Ultimate Windows XP Gaming Rig?
My socket 939 SLI machine died so I set out to build a fast Windows XP machine, just for gaming with, not tinkering.
In this Video we kit out a machine with 2 GeForce 8800GT's
A Core 2 Quad CPU and some SLI ready RAM!

Nice build. Should be a great XP workhorse. Back in the day I had a gaming beast based on Intel Qx9650, and SLI 8800 GTS 512. I am annoyed that I gave away one of those GPUs and have only one now.

I just finished building my own ultra windows xp build, I7 4790s, 4 gigs or rams, 500 ssd and 980 ti, so happy with it performance

@kuidan

The speed increase on the higher resolution is from the bottleneck being taken off the cpu.

@MrModaman

This does look very nice. But SLIcan be pretty funky at times. I just went with a newer gpu instead. A GTX 750 ti with 2 gb vram. With a C2D extreme, it eats up XP games like they're candy.

@allxtend4005

I am so trigered how the cou fans point up and are very close to a wall.

@retroanderson

I recently built a Z77 i73770 980ti rig. Strangely easy build with XP and W10 lol

Tip: ultimate= 4790K,4gb2400mhz,980ti,120gb-ssd.

@MrAnimeMilitary

You should install and play F.E.A.R. on that Windows XP build.

@Vile-Flesh

I can't wait to do a socket 775 SLI build. I have a mountain of shit I've been gathering including two 9800GT reference cards, hopefully they work. I just need enough time to myself to build it proper.

@7MBoosted

I find that an external hard drive works really well for archival data like motherboard drivers, graphics drivers, xp service pack updates, and GoG installers. Also using Snappy Driver Installer Origin for generic driver installation is a no brainer when building retro systems.

@RiggityWRECKED

You should install a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card so you can get EAX compatibility.

Nice machine great content! I have a QX9650 teamed with GTX 970 (a bit of overkill) plays all the old fps games in FHD res.

@whatdidyouexpect321

Overpowered half life machine

@prla5400

I think you need to work on the intro, not to sound rude but its like earrape. edit: when the 66mhz flash comes

@jonsmith5087

yeah always thorw a ssd in nowadays - so cheap 128gb for around $10usd - when testing a loading things u just want it done asap

@paladingeorge6098

Nice little retro PC! However...the modern RGB and case kinda ruin the retro aesthetic, lol. Though it sounds like reliability is more the concern for you. Just be prepared to have those old boards serviced at some point, they may need to be recapped in the near future. Some of the legacy equipment we use at work that still run on XP needed to be recapped.
