    Back in January I attempted to install a GPU in the 98 PC, and found out that the card got damaged during shipping. Well recently, a viewer generously donated another GPU! So let's try to install it, shall we?

      I don't think the xp 64 bit had proper directX drivers at all. A friend tried to set it up years ago and got nothing but a headache and homebrew drivers that never worked. He was in love with xp and refused to use newer windows versions, even though he spent most of his time trying to use those stupid, unofficial 13-gig "driver packs"

    I would definitely recommend going with an SSD rather than a CF or SD card in this case. NTFS (or any journaling file system) will eat through SD and CF cards rather quickly. Also there's the page file that would need to be taken into account. Awesome video and I'd definitely be interested in both a video on Kolibri and XP x64 and XP IA-64. :)

    I used to have a working FX 5200, and Longhorn builds will usually natively have the GPU drivers installed, aero on 4074 works but can be sluggish, some newer builds have better performance. The FX 5200 is one of the better cards for easy aero on Longhorn.

    Quick recap recreation:

    You should get an IDE to SD adapter since SD cards are quite more common and are quite inexpensive than compact flash cards. Not only that, most modern SD cards have decent speeds that it would max out the old ancient IDE ATA interface and as said cheaper to get than buying an SSD and trying to use an IDE to SATA adapter.

    The fun thing about SSDs is that they use the SATA interface, like anything from the past 15 years. It's a shame the windows 98 pc doesn't have SATA but even with an adapter, it's amazing how you can fit the latest hardware and the fastest possible drives (excluding NVMe of course) in a pc that was made years ago

    Hey, Michael! New subscriber here. I thoroughly enjoy your videos; they have become almost a sort of ASMR thing for me - the perfect ambient noise for my day-to-day living (I promise I mean that in the absolute best way possible, but FYI, the background jazz music isn’t helping your cause).
    Among others, I saw your brief nod to Windows XP 64-bit in this particular video, and it made me wonder if you’d covered that operating system before, only to realize you HAVEN’T! I’d LOVE a full-fledged video of the XP 64-bit development (and all the included heartache) on your behalf - there was a time fairly recently in which that was my daily driver OS.
    I know there’s a lot of bad blood surrounding XP 64-bit, but I’d really enjoy your showcase of that misapplied anomaly of a Windows release. Just some food for thought.

    I wish you would show MORE of the issues you come across. I’m a huge fan of Druaga1, and your videos you do that are more loose and less scripted I really enjoy. You’re actually really funny but many videos are super professional and more dry. Still interesting, but I try to find these videos where stuff goes wrong! Those are the most fun to watch lol 😂
    So please, love your channel Michael - Please show the issues and failures and the like. This video, and the special clapper video where you destroyed the knockoff version then duct taped it I was dying laughing 😂

    Man, I love this stuff..brings back so much. My first laptop was a.. well.. kinda forgot the manufacturer. It was a odd ball I bought off a friend of mine... I remember it had a single core Intel Celeron M, 512MB DDR2 RAM, and S3 Graphics! It came with Windows XP installed.. I later upgraded it to Vista to find it didn't look as nice as other computers with Vista or 7 installed with the transparency and all.. the 64MB of VRam just couldn't do it. Tried registry edits and everything to no avail. Crazy stuff.. but I did learn that Ubuntu will allow transparency on ANYTHING... but this "Extended Life Linux" OS I got ahold of that claimed to be able to make any old computer carry out day to day functions really made the most of that system.. still wasn't enough for the larger Halo:CE maps. Haha

      The fact that Micheal had install errors installing both the driver and Vista from CD suggests that the drive has issues. So he did the correct thing imho and tried another drive.

  • @dw_2005
    @dw_2005 Před 3 lety +1

    Thank God you finally upgraded the gpu!!! If you ever wondered why the integrated gpu caused so many problems such as low res, low colour depth images or things not displaying properly, that's because the VESA compatibility in the integrated gpu is crap!!! To put it simply, VESA compatibility allows an OS to run at resolutions higher than VGA res without graphics drivers installed. By the year 2000 most GPUs where compatible with VESA 3.0. With VESA 3 this is how you are able to see the typical Windows 7 boot screen, the "Windows is loading files.." text in higher 1024x768 res instead of 80x25 text mode and also when you boot into Windows XP or newer with no Graphics Drivers, you can run in 800x600 and higher in 16 or 32bit colour depth. Intel's graphics however where stuck on VESA 2.0 until the GMA 950 which only allows 640x480 in 4bit (16 colours) colour depth without dedicated graphics drivers. If it was up to me I would have changed the GPU on day 1 of having that PC for better compatability!! By the way your channel is awesome!!!!

    Are you planning on doing dual or even triple boot with XP on this PC? Could be a good use for that SSD. Too bad neither of those OS-s use TRIM, but it's a throwaway SSD so it's no big deal. Upgrading RAM to 1GB could be pretty sweet too.

  • @BilisNegra
    @BilisNegra Před 3 lety

    Yes, definitely an SSD in the 98 PC is something we want to see, even if obviously won't run at its full speed by any means. The flash card solution is only OK for older OS like Win 9x, newer ones make a lot more read/write operations, severely reducing the lifespan of the card. Very satisfying to see Aero running on a PC which doesn't even have a proper (typically AGP at its time, later PCIe) graphics expansion slot on it, I wasn't really sure whether any PCI cards existed that were good enough for that.

    Hey Michael! I would recommend that you install the monitor's driver, because this is a 75hz model right? The driver includes the driver .inf file and a color profile. Maybe this would be helpful and maybe it looks nicer on camera then ( i don't know much about video recording, but i think it's helpful. (I use a similar monitor for my Vista PC project, so i know that there is a driver for that)

    • @ikbintom
      @ikbintom Před 3 lety

      75 Hz might seem better, but I don't think it is. I would keep the monitor at 60 Hz, because it will look just as fine while being less cpu and gpu heavy. Also - I think - videos in 30 or 60 Hz might look better if your monitor is actually 60 Hz instead of 75 Hz
