Re: Windows 10 on Core2Duo

I haven't seen any problems with Core 2 and Win10. 4GB is a bit tight but it's adequate for web, email, and a basic office suite. You want an SSD though and a discrete GPU with Win10 drivers, so you aren't sharing system RAM and you aren't on video drivers meant for Vista as the IGP would be. and …
Re: Most powerful Mainboard with Floppy + IDE
Posted on Yesterday, 05:18
Is there a reason you need it built into a motherboard? You can get a PCIe 1x IDE adapter for under $25 USD. For floppies, 3.5" USB floppy drives are fine, but if you are concerned, there are USB to floppy board you'd then connect a known quality drive to to read the disks. 5 1/4" floppy adapters …

Just for my understanding, why do you need an IDE port in such a recent computer? To transfer files easily to old HDDs? For testing all the ide drive that i have and for install, copy file from ide drive coming from a new computer that will arrive,. i have used external usb cradle, but the last …

ASRock Fatality Professional P67: https://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/fatal1ty%20p67%20professional/ Would be nice to put this against my HP Z400 Xeon workstation, which has floppy but no IDE.

There is a post here on Vogons but it is very old, could you tell me the fastest mainboard that can support IDE disks and Floppy drives under Win10? Thanks

So would a card like the Asus P5L2D be good as a support computer, internet consultation, CD burning, etc? and would the Floppy disk and IDE channels of this card (which has the 945 chipset) work well on win10 even though technically I don't think it has the drivers for these components?

They gave me a Pentium4 and the motherboard is an Asus P5LD2-SE, looking for information on this card I discovered that it can mount up to the Core2Duo E6700. Unfortunately my revision is 1.0 so I can't mount it. But it reminded me of a possible support computer for retrocomputers. Since this card ( …

Which kind of PentiumMMX you have installed? This computer does not support dual voltage (even if i think before you cook a PentiumMMX at 3,3 v you can gone...). Second: 99% the bios allow only 8GB limit size.
Re: Pentium 60/66 are DOS Only?
Posted on 2024-05-01, 16:36
I think a "reasoned" answer doesn't exist. If you look at the correct period (my Pentium60 is from 1993) it is strictly DOS+win3.11 and also by a fair margin on win95. Win95 would probably also work well as you said, but having already another computer ranging from P75 to P200 (with the possibility …
