i love restoring old computers, i have a playlist on my channel called PC hardware can you check it out and tell me what u think, you've inspired me to make these videos.
Too bad the case wasn't complete with the sidepanel, rather clean looking case. Could probably suit for a alright budget system based on a am3 95w cpu & a am3+ motherboard that supports 125w tdp cpu's + buying a athlon II x3 cpu used & unlocking the 4th cpu core. Was a great budget option back a few years ago + 4 gb ddr3 ram & a gpu supporting windows xp perhaps something like a gtx 750 ti so you can go between xp / windows 7 / 10 Dual booting between those would make an interesting machine for all around work & gaming really. (Ofc pirated windows xp & 7 works fine when turning off windows update & you could also just run 7 without a license for testing purposes as well.) If you got a decent third party socket 775 motherboard. (Like an asus p5 series motherboard with ddr2 or any other motherboard with 1333 mhz fsb support & ddr2 ram works for this socket 771 mod very well on the higher range of xeon cpu's) I'd look into perhaps modifying one for a socket 771 xeon quadcore processor that's a lower power model for a server at 2.5 ghz or similar. You could also probably have recovered that windows 7 key & reinstalled with that key on another machine fairly easily. My desktop system is running a key from an old asus laptop that had 7 home premium on it.
João Candeias my HP Compaq from 2004 can support up to 8gbs of ram and mine has an AMD athlon 64 @1.99ghz with a great 720 video card and Windows XP pro.
the mre nerd Yeah, you must be right. 8gigs seems to be very "advanced" for 2005, but still that computer had more ram than mine and that pisses me off in some way :>
I personally own an HP xw6600 Workstation with dual Intel Xeon E5450 CPUs and it's a fantastic system. Love it to bits, although I got rid of the graphics card though I plan to get another one soon when I can.
Even with more ram and an SSD that system won't run Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 very well. I know as I've tried them on similarly specced systems for people when they have requested it. Some people just don't have a clue about things (not you, but the ones who bash you running Linux on older systems). Anything lower than a Core 2 Duo just won't cut it in newer versions of Windows.
I agree. While systems like this will run Windows versions from 7 to 10 the user experience can be a bit lacking. If I was giving a friend / family member a machine like this I would definitely install a linux distro on it :)
I have the hp xw4600 model (2008) and I turned it into a retro gaming PC and it still holds up today. Firefox and games like World of Warcraft, Diablo III, Half-Life 2, Fallout 3 and Dead Space have been running very well. My Specs: OS: Windows XP SP3 32-bit CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0 GHz RAM: 4 GB DDR2 Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW w/ ACX HDD: 2 TB Seagate SATA PSU: Delta Electronics 475 W w/ 80 plus bronze
I have a XW4300 win XPpro with internal Raid 1 I use it as music itunes server on my network great buy on ebay 350$AU had it since 2007! Have upgraded with USB3 Card. Great Machine
i recently found a xw8600 with a Xeon processor and 16gb of ram just a house away from me, and picked it up for free. :) i installed windows 7 enterprise on it
Hi, I bought one of these from a garage sale, it came with 2GB of ram, so two 1GB rams , and I bought two other 1GB Rams to get it to 4, but it keeps beeping and does not boot, according to the manual it’s a RAM issue, I am certain all 4 rams are working, they work in both pairs of RAM but apparently only when the rams are matching one another 100% , any ideas on what I should do?
Yesterday I was at axman surplus and found an hp wx6600 workstation for ten dollars it was a dual CPU model but only had one installed it was a Xeon at 2.0ghz ,2gbs of ram and an XFX 8800gt alpha dog edition video card I will hopefully make a video it was a good deal
The XW4300 can be upgraded to Petium D with the newest BIOS, i got a Pentium D 950 working on the xw4300 motherboard, best CPU you can install on it is Pentium 4 670, Pentium 4 661 or Pentium D 960, i'm not sure if the Pentium Extreme Edition 955/965 will work on the motherboard despite the chipset supports the needed FSB
well. it's ATX compliant, so just drop a different board and PSU in. HDD cooling seems to be certainly adequate, assuming there's a fan in front of the drive cage. not sure where you'd find just the case cover, though.
That PSU is a HP propietary unit, and you can't fit a "off the shelf" motherboard in it either without modifications since the board is mounted on a removable tray and doesn't have removable standoff's
Hmm.. I have a xw4400 in my garage! I used it with Windows 10 a bit but all of a sudden there was a really bad burnt electronic smell that came from the PSU and the computer kept flashing its power LED red. I immediately thought it was the PSU so i took it apart and salvaged the fan. Turns out the GPU had cooked and the PSU just sucked up the smoke making it smell burned... Now it just sits without a GPU or PSU since I don't have a spare..
My laptop is pretty old.. An. Vaio.. 3gn ram 500 gb 5200 rom hdd sata.. 1024 mb Nvidia 210m gpu.. Can it run *win 10? Edit: an core to duo 2.1 ghz and running win 7 currently
When I buy used computers, I usually try to aim for the ones that have Windows 7 product keys on them so I can actively use Windows 7, until January 2020, and then upgrade to Windows 10.
It's a standard ATX form factor but the motherboard is mounted on a removable tray so you can't fit a "off the shelf" motherboard in this case without some modifications.
Great machine for $5. That 8GB of DDR2 ram is worth more than $5. Try and get a HP XW4600, socket 775. If you are lucky to find a xw6600 or xw8600 with dual socket 771. Great servers, great for cheap gaming. Remember remaking a xw8600 and slapping in a gtx 580. Good times.
Saying that a workstation class PC is not a daily driver ignores the people who do use them that way(If I need to explain that a system with 18 ram slots and 2 cpus is a workstation class machine, so help me).
does support dual cores, but not core 2 based CPUs, Pentium D 960 is the best supported CPU unless it supports the Pentium Extreme Edition 955/965 as well (hoping the BIOS will work with them since the chipset supports them)
Carlos the bios will support the 950 or 960, but not the 955 or 965. But an old system like that isn't worth the $30 or so that the it would take to upgrade it. It would run much hotter, use a lot more power, and wouldn't perform enough better to warrant it.
Since this is socket 775 and not 478, you could change the psu to an affordable and reliable unit from evga or corsair, throw a q6600 and something like a GT 1030 or something and you have yourself a pretty killer used pc for less than 150 $
its the chipset thats at limitation, if he can find out its above the i945 chipset he might be able to flash the bios with custom cpu id's to support it, however risk of bricking the pc
The Xw4300 workstation doesn't support either of those uppgrades, since it only supports P4's and Celeron's, and the PSU is a HP proprietary unit, however the Xw4600 does support C2Q's but it still has the same proprietary PSU as the Xw4300.
i have one in my living room right now lol with a older 5000x series 512mb ati graphics card its my media center for livingroom tv emulate a few consoles stream video and youtube mines dual dual core 2.8ghz
you couldve gotten windows 7 back on that machine which is something i see you do all the time is just ignore that there is an installation of windows but you dont even grab the key which you can get from the system
hehe I bought a hp xw6200 with two single core xeons equivelent to a Pentium d. 2GB of ddr2 ecc memory and an 80 GB hard drive also it had a nvs 450. lol
While i am watching your video i am rocking xw8600 - 12gb ram 2x processors 3.0ghz 8core 8threds i actualy paid 25$ for GT 740 xD. And PC was free in junk jard..Good Video mate Sub and Like. Btw i am playing Gta5 on high 47 fps all the time...
Most people don't know how an internal combustion engine works, but that neither removes merit from it revolutionising transportation nor does it change the fact that it's the most widespread method of power generation in human history.
5had0w5talk3r it's a damn shirty os for desktop use. Driver problems, VSync problems, using 200 commands to install anything, trying to get wireless working, no compatibility, shit garbage performance, etc.
I've had far less driver problems in my 6+ years of Linux than whenever I've had the displeasure of installing a fresh copy of Windows. In Linux I get a completely working desktop out of the box. Most of the times I don't get networking at all in Windows and have to deal with 800x600 resolution until I install a million drivers that will each require a restart. I've not had any issues with V-Sync either, outside of some SiS chips but those guys have been dead for years anyway. You've been able to install software through a GUI for well over a decade, quit being disingenuous. And even if you want to install through the terminal (which is actually way faster and more convenient), every package manager does it in a single command, so again, you're being disingenuous. Wireless works out of the box on any wireless chip worth a damn (Atheros, Intel, etc.). The only company who occasionally gives any trouble is Broadcom and their wifi chips are terrible. Linux is plenty compatible with any software written to run on it and the vast majority of users can be easily serviced by the software that has been written to run on it. Performance on Linux is excellent, it wouldn't be the most widely used Supercomputer OS if it wasn't. Neither would companies like Disney and Pixar prefer it for all their animating and rendering. Neither would over 95% of the most visited websites on the planet run on it. In fact, when Microsoft ported their SQL server to Linux they immediately saw a performance boost before they even began optimising the code. By all means run whatever OS makes you happy, but there's no need to be disingenuous about competing OSs to make yourself feel superior with your choice. Linux has its fair share of legitimate problems, as does Windows/Mac/FreeBSD/etc. Enjoy Windows more than any other OS? More power to you.
5had0w5talk3r I've probably been using Linux for longer than you knew what a computer was. I've tried countless distros, and I've never not had driver problems. Weather is was Linux forcing a 60hz vsync cap and yet somehow still getting screen tearing, Intel 3160 802.11ac dual band not functioning at all, having a largely unhelpful community that will just tell you to switch distros (which never helps. I've used almost all of them.) to my Ethernet simply cutting out for a few milliseconds and disconnecting all active connections every 30seconds, I've literally never not had problems in Linux. That's not even accounting for the lack of essential programs like msi afterburner, speedfan, CPU-z etc, the shit garbage gaming performance even on native OpenGL titles, and the need for countless commands and restarts Windows on the other hand, can install in half an hour, and boot up with the proper wireless, graphics, Ethernet , usb, you name it drivers without restarting. I recently installed windows 10 on my gaming rig, and I installed all my programs at once using ninite, windows took care of my drivers, and I was playing games online with my friends without a single reboot. Logitech gaming software *did* claim that it required a restart, but I simply told it to restart later and opened the program, and it all went smoothly.
Feck! What a find. Id pay $5 for the Hard Drive. You could make a monster early XP game PC with a good grafix card.. Sweet. DONT PUT LINUX ON IT. Its made for XP so use XP 32 bit. W7 is no good either.
Any computer with a Windows 7 Logo on it should be upgraded using Windows Upgrade Tool. Wasting such a free upgrade is a shame. Especially if the machine is as powerful as this one. But you are just using live ubuntu as a demonstration and maybe you will upgrade to Windows 10
They don't have any Folding Clients that will run on something that old any more. They just don't have the computing power to handle the modern Work Units.
I actually subbed Because you use Linux. :) I've been using Linux since 2014, and haven't regretted it once. I'm also a gamer, and while Linux doesn't have all the latest AAA titles, it does have a very good selection of amazing games to play. :) (I consider most AAA titles to be overrated/overhyped anyway, soo...)
Just a quick FYI, the side panel was missing when I bought it.
AA Computers and Technology dude can you make a video about that dell 530s please :)
@aacat If you want I could send you a side panel to that machine, I have some extra ones.
the mre nerd do you have any 5.25" and 3.5" bay covers? I need one of each.
i love restoring old computers, i have a playlist on my channel called PC hardware can you check it out and tell me what u think, you've inspired me to make these videos.
Too bad the case wasn't complete with the sidepanel, rather clean looking case.

8 gigs of ram in 2005? I feel bad for myself because i bought a laptop with 4GB in late 2016 ;-; I really need to upgrade it...
João Candeias my HP Compaq from 2004 can support up to 8gbs of ram and mine has an AMD athlon 64 @1.99ghz with a great 720 video card and Windows XP pro.
Nice machine you have.
It probably didn't come with 8GB from the factory, atleast mine came with 2gb from the factory.
the mre nerd Yeah, you must be right. 8gigs seems to be very "advanced" for 2005, but still that computer had more ram than mine and that pisses me off in some way :>
8gigs of ram in 2005 was probably damn expensive
I found 2 in the street just now it even boots to bios good I got it in before the rain came.
I personally own an HP xw6600 Workstation with dual Intel Xeon E5450 CPUs and it's a fantastic system. Love it to bits, although I got rid of the graphics card though I plan to get another one soon when I can.
Awesome :D !
And here I sit, using a HP xw4400, with 4Gb ECC, and 8TB hd space. Best $10 fileserver (minus the harddrives, had them already)
I got one of these it was used by previous owner as a CAD machine sporting the fire gl series card.
My hp dc7800 died so it was back to this machine

Pentium 4HT's do ok, it will definitely run, whether its fast or not.
daniel15092 it will run alot better if he throws in something like this Look at this on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/271810575887
Toby, that won't run on that motherboard. It's limited to P4's and some Celerons.
daniel15092, I didn't say it wouldn't run only that it wouldn't run that well which is the truth.
I agree. While systems like this will run Windows versions from 7 to 10 the user experience can be a bit lacking. If I was giving a friend / family member a machine like this I would definitely install a linux distro on it :)
Ive got one upgraded it a ton, best gaming pc ever and strong as a beast, keep it use it it will treat you well
I have the hp xw4600 model (2008) and I turned it into a retro gaming PC and it still holds up today. Firefox and games like World of Warcraft, Diablo III, Half-Life 2, Fallout 3 and Dead Space have been running very well.
My Specs:

I love your dual monitors in the back
So do I :p . The setup turned out just the way I wanted it to!
Cant beat a classic banger base unit
FYI: The Quadro FX 540 is basically a GeForce 6600 GT.
Ever since i saw this in the background of one of your videos i have been excited to see it
I have a XW4300 win XPpro with internal Raid 1 I use it as music itunes server on my network great buy on ebay 350$AU had it since 2007!
Have upgraded with USB3 Card. Great Machine
Keep at it bro ;) love your flavour of productivity and tech ingenuity. The garden shots 10/10
Damn my college used to use these for the Computer Drafting classes. They were pretty fast in 2006 with Windows XP lol
Sweet find. I gotta' go to more garage sales...
I recently got one of these and I want to put a xeon in it is it possible to put a motherboard of the same size in it to put a xeon
I'd love to have a space heater like this. As long as it's not a Pentium D, that thing was a furnace.
i recently found a xw8600 with a Xeon processor and 16gb of ram just a house away from me, and picked it up for free. :) i installed windows 7 enterprise on it

I have an old xw4600 next to me. Core to duo e8400 and a quadro fx 4800 with 4 gigs of ram
Aye I'd buy that drive for spareparts, my seagate barracuda 7200.00 died from just sitting around for a while
Was waiting for another video!
Saw the title and immediately subbed love these videos
I just retired mine. However it was a dual quad 5350 xeon and 32gigs of ram. This seems to be a very low end model.
Sub'd because of all the thinkpad videos! I love my ol' X220 (w/ the IPS screen). got Qubes running on it. =)
I wonder if it might support an LGA 771 CPU if you did the thing.
Can we upgrade the processor for this machine
To which i should upgrade
Yesterday I was at axman surplus and found an hp wx6600 workstation for ten dollars it was a dual CPU model but only had one installed it was a Xeon at 2.0ghz ,2gbs of ram and an XFX 8800gt alpha dog edition video card I will hopefully make a video it was a good deal
That's definitely not a bad find!
The XW4300 can be upgraded to Petium D with the newest BIOS, i got a Pentium D 950 working on the xw4300 motherboard, best CPU you can install on it is Pentium 4 670, Pentium 4 661 or Pentium D 960, i'm not sure if the Pentium Extreme Edition 955/965 will work on the motherboard despite the chipset supports the needed FSB
When this is my main pc, with a Pentium D 4gb ram and a Quadro fx1700. rip me
HumdrumAnt have you tried running gta 5?
well. it's ATX compliant, so just drop a different board and PSU in. HDD cooling seems to be certainly adequate, assuming there's a fan in front of the drive cage.
not sure where you'd find just the case cover, though.
There is nothing wrong with that Delta PSU.
That PSU is a HP propietary unit, and you can't fit a "off the shelf" motherboard in it either without modifications since the board is mounted on a removable tray and doesn't have removable standoff's
Hmm.. I have a xw4400 in my garage! I used it with Windows 10 a bit but all of a sudden there was a really bad burnt electronic smell that came from the PSU and the computer kept flashing its power LED red. I immediately thought it was the PSU so i took it apart and salvaged the fan. Turns out the GPU had cooked and the PSU just sucked up the smoke making it smell burned... Now it just sits without a GPU or PSU since I don't have a spare..
the sata ports you have to use the color coded cables
I had one of the duel CPU versions of this.. It was good for the price.
Why not test and record with 8GB's of RAM first, then swap it out into other PC's etc.. ?
I have HP Workstation x4600 is c2d 2.66GHz 4gb ecc, quadro fx370, and an x38 chipset hp mobo, and its a very good specs for price
Did you get the windows key before you wiped it
Realises it's better than my $1000 PC
check the cpu support and throw a core 2 duo in it. I find these pc's at my recycling place and sell them for $40 a peice 2-4 gb ram and 250+gb hdd
David Smith only supports pentium and some celerons
My laptop is pretty old.. An. Vaio.. 3gn ram 500 gb 5200 rom hdd sata.. 1024 mb Nvidia 210m gpu.. Can it run *win 10? Edit: an core to duo 2.1 ghz and running win 7 currently
When I buy used computers, I usually try to aim for the ones that have Windows 7 product keys on them so I can actively use Windows 7, until January 2020, and then upgrade to Windows 10.
should use windows 10.
(cheque from microsoft when?)
Would the game Fate work on XP for this version?
Also would it work on Online gaming? Ex.Roblox.
Hey do you have any idea on how to fix one if you miswire it????
I cant find the info on how to plug in the harddrive and stuff and i allmost made it die tbh
I still have one of them!!
Very nice!
Isn't that ur old monitor from ur PC setup?
I have the same pc that's on the video!
I use it for my ftp server on my broadband network
escuse me but what form factor is the computer can it support a standard atx motherboard
It's a standard ATX form factor but the motherboard is mounted on a removable tray so you can't fit a "off the shelf" motherboard in this case without some modifications.
cheers dude even the poweresupply is that also atx or is it a propperity piece
No, it's a proprietary HP unit, but they are usually around 450-500w so you really don't have to change it.
EDIT: It was supposed to be "removable tray so you *_can't_* fit" but somehow it ended up as "removable tray so you *_can_* fit" but I fixed it now
Great machine for $5. That 8GB of DDR2 ram is worth more than $5.
Try and get a HP XW4600, socket 775. If you are lucky to find a xw6600 or xw8600 with dual socket 771.
Great servers, great for cheap gaming.
Remember remaking a xw8600 and slapping in a gtx 580. Good times.
i'd buy that for $5
I love that case😍
do u get to pick ur ads because I love the music ones
really the cooler?
8gb of ram was used in 2004 setups
yeah that may make that 4 gig of ram look over a decade old now
Saying that a workstation class PC is not a daily driver ignores the people who do use them that way(If I need to explain that a system with 18 ram slots and 2 cpus is a workstation class machine, so help me).
could you upgrade that CPU to any type of Core 2 Duo/Quad?
The original 775 systems were pentium 4 / Celeron only. It's in the age range for that, but we'd have to know the chipset.
That one does NOT support anything but the P4s and Celerons. No Core 2 Duo/Quads. It's an old 955x chipset.
The Xw4300 only supports Pentium 4/Celeron, but the Xw4600 does support Core 2 Duo/Quad cpu's
does support dual cores, but not core 2 based CPUs, Pentium D 960 is the best supported CPU unless it supports the Pentium Extreme Edition 955/965 as well (hoping the BIOS will work with them since the chipset supports them)
Carlos the bios will support the 950 or 960, but not the 955 or 965. But an old system like that isn't worth the $30 or so that the it would take to upgrade it. It would run much hotter, use a lot more power, and wouldn't perform enough better to warrant it.
I got a question: is Android a distribution of Linux or based off of Linux
AaronM Tech and Vlogs neither
Sean, it's based off the Linux kernel, please do your research.
Sir I live in Thailand how I can shop your computer please help me I need to shop OK
That's so cool
yesterday i found a pc with a e6750, ram worth 40 bucks, and a gigabyte case from 2010 for 20 bucks at salvation army
Since this is socket 775 and not 478, you could change the psu to an affordable and reliable unit from evga or corsair, throw a q6600 and something like a GT 1030 or something and you have yourself a pretty killer used pc for less than 150 $
It's likely an early 775 system. Those didn't support Core processors.
Aww too bad then :-/
its the chipset thats at limitation, if he can find out its above the i945 chipset he might be able to flash the bios with custom cpu id's to support it, however risk of bricking the pc
It's the 955x, but it doesn't support anything but the old P4s.
The Xw4300 workstation doesn't support either of those uppgrades, since it only supports P4's and Celeron's, and the PSU is a HP proprietary unit, however the Xw4600 does support C2Q's but it still has the same proprietary PSU as the Xw4300.
+1 for Linux :)
This has the potential to be a somewhat decent workstation if you were to throw in a cheap core 2 quad and a modern gpu
i have one in my living room right now lol with a older 5000x series 512mb ati graphics card its my media center for livingroom tv emulate a few consoles stream video and youtube mines dual dual core 2.8ghz
You can try replacing the cpu with better Core2Duo or maybe even 771 Xeon quads and have a good machine.
21ruiner You cant since the 775 is an older version of the socket that cant use core2duos/core2quads
Doom Frag There are 2 versions in the 775 socket?
21ruiner Yeah from what ive seen
No, there is only 1 775 socket, however what processors they support is based off the chipset and bios
daniel15092 Oh well my mistake then
Did you pronounce nvidia as "NAvidia"?
Yes. Yes he did.
you couldve gotten windows 7 back on that machine which is something i see you do all the time is just ignore that there is an installation of windows but you dont even grab the key which you can get from the system
He explained that he likes to use linux, there's no problem with that.
Hey can you help me with my pc build
the biggest problem I have with the old HP work stations is the video cards.... always seems to be less then 1GB and useless....
Hi,How to get them am in need of, but am from Tanzania in Africa.Can you please help me the direct contact that i can talk to you more.
That computer supports Pentium D "800 " series cpu's.
peppermintos 8 is a better os, it uses a newer version of mesa driver.
I had this computer with a core 2 duo n it
No you didn't That motherboard won't run a C2D processor.
cee128d he probably had the same kind of PC that looks just like this but some newer versions have the core 2 duo
You had the Xw4400/Xw4600 workstation then
Why this guy addicted to Ubuntu like the channel though
nice video :)
hehe I bought a hp xw6200 with two single core xeons equivelent to a Pentium d. 2GB of ddr2 ecc memory and an 80 GB hard drive also it had a nvs 450. lol
"but I'd have to pay for the license fee"
it's called digitalriver and daz loader
win xp is a good side os and win7 is great
Install xubuntu...install Octoprint...use it to run your 3D printer :)
lol my third computer has this quadro fx540, i say this card can play minecraft at lowest settings possible with lag
While i am watching your video i am rocking xw8600 - 12gb ram 2x processors 3.0ghz 8core 8threds i actualy paid 25$ for GT 740 xD. And PC was free in junk jard..Good Video mate Sub and Like. Btw i am playing Gta5 on high 47 fps all the time...
MrBarni GTA V at high settings running at 47 fps with a GT 740? Seems legit.
JewcyLambz You wont Belive but yes. Its not ultra settings its high settings so idk...
You shouldn't have to explain yourself for using Linux lol. It's a damn fine OS, and most computing devices on the planet run it for a reason.
5had0w5talk3r most don't even know what linux is though.
Most people don't know how an internal combustion engine works, but that neither removes merit from it revolutionising transportation nor does it change the fact that it's the most widespread method of power generation in human history.
5had0w5talk3r it's a damn shirty os for desktop use. Driver problems, VSync problems, using 200 commands to install anything, trying to get wireless working, no compatibility, shit garbage performance, etc.
I've had far less driver problems in my 6+ years of Linux than whenever I've had the displeasure of installing a fresh copy of Windows. In Linux I get a completely working desktop out of the box. Most of the times I don't get networking at all in Windows and have to deal with 800x600 resolution until I install a million drivers that will each require a restart.
I've not had any issues with V-Sync either, outside of some SiS chips but those guys have been dead for years anyway.
You've been able to install software through a GUI for well over a decade, quit being disingenuous. And even if you want to install through the terminal (which is actually way faster and more convenient), every package manager does it in a single command, so again, you're being disingenuous.
Wireless works out of the box on any wireless chip worth a damn (Atheros, Intel, etc.). The only company who occasionally gives any trouble is Broadcom and their wifi chips are terrible.
Linux is plenty compatible with any software written to run on it and the vast majority of users can be easily serviced by the software that has been written to run on it.
Performance on Linux is excellent, it wouldn't be the most widely used Supercomputer OS if it wasn't. Neither would companies like Disney and Pixar prefer it for all their animating and rendering. Neither would over 95% of the most visited websites on the planet run on it. In fact, when Microsoft ported their SQL server to Linux they immediately saw a performance boost before they even began optimising the code.
By all means run whatever OS makes you happy, but there's no need to be disingenuous about competing OSs to make yourself feel superior with your choice. Linux has its fair share of legitimate problems, as does Windows/Mac/FreeBSD/etc. Enjoy Windows more than any other OS? More power to you.
5had0w5talk3r I've probably been using Linux for longer than you knew what a computer was. I've tried countless distros, and I've never not had driver problems. Weather is was Linux forcing a 60hz vsync cap and yet somehow still getting screen tearing, Intel 3160 802.11ac dual band not functioning at all, having a largely unhelpful community that will just tell you to switch distros (which never helps. I've used almost all of them.) to my Ethernet simply cutting out for a few milliseconds and disconnecting all active connections every 30seconds, I've literally never not had problems in Linux. That's not even accounting for the lack of essential programs like msi afterburner, speedfan, CPU-z etc, the shit garbage gaming performance even on native OpenGL titles, and the need for countless commands and restarts
Windows on the other hand, can install in half an hour, and boot up with the proper wireless, graphics, Ethernet , usb, you name it drivers without restarting. I recently installed windows 10 on my gaming rig, and I installed all my programs at once using ninite, windows took care of my drivers, and I was playing games online with my friends without a single reboot.
Logitech gaming software *did* claim that it required a restart, but I simply told it to restart later and opened the program, and it all went smoothly.
10:13 "420p????" lol
Feck! What a find. Id pay $5 for the Hard Drive. You could make a monster early XP game PC with a good grafix card..
Sweet.
DONT PUT LINUX ON IT. Its made for XP so use XP 32 bit.
W7 is no good either.
You mean 64 bit since it is a 64 bit? Since it is a 64 bit system.
KEEP YOUR HAIR IT LOOKS NICE
install windows 7 or ubuntu and windows
Any computer with a Windows 7 Logo on it should be upgraded using Windows Upgrade Tool. Wasting such a free upgrade is a shame. Especially if the machine is as powerful as this one. But you are just using live ubuntu as a demonstration and maybe you will upgrade to Windows 10
That was definitely a heavy usage machine... 3.40 ghz, 8gb ram, dedicated graphics card...
You should use that as a folding@home machine!
They don't have any Folding Clients that will run on something that old any more. They just don't have the computing power to handle the modern Work Units.
for people who don't know you can use Windows 10 unactivated forever
I actually subbed Because you use Linux. :) I've been using Linux since 2014, and haven't regretted it once. I'm also a gamer, and while Linux doesn't have all the latest AAA titles, it does have a very good selection of amazing games to play. :) (I consider most AAA titles to be overrated/overhyped anyway, soo...)
6:00 mate, h8 to be that guy, but JUST CUT the crap...
Dude it's $5. How the hell do you bargain?
the gpu has DDR1 not GDDR3
ITS a good Budget pc
