Should try getting hold of a socket 1366 motherboard, a 6 core xeon w3690 (Basically a core I7 980x or 990x with unlocked multiplier. So get a fat aio on there & fan pointed on the vrm on the motherboard.) 24 gb of ram via 6x4 gb ram sticks, and run the 3090ti, it should have support for cyberpunk 2077 by the look of other youtube videos.

[@DBLCreations]

Damn. you! I had these exact specs. Minus the GPU of course. Though, back in that day i had a Zalman GT1000 case with the red fans in the front. With an XFX 790 SLI Ultra Motherboard in it. Intel Core2Quad (i believe it was the Q9550.) I know the Q6600 was extremely popular as well back then btw! As for the GPU i know it was an XFX GT (Black edition) but i don't remember the number anymore to be honest. The CPU cooler was the same Zalman CPU cooler as you have in the video but it was black with a green light in it. All in all, it looked very cool. I had uv lights in it with blue and red lights and it would go on the sound/volume of the music! lastly, i had a 600 watt PSU from OCZ. I really loved that pc! And then, a bit later, i was diagnosed with leukemia and i pretty much stopped doing building my own pc's or as we would call it back in those days: "PC Tuning."

Those black slots are Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) slots. It is a 16-bit bus (AKA AT bus) backward compatible with the 8-bit bus (AKA PC bus). Which could support up to six devices and had operating speeds of Half-duplex 8MBps or 16MBps. Vying for a 32-bit bus, an extended version (EISA) was created; and while seeing some success in the server market it was later replaced by the emergence and adoption of the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, the predecessor of the PCIe bus we all know and love today.

AGP is waaaaaaaay too new for an ISA slot. ISA came out in 1981. PCI didn't come out until a decade later in 1992. AGP, yet another five years in 1997. To find an ISA slot and an AGP slot on the same mobo at all was extremely rare and usually spoke of industrial application.

I think they ran at a maximum of 8Mhz. They also had a mad connector called VESA Local Bus, which could get tacked on at the end of an ISA slot, it was kinda the predecessor to PCI coming in. That was around in the 386/486 days.

my first pc was actually using a q8300 and it was letting me play games up to far cry4 though not the best experience i had, had it for years so it made me all the more certain i wanted to use pc as my primary gaming platform eventially getting a 4th gen core from intel which i just recently upgraded from to a 5800x

I'm still rocking my 2009 PC with a X58 LGA 1366 platform. I run a Xeon 5675 cpu overclocked at 4.5ghz and a 1070Ti. A 1Tb 980 pro Nvme m.2 ssd mounted on PCie. 24gb of DDr3 ram running at 2100mhz. And 5 USB 3.2 outletz via PCie too. Don't throw away your old rigs! They can still rock today!

Just a few weeks ago I finally upgraded my 6 core system from 2010 to a hyperthreaded 6 core Ryzen 5 platform and it made me feel like I have been living in the fucking stone age. lol. New systems rape that old trash.

I don't know if you will get this but I have two Core 2 duo E7500 and I don't have any use for them let me know if you would like them also I am not 100% sure if they work or not.

[@johndodd3217]

From my experience trying to squeeze the last bit of performance from a core2 quad the main walls I hit is always memory controller related. Both capacity and speed.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

On my rig the limit was the 800 Corsair value ram, that wouldn't do more than 946. Still enough to go to 4.25 ghz with a 9× multiplier. If I take that out and run only the 1000er crucial I could go to 4.5 with my duo or 4.75 with my quad. Clocks neither will be able to reach without crazy voltage. The biggest mistake people nowadays make when they build a machine of that time is going with cheap G31 or G41 motherboards. Any decent P35, X38, P45 or X48 board should be able to do at least 450 FSB, and 500 aren't impossible either. At some point I have to try and see how high my board will go, 473 FSB was already stable, but the highest the ram would do.

[@alvarocalderon1362]

You should try this with a DDR3 Motherboard, it should help with the textures loading issue, also you could try modifying .ini files on the games that didn’t run so they wont check for newer instructions on the cpu. However all and all great video.

Those are epic processors! I still have 2 gaming rigs with a Q9550 which I use for games which don't need AVX. One is build on a motherboard type Asus P5K which has DDR2 and a 1050Ti and the other is a Dell Optiplex 3080 which has DDR3 and a low profile Nvidia T600. Both systems still perform very good in 1080P compared to my i5-9600k with a 3060 in it. The one with DDR3 does have less stutters in some games and also is used for video editing in Pinnacle studio and Adobe Premiere. Heck I prefere that system above my dual Xeon E5-2650V4 workstation which is much to loud and power hungry compared to the time advantage in rendering and video editing tasks. If you disable spectre & meltdown in the registry you will notice an improvement (security issue though).

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Got a X5460 on 4.1 GHz with a GTX 660 ti and 8 gigs DDR2 here. still a beast considering it's age. And now I have to check what the most modern game is that still runs on it.

[@westtell4]

Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) is the 16-bit internal bus of IBM PC/AT and similar computers based on the Intel 80286 and its immediate successors during the 1980s. The bus was (largely) backward compatible with the 8-bit bus of the 8088-based IBM PC, including the IBM PC/XT as well as IBM PC compatibles. Originally referred to as the PC bus (8-bit) or AT bus (16-bit), it was also termed I/O Channel by IBM. The ISA term was coined as a retronym by competing PC-clone manufacturers in the late 1980s or early 1990s as a reaction to IBM attempts to replace the AT-bus with its new and incompatible Micro Channel architecture. The 16-bit ISA bus was also used with 32-bit processors for several years. An attempt to extend it to 32 bits, called Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA), was not very successful, however. Later buses such as VESA Local Bus and PCI were used instead, often along with ISA slots on the same mainboard. Derivatives of the AT bus structure were and still are used in ATA/IDE, the PCMCIA standard, Compact Flash, the PC/104 bus, and internally within Super I/O chips.

I have an i7 4790 and just bought a rx 6600 graphics card. Will this cause problems?

[@kamen42]

Ooohhh, I remember being torn between Intel's q9550 and AMD's 1055t for my first custom build. I went with the 1055t. And I went with the same cooler. I still have then today. Are you saying it is not compatible with am5? I was hoping that since it was compatible with am4 and am4 coolers are compatible with am5, this would still work with am5.

No, it's not a good idea since the GeForce 256 was AGP, and the first GeForce PCIe was the GF 6800 Ultra if my memory serves me right.

[@BioToxin]

you should've pushed 4k, hilariously higher resolutions are a way to squeeze extra life out of an old system, I just retired my fx8350 this month after 12 years of gaming because the upper limit of my bottleneck was an r9 fury x, if I used my 5700xt @4k I might've been able to keep it going but it was time for an upgrade. but an old Quad core can still run w10 just fine.

[@MrCageinblood]

i think the issues is the AVX instruction sets , my 2008 Quad Core Xeon was doing just fine until Apex legends....I had to get a newer CPU Because New Games Want AVX capable CPUs ,I Believe Its the way Large games are compressed and stream in assets ,they require AVX for the CPU the crunch math more efficiently

The core 2 quad isn't so bad as what's presented here, the 3090ti might just be too new to work with a non uefi bios. I think rx 400 and nvidia 10 and maybe 20 series were last to work with it. I had a problem getting the radeon drivers to install properly with a similar system and an rx550, apparently the legacy bios was the cause.

It's because he was using 2GB of ram. The CPU was not the limiting factor.

The Core 2 Quad supports DDR3 and PCI Express 3.0. You should retest it on a newer motherboard.

[@adnanahmad4415]

Those black slots are ISA slots, Industries Standard Architecture, they were for cards like 33.6 K modem and sound cards, 8bits mostly

[@GLATRONIUM]

that slot is called ISA, it's in fact older than PCI, and was used for expansion, including graphics and sound cards, and also even for industrial equipment, which is the reason why is still used in some industries, which is also why some weird new motherboards have it even while supporting new cpus like intel ones
