@coreycarranza970618 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.

Old PC with any cable management seems odd
@xaenon3 жыл бұрын
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.
@thej37992 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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

Windows XP Home SP1a is pretty good. The WiFi support is still pretty primitive however. I've been using it more recently with my retro rigs. Never throw out old laptop CD.

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

My first Intel CPU ran at 3 GHz because I wanted to use windows (XP) and the best way to do that is a system with a bunch of spare clock cycles

Metal Gear Solid on the PC was the first game I ever pirated once I found out you could download more than just music. It took a few days to download it over 56k, and once it was done, there was no audio.

I see Matrox.... RIP, the first graphics card I bought with my own money was the Matrox G400. I remember when we heard rumors of the Matrox G800

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.

Hey man; back in the day we had P4s, they cost a lot new and we were grateful! ;P
