 4’s are more at home in a Windows 98/2000 era build since by the time XP was maturing there was a growing multi-core presence in the market and by the time XP was being phased out multi-core supporting games for the XP platform were already available.
My current XP build has a 4790K and 4 gig GTX 960 not because it’s necessary but simply to run my XP era games at max settings and never have frame drops. Plus I’ve seen Quake 4 and Doom 3 use up to 4 threads so having a multi-core platform does help despite a lot of people claiming all you need is 2 cores for XP. Having said that, after watching videos like this and others it’s made me want to build a ‘best of the best’ Pentium 4 based machine for a while now. Might have to do that sometime.
That 100°C CPU temps tho, fix your cooling and u will probably get a better experience.
I have a 128mb pny 5200fx agp, sadly no dvi just two vga ports and an s video, I should really get a 478 rig, came across 10 dell dimensions and only too the ram and some cpus and a gpu out wish I had taken the whole rig
atec always makes the best stuff
That machine would propably be a very fast Windows 98se/Me/2k setup...
Yes, i have a pretty similar machine, and i plan to use for high end w98 gaming. Asus p5p800 se, p4 3.2ghz, 2gb ddr400 dual-channel, fx5500 256mb, sound blaster live 24 bit. At first i have a ati radeon 9000 pro that has similar performance, better video acceleration and maybe better image quality. But i think the fx5500 has better compatibility and that is the most important for a w98 gaming machine like this.
Someday i will build my first computer again, Celeron D 325, fx 5200 128mb agp, hd 80gb, 1,5gb ram ddr1, good times.
I have a dedicated XP rig with Q9550 and GT730 2GB GDDR5.
Awesome
Nice system - the only thing i can pick on is the cable ties for the CPU cooler - they will not provide anywhere near the clamping force needed for the socket.
Yes I agree. Unfortunately at the time of filming I tried hunting down everywhere online to find 478 mounting clips, but they seem to be some what of a rarity these days 😓
@@Techwen I had heaps of 478 stuff from ages ago and didn't realise it was so thin on the ground - everything is either socket 7 or 775
How are you playing hl2? Steam? Didn’t they make it stop working?
How did you get all these games on windows XP!
I buyed an old pc that had waranty in 2007 it was soo dusty i gived it a good old clean and worked
Fan blade not "fin" and cable ties jeezo where are you from?
Mars
Hahahaha Win XP. I still remember when 3.1.1 was the latest craze. 10 floppy disks. 99% of the time it would load properly and you had to install it all over again. Hold it, I just remembered when DOS was a disk that you put in the computer to make it not a sinker. But hey my first computer was a Vic 20.
Why the CPU temp is at 100°C during the benchmarks?
Even though i have modern gaming PC, i still want to have some older systems around me.
I was around 20 years old when XP launched, does that count as "grew up using"? lmao
100°C? Oh shoot
What kind motherboard u use dude?
I missed the Pentium 4 era by using the Pentium M. I wonder how they compared.
Great video ,though you are trying to play games released around ??? ..2010.. ??? (Euro Truck , Driving Speed 2) with a low-end GPU from 2003 ???
My own retro-PC ( Athlon64 FX60 , GeForce 8800GT , 4GB RAM) would have served your gaming interests way better ,since i build it with having in mind to have some extra "headroom" for certain old but demanding games.
Still , you built a great retro-PC , but the games you chose to play aren't inline with this PC's age.
I still have a windows xp pc
In iran windows 98 and xp was very popular back in the days
Found a dell b110 yesterday by the road...it had a s478...Celeron.
Hey man! I love this build! I am attempting a similar project and am looking to get more powerful hardware. Does this motherboard support a 3.00 Ghz CPU? Also, I am looking to find a 478 motherboard that supports onboard SATA. My current board does but it gets confused when I use an IDE and SATA configuration. Does this motherboard let you boot from a SATA drive? Lastly, I have been having issues with getting my motherboard to read my sound card. It is a Sound Blasters Live as well. My motherboard does not have onboard audio so that may be the issue. How do you recommend I fix this? I look foreword to your response!
Hi!
Been a while since I did this build so I can't entirely remember the specs, however I'm pretty sure this motherboard could support every 478 CPU. I am able to boot fine on SATA from what I remember, however I believe it did have some problems when identifying IDE Vs SATA, and I might suggest with the sound blaster card that it could be unfortunately dead? Have you tried it in another machine?
Hi@@Techwen! The sound card worked a few days ago when I was trying out different Linux distros on the same system. The card doesn't seem to like Windows XP though. It could be very possible that it recently died. I thought it was weird how I got a message saying that my system detected no Sound Blaster's Live card after completing the official Live setup wizard for Windows 98. Also, I am having a really tough time installing correct wireless and ethernet drivers. I am going to reinstall it with SP3 using nLite to see if I can fix this issue.
Also, would you recommend installing Service Pack 4? I would like to get the latest drivers for Windows XP. Additionally, I am curious about whether it's worth it to buy the XP disc or product key in 2020. Is Windows XP open to the public or do you still have to buy it to legally obtain it? Thank you for your responses so far!
You should overclock that 2.8ghz pentium 4! my Pentium 4 2.8ghz northwood goes to 3.7ghz with stock voltage :)). I also have a 2.93ghz celeron D prescott that does 3.5ghz stock voltage :P. Also pickup a new gpu for that machine, go for a Geforce 5600 Ultra or better. Heck even a Radeon HD 3850 AGP or 4650 AGP
Not that 'retro'. I still use a HP Pavilion 472uk with Pentium 4 (2GHz), 2 x 1GB RAM (was originally 128K), MX 450 video card, add-in USB 2.0 card (was originally USB 1.0), on-board audio, Windows XP SP2, original keyboard and mouse.
The system was purchased (factory refurbished) in 2003 and has been used almost every day since. I'd upgrade the Pentium to 2.8GHz but I've yet to figure out how to remove the non-standard heatsink. The RAM is maxed-out at 2GB. The operating system was supplied on EIGHT separate CDs which have to be loaded in a fixed sequence. It has so far defied all efforts to update to SP3.
CPU at 100 celcius means the heatsink have to be reseated. This looks more like a Windows 98 machine project. Just diminish the ram. XP could run on a multicore CPU like fx8350 and lower and Ivy Bridge intel and lower like 3xxx. An AMD 270x and NVIDIA GT 960 would run with it.
I have the exact same rig with an ati chipset. "(hp board) mine is a pentium d960 at 3.6g. i am using the ati onboard graphics with similar results. the case is difficult to wire up. mine triple boots 98, xp & vista.
Will it RAN gameloop emulator ???
Impossible
You can max it out with a 6600gt
I remember being desperate for a 600Mhz P3... and 128 mb of ram!
