Also a hackintosh install would be interesting on the Portal, if it still runs of course

My school still uses these for Windows 10. I told the school board and "we don't have enough money for new computers". Although we do have enough for an air conditioner in the teacher's lounge, principal office, and superintendent office. As well as new vending machines 4 in the hallways, 2 in lunch room, and 1 in the auditorium (not gym, the place where we go for announcements)). They charge $1.25 for M&Ms, $2.00 for sodas, $2.75 for a Hershey bar, and $2.50 for chips.
By the way, the computers were originally donated and only 9 of them were bought with fundraisers. We have 15 in total in the library.
I asked if there was a way we could do a fundraiser for newer computers, and was told that it'd be just too expensive...
Waffles N Catsup what school
@@musicandmore6334 I don't know if I want to tell you or not. I still go to this school, I'll just tell you it's in New York. Sorry, I just don't know if I should tell you exactly where or not.

It's a small school in a rural town. Not the city.
If you could convince them to convert them to Neverware, you'll probably save some students from ripping their eyes out

Hi, I have a few subjects suggestions for this channel
-Purble Place (an obscure vista game)
-music and photos that used to come for free with Windows
-wordart feature, not only the well-known 97 Rainbow version, but also the ones that came before and after (the current one has all the old features plus glow bevel and reflection)
I know this is like the fourth time I post this comment but I'd be very interested in these subjects, given this channel talks about obscure tech products, and that is a rare and fascinating subject
Purble place is also on windows 7
@@SenninJeiter Yes, I meant it came from vista
(there was one vista-only game, though, Inkball, but it might have existed on XP tablets)
Oh yes, the sample music. I actually became a fan Mr Scruff's work after hearing Kalimba in Windows 7. I now have all of his albums.
Oh man purple place, played it on my first laptop with Windows 7, oh man, good times

There's a version of 4074 called 'The Way It Was Meant To Be' that resolves some issues from 4074. That might fix issues with the Profile.
Also, there is one called Sigma 3.0, released a few years ago on a techvortal.pl forum, which works great.

I'd like an All-In-One that's modular.
Yeah, it'd be a bit heavy and large, but it'd be nice to have the entire computer in one box.
i love watching your videos. makes me feel smart
the mesa drivers the come with ubuntu and lubuntu work great on pretty much any form of intel graphics, it's only nvidia and amd graphics that u actually need to bother installing drivers for
Nvidia yes, but AMD now have open source drivers for the GCN series and above. And there's an open source project for earlier cards too. The old closed source drivers aren't support any more by AMD, though they do have closed source drivers based on the AMDGPU open source project if you need them.
The open source graphics drivers still detect the correct display properties, so the proprietary drivers are only needed to get the full power out of the graphics card. Windows never detects the correct display properties without the drivers.
depends, on my nvidia card if i use the HDMI out it doesn't detect the correct properties without the driver on linux
not necessarily, im using the default nvidia driver on my arch system and it works just as good as the official one, then again i am on an older card. even able to get away with light gaming (mostly emulation)

To install video drivers, you need to open the device manager program, open the video controller section, select the video driver's folder that has all the files and then hit Update Driver. The drivers will install without needing to use the EXE that Intel provides.

Great video as always
That longhorn version you showed off in this vid. Makes me want that ui style on current and future windows os.
Looks nice! I think I even saw Longhorn run on a real PC back in 2007 haha :D
I'm not sure if this has already been said, but Linux probably did have the proper graphics drivers for that machine. It has multiple drivers built into the kernel, so it supports a lot of hardware out of the box. The downside is that installing missing drivers can be really *really* difficult, so sometimes it's easier to try different distros that might have better drivers for your machine. Great video btw!
that bit where you were using it as a monitor totally fooled me lol
If you dual boot HM Linux with Windows XP, you get the best of both worlds!
I LOVE UR CHANNEL!
Been using Lubuntu on my Ryzen 3 PC for almost 2 years now and even use it for my web dev job and it works perfectly fine. It's great if you want to maximize the limited resources of your computer.

Limited in motherboard upgrades is true. But are there any possible options? I’ve seen someone run XP on a Wii with some other motherboard in it. Granted those specs were even weaker, but it ran on such a tiny platform. I mean is there anything? This is just an uneducated guess, but, would any laptop boards work?
now it's time to kick things up a notch and install Haiku OS
When you buy a computer to use it as your monitor for your other computer.
You got me there with portal 2 :d
Are Ubuntu and Lubuntu really different distros? If a distro is a sub-category of the GNU operating system, then Ubuntu's "flavours", as they call them, should be a further sub-category. I mean, all it does is change the desktop environment, you could do it on a regular Ubuntu installation by installing a few packages.
I tried LXDE on Ubuntu and it idled at around 800mb, stock Lubuntu idles at around 100-200mb so I guess they are kind of different. Unless you go really deep in to cutting it down, but by that point it really isn't stock Ubuntu anymore.
Ubuntu is weird that way.
I'd count them as the same. Same goes for Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu Mate IMHO....but considering Ubuntu is one of the most derived distros out there...it's hard to say.
They're different distros, technically. Ubuntu is the base, all ubuntu flavours uses base ubuntu and build on top of it. Teams linked to each other but they have a bit freedom. LTS support time are different and supported hardware can change. For example Ubuntu does not support 32bit (unless you install it with base install and build on top of it) but Lubuntu does etc... Basicly they're a big really strange family.
@@LloydLynx don't tell me that you've installed lxde on top of unity/gnome Ubuntu and call it a day
Flavors of Ubuntu are really similar, biggest difference is usually the desktop environment. This is why Lubuntu devs refer to their system as "Ubuntu + LXDE". IMO you should think of them as the same OS with different DE and included software.
For the next odd obscure computer you review try AmigaOS. It would be nice.
I still say Windows Media Center Edition (WMC) would be dope on it, it's XP era so it should work fine
Yeah! I would love to see him running it on that Profile!!!
I Don't think you can actually install media center edition, it was preinstalled only if i remember correctly.
@@wordart_guian Oh, that's really sad :(
@@wordart_guian You can get the OS from different sources on the internet.

1:07 Is that the Crystal Dream II demo on the screen there? Or just a generic "cube and prism" screensaver of some sort?
I am just amazed with win 10 all together. I purchased a used dell D620 laptop for 80 bucks on ebay once which comes with Core 2 Duo windows xp, which I decided to upgrade from xp to windows 10, which suprisingly perform pretty well, and in fact somewhat better than the XP that it originally comes with. I used to be a win 7 fan, but after this experience, I just decided to give win 10 more love, especially when it comes to older machine
I just want more people to play Club Penguin with.
@The Science Elf what is the music from your "The Rais and Fall of Java" video and where did you find background music for your videos?
I scanned that QR code....
I would have loved to see you try to play Portal on Lubuntu on it. Sort of as a comparison between the Windows XP and Linux driver performance
I had a green line on my second monitor screen but it went away ever since I watched your first Gateway video.

Getting the drivers right is extremely tricky on installing linux on old hardware, but once figured out it runs decently.
Linux seriously needs a better driver model.
An OS upgrade? This will maybe be interesting...
It looks like a cashier register lol
5:48 You can clearly see that Linux is using the proper driver for your GPU, including (probably*) graphics acceleration.
(I'm saying probably here because the screen only shows the i915 kernel module being loaded. The libGL(Mesa) also needs to bre installed and have support for this GPU compiled in, but that's very likely.)
Windows 8 was the author of my nightmares
overall performance on Windows 8/10 can be greatly improved by simply tweaking a couple system files, as for the graphic driver there are several custom drivers online, IF you are not willing to look/try them up by hand you can use "Snappy Driver Installer" free suite to automate the process.
With that method (plus a patch to bypass NX bit restriction in the installer files) I was able to install W10 enterprise 32 bit on a P478 Celeron based system from 2003 @ 2.8GHz. and 1GB DDR RAM sporting an intel graphics manger 82815!!!!
I have an old AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ pc with 3 gb ram and a gtx 285 with a BIOS date from 2006 and I actually have it set up to dual-boot Windows 10 and Windows XP and both work just fine.
I could be wrong but I think there is a PCMCIA external GPU adapter, mount, think on a Chinese site. Can you do a follow up using that and a cheap GPU like the GT 1030 or RX 550.
You could try Windows 10 S. I don't actually know if there is any way to put this on as a non OEM install though.
Well you can say You got best of both worlds
I'm not sorry

I tried the same driver in Windows 8 and 10 on an old dell latitude laptop and after running the driver in XP compatibility mode it worked!!!

Is this computer an intel pentium 4 as a cpu processor? I have an old alienware area 51-m 766 with a pentium 4 (pre-hyperthreading) so it always throws up an error that "your pc needs to restart". Is you machine the hyperthreading pentium 4? Because The hyperthreading pentium 4 can install windows 8/10 just fine from what I ahve researched

Make a hackintosh in the next video with this computer and try an older version of OSX, that will be cool!
This is going to be an interesting thing to do. I have an old Mac OS X 10.4.8 hackintosh ISO that is surprisingly compatible with a lot of old hardware, that ISO only require a processor with SSE3 instruction set
There's a way to install Windows XP era drivers on windows 10. It's interesting.
I wished you would have connected the profile to the internet and allowed Windows 10 to check for updates. Seeing if a graphics driver is available from the Microsoft Update Catalogue.
