Nice Video! I love that you kept windows 7. The Aero effects and everything just look so amazing! Oh, and one thing: Firefox is still supported on Windows 7, I believe. On my own Windows 7 machine, it runs 115 esr just fine. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If you transplanted those parts into an optiplex 7010, 9010 or newer, or an equivalent HP or Lenovo business box that's a second or third gen core i series SFF, you would have full windows xp through 11 compatability for the most part. And it would be mindblowingly faster. I would be targeting XP on this one, does your CPU have 64 bit? Try windows xp 64 bit it's actually awesome. Firefox ESR gets updates until September 2024 in Windows 7 and 8. I've played with Vista 64 bit on a system like this too and that runs really nice, some chips can run 64 bit in Vista, 7, 8.0 but not 8.1/10.
Hmm... wait... the motherboard doesn't have a 945G? The manual only says it supports P4, PentiumD, CeleronD? The BIOS may lack CPU microcode or the board isn't made for Core CPUs. 945G does support Core CPUs.
It's just bizarre that it doesn't like Core CPUs. I had a DC5100 that also had a P4 CPU but the board had a problem and had to be replaced. I didn't test if a Core CPU worked because I had none more than 15 years ago. Besides that... the CPU heatsink screw screwed to the PC case metal behinde the motherboard and the new motherboard (not HP) didn't align with the metal screwholes for the headsink... just a fewmillimeters to the right. I had to trim the metal and screw those bits on the back of the new motherboard to use the very powerful fan.
You can set up an old wifi router to act as a wireless ethernet jack. Plenty of cheap crappy routers like from netgear or asus allow this. There are also vonets wifi bridge that for $25 is just a sleek package that allows you to plug one device in to the ethernet jack and it will basically convert ethernet to wifi. You bring up a web page on the computer to connect to wifi and after that its just works just needs USB power and ethernet plug. Its called Wifi bridge mode usually.
You could use an ethernet bridge with two plugs, with one bridge going into the ethernet host (your router) and the other going into the target ethernet device.

First gen i series would work too
12:02 Probably the capacitor. My Tualatin PIII motherboard has the same problem.

motherboard just doesn’t support it. Tried a core 2 duo and it wouldn’t boot. HP just never updated it to work with newer CPUs

And If this Has 945g Chipset You Can Put Core 2 duo And q6600 (If This PC Have Microcode To Running core 2 duo or q6600 and Good Ventilation)
For Web Browser You Can Install Firefox Extended Support Release
And What Chipset On Motherboard?
I really like this HP Compaq SSF systems, I have a Pro 6300 on my desk just because it looks so cool.
meow
Nya!
is the 710 about the limit the CPU can do?

I hate sata because it always feels more solid than it actually is.
Like its a good standard dont get me wrong, but its also fragile as all heck.
I Forgot To Say Use H264fy
It's a shame that it does not take any E series CPUs like E4300.
JUST PUT GT1030
New video yay can you pin ?
