Lol.. As Jcsy says, I bet Windows 7 will run even better with ya rigs. As the kernel are tweaked and run better then vista. There were a video shown one guy running Windows 7 on a Pentium 2 computer.

I know coz I tried Win7 on my HP Mini Note. It was awesome. Nice eye candy like Vista but fast like XP. I lazy to reinstall everything again once the beta time is up though. So I went with Vista for this rig. I just set it up to run on extra 1gb Ready Boost, everything's nice so far. Mebe later when windows gets all cluttered up it will slowdown but for now on fresh install everything's ok.

BETA time is 1 year and im sure by then, u would have formatted ur PC once again coz... 1 year for windows is quite long without format

lol !!

well it works for me, i've been thru i think about a year plus without reinstalling xp on my rig. just need consistent maintainance of the windows
probably the next time i format will be for windows 7

I never simply format my pcs coz I take care of my windows. N also coz I hate having to call MS n jump tru all those hoops for reactivation.

@ianho ,the Vista your have installed in just pure OS only? No other applications applied?

When I took that screenshot it was pure OS + chipset drivers.

Finally! I replace my P4 3.2 to P4 3.4 EE . I am glad to say my hunt is over

Mind to pm how much u grab that "Jaded babe"?

this is one scary beast for s478, thumbs up~! My salutations 2 u, bro...

RM500! thats a quaddie core!!

lol but old skool supporters never cease 2 exist

upgrade to the max liao , cant go further:D

Suddenly think to upgrade OCZ PC4000 500MHz RAM BTW i think my rig is better now

Why OCZ 500MHz?Simply get a Hynix chip based RAM to do the job man. Another cheaper solution.You can run 3D mark to justify how much it's faster compare to your previous 3.2E.

@llutephie
OMG! Finally u found the beast? What a nice hunt down man.. Btw, is it a ES version? Haha.. 500 eh.. Price of a quaddie!

Btw, if a year ago u asked me, i do have what u need. My Patriot PDP Extreme PC4200. 533mhz by default, no sweat of doing DDR600.

Any benchmark showdown?

Wow, long time no drop by and I saw someone post with a P4EE for socket 478.


@llutephie
I guess your rig is the beast amongst all of us here.

Hehe. Since I'm in a nostalgic fever these past few days. I went to my storeroom, dug out another rig from a deep dark corner n revived another dinosaur. This 1 really dinosaur. P4 1.7ghz, 256mb ram and a big huge 20gb HDD.

@ianho,i do have the same rig as yours but it's a S423 based. It's still working strong since year September 2001.
