Heyo everyone. This project has been a bit of a mess, it was a lot of fun to test and build....BUT I did leave the project for about a month due to time constraints. This means it was a bit of a unique experience to make the video, and to actually finish editing it. Here are some extra links for you: The Wallpaper: i.imgur.com/32y9U4R.png The Livestream from the PC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKKWgqqQhdeYg6c

@coreycarranza9706
@coreycarranza9706 18 күн бұрын
@@hobbypyromane2.05 Very late reply. But many newer CRT's are in the range of 480p. That would put KZbin in the range of P4 CPU decoding, if forcing h.264. Alternatively, the computer just has a graphics card that can properly decode modern KZbin (h264ify or not), and thus can play 720p/1080p without touching the Pentium 4. Your i3 6100 is new enough to do 1080, even with an iGPU and 4 GB of RAM; so i'm guessing you haven't installed an important driver, or a **tiny** chance of using an *ancient* graphics card.

@xaenon

I didn't take it to like the super-obsessive level we have today, but I did try to keep the cabling somewhat tidy when doing a new build or upgrading an older rig. Of course, back then, most folks didn't really go out of their way to show off the interior of their PCs, and certainly didn't go out of their ways to have lightshows. Though I'll admit I was happy when SATA became a thing. Those old flat IDE cables were not easy to keep 'tidy' with most AT and early ATX machines.

The way they make cases now are so nice and yet like my motherboard is high-end LGA 775 and the case is a lian li. I put this together out of like parts I could find and stuff on eBay My last computer had antec p180. I love that case. But there wasn't really good cable management The power supply was in a strange place The hard drives were in a strange place and a strange orientation and the typical length cables which by then were parallel ATA but wrapped still had trouble reaching everything so I bought a SATA raid card and yes it was software raid for the most part, but it actually supported all the new features like native command queuing and all that stuff and I put together my first volume over a terabyte which I thought was incredible using the four drives and raid 5. The SATA cabling was just so much better I still had to use PATA for boot but cases now you can hide the entire rats nest on the back and yeah without those weird retro future b450 motherboards it does look weird especially since I have modified in AIO cooler but the cable management by itself it's just so much better The only thing missing that I used to have was a blue cold cathode tube, in its place I have some Corsair LED fans not RGB since I don't have RGB headers but I did pick a nice color. Even the cooling is much better because you can line the entire front with fans in the entire top whereas back in the day you might have one of the back one of the front one at the top and even then rarely would you put one in the front. As weird as it is case design has improved by leaps and bounds it was not difficult to connect the USB 3 ports with a PCI express 1x USB 3 card. I want to build a max p4 on the socket before LGA 775 but I don't remember if any of them had PC Express.

XP just isn't targeted anymore as it is used by such a small percentage of users. 0.7% or thereabouts. It's completely different from the old days. 2004 browsing with internet explorer was like...open browser.....ten seconds later.....you now have 5 taskbars and the pornads won't stop popping up and every link redirects you to some other virus ridden site. Why is there a scantily clad woman dancing in the corner of my screen? Where is that sound coming from, what is this registration form. Yep time to nuke this install again.

Aha the fun days. Sound issue - try in another slot as PCI slots would share IRQ's with onboard I/O. I should dig out my SB live 5.1 platinum - now that would be overkill for this. Also XP you have some settings in device manager that help DMA and IRQ, do not recall which ones in device tree you need to change but go thru them and see what settings they have. But then this is the era of plug and pray, so you had to get your hands dirty. Oh disabling parallel port/serial etc that your not using in bios also helps with those IRQ's.

For most of those games you used the early P4 was really on it's last legs at that point. The latter P4s that came out had basically double the clock speed of the one you have there. The Pentium 4 HT came out around xmas 2002 and was just monumentally faster. Imagine if today you had a 10900K at like 4.8GHz and then Intel two years later releases something that does 9.6GHz because that was basically the equivalent performance boost on paper.

I remember my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS was somewhat of a nightmare on XP. The driver was buggy and I got frequent BSOD's, crackling audio and other weird behavior from it. I'm pretty sure the driver itself had a memory leak.

I'm about to embark on a socket 423 build myself, and enjoyed watching your video. Oddly enough, I was thinking if you haven't tried running this PC on Win98, you are probably not truly getting the best experience out of your CPU and motherboard. I'm planning on giving Win98 a go myself, and I intend to build the "ultimate" Win98 Pc (as my spare parts bin allows). Probably an Aureal Vortex 2 for sound, and I was planning on using an Asus Geforce graphics card that supported their "3d" glasses. A neat toy I've never had the chance to enjoy. Anyhow, I appreciate your work here and will learn from your experiences should I decide to make this a dual boot system. Cheers! 🥃

Man people really love to hate on the P4. I LOVED my P4--it was one of the best computers I've ever had, and I used it for a really long time, skipping the Core2 days until I finally got a 1st gen i7.

Vintage PC builds always intrigue me, but I can never get past the fact that they are old and slow when put under heavy load. Sometimes I need to compress 100GB into a 7zip archive, and there is no currently-existing amount of CPU power that makes this a convenient task -- to say nothing of CPUs from 20 years ago.

I have Windows XP system, with northwood 478 @3 ghz, 4 gb of crucial ram, ssd, Radeon HD 4650, and a bunch else. I joke it's "one of the fastest slow computers" . Of my 6 machines it's my favorite and I use it for modern tasks often instead of firing up a modern machine. It really is a sweet spot in tech

Hello. I just put together a pc with the 256mb Parhelia 8x agp card in it. The system is a socket 775 matx board with Intel 661 3.6 cpu, 2gb ddr 400, 500gb ssd, and Audigy 2 ZS on Windows XP SP3. I only had a little while to try it out. Call of Duty 1 GOTY Edition won’t start for lack of OpenGL and Farcry 1 has weird corruption. Didn’t notice artifacts. Anyway which Parhelia driver is the most reliable from your guys experiences? I used the newest driver off the Matrox website. I’m new to the Parhelia…is it just hit or miss? I’m still researching. Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if the GOTY edition is a recompile but CoD 1 should work with the Parhelia's OpenGL 1.3 support on the latest drivers; my regular Steam copy with a CD exe works on my Parhelia APVe. What chipset is your board? You may be missing some dependencies, or perhaps you have a device conflict. Far Cry 1 I have not gotten to run without bugged terrain no matter what I do, driver settings, game settings, OpenGL renderer instead od D3D9, GLDirect, WineD3D, nothing. Let me know if you figure something out! PS Sounds like a pretty sick build you have there, hope you can sort the issues with it and enjoy some 16x FAA gaming

Great to see someone making videos telling the story of the performance of "previous modern marvels". Had a Pentium 4 and loved its performance. Had a i5 and loved its performance. Had a i7 and loved its... you get the idéa. The system is made to sell us a new system, paired with new tech that is far from optimized. The performance dip of the change between Windows XP and 7 is proof of that. The new OS makes the old things slightly more difficult to keep running, through new processes and lack of efficiency due to more potential hardware innovation. Perhaps if we would write more efficient programs we would not need the constant upgrade.
