Today I am going to run Windows 11 on a Pentium 4. That idea doesn't sound possible at first, but when you look at it from a different angle, the capabilities of the Pentium 4 become apparent...
Specifications:
Motherboard - ASUS P5Q Premium
CPU - Pentium 4 661 3.6GHz (Cedar Mill)
GPU - ATI Radeon HD 5870
RAM - Samsung M378T5663QZ3-CF7 DDR2 (4x2GB)
HDD - Seagate ST-3250624AS (250GB)
DVD - ASUS DRW-24D5MT
PSU - A decommissioned AeroCool 500W (lost its capacity in just 2 years, probably ~400W now)

school computers be like:
Running on old cpu but windows 10
TRUE
My school pc
My old school literally had computers with Core 2 Duo E4600, 2gb ddr2 and 80gb hdd. The Core 2 processors were good back then and I think the hdd slowed the system down more than the cpu but still really week even for a school computer.
@@ronnie3626 what OS did they run?
Probably, the Microsoft requirements are set to avoid the huge shitstorm that happened with "Windows Vista Capable" PCs, with people complaining about performance and make Windows Vista and Microsoft look bad. Microsoft now splits users in two categories:
1. The ones who have a supported PC;
2. The ones who know what they are doing.
Also OEM fault for slapping 'Vista Capable' stickers on nearly every hardware, including those are desktop sold as XP, but is able to upgrade to Vista.
Some Windows 11-supported PCs are slower than 'unsupported'
@@ivancomp_inside Like all of those shitty $300 laptops *THEY STILL SELL IN 2023* with slow dual core Celerons and Pentiums that run at 1.0 GHz. and 2/4 GB of RAM.
It should be a crime to even make those anymore.
I've been using Windows 11 with my i7 4770k, 16GB RAM and GTX 1060 build since Windows 11 came out and surprisingly my experience is much better than when I was on Windows 10. My DPC latency is much better and games are more smooth. I used Rufus to bypass the TPM and secure boot requirements.
Back in the day I had a gaming computer with Vista on it an it worked absolutely flawlessly.
The people who complained about Vista were running it on a potato 🥔.
In the Wikipedia article about Pentium 4, the "all support" line means, that _all_ CPUs in one table support certain instruction sets as a baseline, but does not mean, as if neither of them didn't support the NX bit.
As I checked out the article today, Intel Pentium 4 model 506, launched in June 2005, is listed as one of the earliest with Intel 64 technology and the Execute Disable Bit.
The Prescott 90nm table contains three other models with those features.
Seeing that switch from non hd to hd screen is just so satisfying
Congrats on your new p4 win11 build, it is absolutely amazing ❤

@@Mreja83He's probably saying "Amazing build!" for even getting a Pentium 4 to run Windows 11, it would be too underpowered to do anything on it.
@@myk1_sp probably
"A TPM Module, which I'm not going to use" Just out of spite of Win11. lmao. Loved that.
It would have been a TPM 1.2; Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0, so it wouldn't have worked regardless.
Petty sure it was TPM 1.2 (or perhaps lower) because TPM 2.0 wasn't released until 2014. (Based on my research)

one at Dish has said,
This is so cool. I grew up on P4 machines, so seeing it run Windows 11 is breathtaking, even if it's far better than anything my family had as a kid!
and now you can have a Pentium 4 computer running windows 11.🤣
Me too I grew up with pentium 4 cpu but in these time we get these computer it like exciting ..🎉🎉 but now it i9 plus lot of things but in time it becomes slow in future but us in for pentium 4 processor we are exciting with it but now when we see now these prices for today the price of pentium 4 in earlier was expensive but if now we buy now computer now we get the best of best computer with more exciting too the same feeling I get if I was in future for i9 I will regret too because that why I get angry with these I feel I lose continue lose money lot because technology is fast growth in every 5 years PC is growing in generation cpu are growth up it feel like lose money lot in technology.
I posted a video doing this too. Your method was much better, where you are checking instruction sets. I just tried 64 bit chips until I found one that worked. Your video is extremely more informational too. Excellent work!!
Here is a suggestion: Dual boot as many of version of Microsoft windows system as you can (starting windows 11 then going down)
It's called [something]boot, like tri-boot (bad name)
I once quintuple-booted windows xp, vista, 7, 10, and 11. It took me ages since the hardware was so slow

Hay man. Just wanted to say I love the voice over. I've seen people cover 1980s and 1990s computer tech, but it is rare to find a channel that covers 2000s computer tech.
Power of time ig. It’s only a matter time before we see early 2010s tech nostalgia videos? (we’re gonna be old by then:P)
As a piece of advice, you can always use just 4 pins for processor power on motherboards with 8 pin sockets. The motherboard wouldn't know since the wires on the 8 pin socket connect together. You're still bound to the power constraint of a single 4 pin cable though.
27:15... Yep. I had the P5Q PRO with the same gimmick. It is meant to improve performance in drives like the Western Digital "Raptor" drives that natively supported SATA. In XP you needed the floppy to install the needed drivers.
i LOVE this video! It's in the style of an Druaga1 video! A style hard to replicate, but when done right, can make a 5 hour computer adventure bareable!
i thought something seemed familiar! now i guess i know what it was
i miss druaga1
less weed
I agree, it also allows me to strip naked (bearable, not bareable)
Only missing the doubtfull SSDs, lmao
I wasn't born in that era of computers, but seeing people get nostalgic makes me feel something to the hardware of that time. Great video as always. Thank you for making content.
I was born around DDR was used ddr2 was my childhood ram so does DDR3 DDR4 is when I was leaving childhood to adulthood. My first was DDR3 and 2nd was DDR4. DDR5 will be my next build.
You didn't miss anything. Pentium 4's were horrible monstrosities that shouldn't have existed.
The Netburst architecture was so bad that the Pentium 4 didn't overtake the Pentium III-S 1400 until it reached 1700 MHz. My dual PIII-S 1400 can keep up with a Pentium 4 HT 2800 in everything but memory bandwidth.
I avoided the entire Pentium 4 era and went with AMD instead. Didn't go back to Intel until the Core 2 came out in 2006/2007.
I worked as a IT technician in the Windows 9x era. It is not something i look back at with any nostalgia at all. Blues screens, general unknown hang situations, dodgy drivers, always insufficient RAM and sloooow hard drives. Spent a lot of time waiting for something to eventually and hopefully finish. Everything changed with Windows 2k/XP and SSD's. Made every one's life SO much better...
I was at college when the P4 came around, and i have to say it was the worst era for me, They processors just get hot for the sake of it, no matter how many fans it had in. I used a basic P4 system for windows 2003 server, for my MCP lab stuff. All it was doing was hosting Active directory, and the fans were going 100mph!
@@JFinnerud I remember back in the day whenever I had to work on a Windows 9x box, I'd call them "all night cookouts" because you'd literally be there all night working on the machine.
Remember the terrible Defrag program that would restart every time something wrote anything to the disk? And it'd take like 4 hours to get past even 10%.
When Windows ME came out, you could copy the system utilities back to a 98 machine, the ME defragger was FAR better, one of the few things good about that terrible OS.
You can't dislike this man's videos. As a content creator myself i know how hard is to make a video. And i can say of how the complexity of this video is i can only apreciate the effort that he is making to record and edit that video!
Yes the higher!
@DarkestAngel Me to LOL
I suspect the other SATA ports are not totally proprietary but they connect to an extra chip. Using the proper chip preinstall drivers might make them bootable. Love your hacky videos, I do stuff like this myself, it's so much fun 😁
They were used for quick disconnect SATA-E(xternal) devices so you could quick disconnect hard drives to move big data. usb thumb drives were not big enough to be a primary choice.
"back in my day" you always checked the silkscreen on the board and attached the devices to sata-1 then 2 then 3 etc
The GPU should support HW video decoding for H264. You need to install an extension to force browser to use this codec instead of VP9 for CZcams. In theory this will allow to play up to 1080p videos without problems.
The name is "h264ify"
everybody tests youtube with vp9 on old hardware, I don't really see the point of that, at least until youtube stops supporting h264.
In theory. In practice, that cpu will ruin that too. I had a Pentium 4 524, and a 631. With a GTX 650. That gpu served me well as a hand me down. Back in 2014 everything was h264. It still could not play 720p video. The moment I got a core 2 the CPU usage went to 2%. Even with full gpu acceleration it could not play video.
@@renyn21 what? Why would you use a gtx card with any pentium 4
@@archux_ I was given a good offer from a friend that got a new gpu. I used it with the system I had until I could change the rest. I was supposed to get an hd5450 just so games would launch. Good thing I didn't.
Awesome video! I learned some new stuff about CPU instructions. Thank you for the solid and clear explanations.
With the P4 640 HT, I was able to boot only W10 32bit and I really feel your pain trying to get this work. Nice to see this refresh boots W11, even tho these were terrible chips. Back in time, AMD got much better processors, Intel really bruteforces these old Pentiums, like they do now with the i9s. From what I saw, the first able processor to run W11 is Athlon 64 X2 3600+, that was released even a year before this one.
Great vid! Not only it was really fun in that druaga1 style, but you made it really informative as well, with the instructions explanations!
I miss druaga1, where is he now?
I love this kind of videos with hardware, software and interesting experiments and facts. Cool to see that it works, the short instruction sets explanation was interesting to me, never really thought about it for years. Keep it up!
This was a good and cool video, and I am honestly surprised you managed to get a Pentium 4 working on Windows 11.
I love how many USBs are on that motherboard. all motherboards should come with that many USBs
also FOUR LAN ports...
@@minbcraft2yea what if you want to connect it to a NAS

Damn, Microsoft probably looking at this like:
*Dammit, we wanted to scam people into buying our new surface pros, but they found the way around it*
This style of video is exactly what I wanted! Love the editing too, you really made me laugh with this one
TPM is considered useful, but for corporative systems, and home system is practically useless, has a different enviorement, with this video confirmed who windows 11 runs excellent with almost cpus, ram and hard disks
Thanks for showing this video, really is very informative
It's only useful for pros and servers. TPM will hold API keys for you, but for anything else, it's useless. You're right.
It was specifically inflated so that you had to buy a new machine.
Same shit happened with Vista. Great stepping stone, but hated because of how bad it was, due to the system being based of a server release.
Best Windows 11 retro-install so far. Subscribed.
Mad respect for getting this to work!
Whenever I hear music from Geometry Dash, I know you know this game. And I appreciate it. Also nice build! Love this kind of videos, I myself build computers, newer or older ones. You deserve more subs!
We also have to appreciate the fact that most of the music comes from levels none of us will ever beat
The limits are the secure boot and the other special requirements
But they can be bypassed in the registry
What I never understood was why Microsoft doesn't just put in an option to bypass these requirements in the setup instead of requiring people to go into the registry and make changes and then do the setup again
I remember with a 286 laptop that only had 2 megabytes of memory that I upgraded from 1 MB, and Microsoft told me there was no possible way I could get Windows 95 to run on a 286 and that the minimum requirements were a 386 25 MHz and 4 MB of RAM
It took a lot of work to install the newer 6.22 DOS with the special program that allowed you to use a null modem cable and hook it up between two computers and run one program from the disc on one machine and one on the other and transfer files using the cable
I had to replace the 10 MB hard drive with a 60 MB hard drive and use a boot loader over way in the bios to get it to recognize the 60 MB hard drive but I did get it to recognize it
And it took about 5 hours to transfer the files from all six Windows 95 three-and-a-half in disks to the laptop and then I ran the setup program with the switches that would tell it to bypass the processor check and the memory check and the hard drive storage check and it took about six hours to install but it did install and even on a monochrome 286 laptop it ran pretty good
It did not crash and the lag time and Hang-Ups were not that bad it was definitely usable
And the thing that really had my head spinning was the fact that if they had written Windows 95 in 1985 there is no reason why we could not have had Windows 95 in 1985 on an 80286 computer.
I think the first color monitors came out around 1981 and I think they had 16 colors
EGA was 16 colors and was around in 85
It used a 9 pin connector
The limits were there, but I believe in 1987 VGA monitors came out.
So, we definitely could have had 256 color display in 87
I believe the 1mb trident video card was out in 1990 or 91
Windows 3.1 was out in 92
It was a big improvement over the previous windows version, but I remember seeing Windows 95 installed for the first time and I was floored by the difference between it and 3.1
It was the turning point for computers
People had been using computers to get on AOL from 90 but 95 with Internet Explorer CD included just changed everything.
Thank you for doing this experiment. It gives a lot of us hope to be able to use Windows 11 on our aging PC systems.
You know stuff gets real when someone gets Windows 11 to run on a processor type I couldn't even get Windows 10 to run new on.
Microsoft optimized by accident 💀💀
You have some of the most interesting tech videos. Wonder if there are any caveats to running on unsupported hardware. I'm sure MS would like to say so! Thanks for all ya do. ;)
I’m going to subscribe to you because your editing is great, music is awesome, video is great even though I don’t know what you’re talking about some of the time xD
you can go even a tad less than a pentium 4 with windows 11. since it's 64 bit required, most people assume the pentium 4 ht is the lowest it can go. but there were indeed a few amd cpus a bit older that were single core single thread, but 64 bit capable. some of these old early semprons and athlons indeed will install and run windows 11. and if you can push 1gb into the system with a 4 slot board and 256mb sticks, it starts becoming "somewhat" useable even.
Really cool to see that it works!!
That ending scared me, I heard that laugh and it I thought it was behind me outside (I even looked up to see if I could see anyone lol)

Lack of integrated graphics used to just be par for the course. Outside of name brand systems, I don't think I had a MB with integrated graphics until the Core 2 Duo days, so the thought of a 775 MB without this at that time still makes perfect sense to me.
I still have my P5Q-E tucked away in its box. Great Core 2 Duo motherboard. The only P5Q board that had on-board graphics was the P5QL-EM micro-atx with Intel X4500. I don't believe any of the P45-chipset based P5Q models had on-board graphics.
I've only ever had two motherboard with integrated onboard graphics chipsets, and they were Socket 7 era boards and therefore terrible graphics performance. So we always switched them off in the BIOS and installed a dedicated PCI or AGP card.
My old Dell computer had a Pentium 4 3.20 GHz HT that supported 64-bit OSes. You couldn't use anything newer than Windows 8 in 64-bit, though, as it required extra instruction sets for security that weren't on the CPU.
the P5Q looks insane with all that usb 2.0 and network connectivity. built in NIC or switch or both . :0 not to mention the beefy heat sinks on the power delivery and chipset.
your commentary is amazing! id love to hear you in more videos!
Honestly that motherboard is so cool looking
I think the reason the prescott p4 cpu didnt work while the cedar mill did is probably due to missing 64bit instructions(LAHF/SAHF) in earlier 64 bit capable P4s that got added in supposedly in a late 2005 prescott g1 revision
Impressive, would be interesting to see if Dirt 2 runs and if so what performance you get. A higher end Pentium 4 running at 3Ghz is the minimum requirement which you slightly exceed, you have tons of memory and the GPU was designed to show the game off at it's best with DX11 enabled, so unless Windows 11 bogs down the processor too much or causes incompatibility issues it should be at least playable. Dirt 2 was one of the first games to take advantage of DX11 and this stood out when you drove through water.
or looked at flags or drove through the safety nets lol
Athlon 64 would’ve been fun.
Same era as Pentium 4 but with the huge benefit of not being 💩😁
Athlon 64 was also the origin of x86-64 (then AMD64) and the NX bit instruction mentioned in this video.
I'm just gonna leave this here. Seems fitting for this video. czcams.com/video/qpMvS1Q1sos/video.html 😀
Nice to know that
I did something very similar when the Windows 11 Insider Previews first came out, but I went low-end. I bought the 3GHz Pentium 4 (I think it was the 631), borrowed a Gigabyte G41-ES2L board from work, popped in 2GB RAM, connected a VGA monitor to the iGPU, and off I went. I did give it an SSD to make things a little easier though. It chugged like you wouldn't believe and the iGPU was *horrendous*, but I did get full 1080p out of it.
And so on the 30th of June 2021, I had an absolute shitbox doing what Microsoft said was impossible :P
This was an amazing video, and project. It's funny for us older guys, looking at the attention of a CPU that was just a short moment in the range of CPUs I've used in my years. Some memorable moments were probably going from XT to AT 8086, 286, 386, but 486 was interesting, with the SX, DX, DX2, and even DX4, when everything was 25/50/75/100 or 33/66/100. Once into Pentium, P60, P90, was it then P75 and P100?, the cartridge like Pentium III? after that it was just we got into cores and Hyper Threading, and just numbers going up... I love your enthusiasm and attention to detail!
PS: Did I see 1 Core, 2 Threads in your cpuZ window? Was this the first HyperThreaded CPU?
My baby will always be the Motorola MC68000, running 7.09 MHz (Yeah, not GHz) if you were in Europe (PAL), but 7.16 MHz if you were in the US (NTSC), and screen output was based on the power grid frequency (50 / 60 Hz)
Freakin' awesome, love this... Good job, your skills are amazing! I can only imagine what a nightmare this would be to get going. Not to mention Murphy showing up ("Murphy's Law).

I will be doing exactly the same thing on my old office PC from 2012 with Celeron Dual-Core and 4Gb or RAM, but with a SSD drive to speed up the operation. I hope I succeed :-)
I also agree with Windows 11 actually running better on slower PCs than Windows 10. I got my Proxmox server with i5 processor and 2 installations for Windows 10 and Windows 11 side by side, sometimes even running together and the GUI of Windows 11 runs much faster than that of Windows 10. The only difference is RAM usages. Windows 10 rarely uses 3Gb or RAM. Most of the time the memory charts in Proxmox show it uses 2Gb, so I gave the VM 4Gb of RAM for Windows 10. Windows 11 uses 1gb more RAM. It stay around 3GB most of the time sometimes going to 4Gb, so I had to give the VM 5Gb. Windows 11 in VM runs so smoothly, it is hard to believe. I noticed that with 22H2 update Microsoft lowered the hardware requirements for running Windows 10 and Windows 11. Also Windows folder is much smaller than that of Windows 7. Windows 10/11 with 22H2 freshly installed is around 14Gb, while Windows 7 was 17 Gb. So, they did slim down the OS. Now if you have 10 year old PC, you can run Windows 11 better than Windows 7 on them.

I really like how you show the computer build process ❤
I grew up around a pentium 4 and this is so nostalgic and cool
I think you could have used Audit mode to disable windows Defender and Inspectre to turn off the Meltdown mitigation, giving extra juice to your build, also you could use a core2quad to make a kicker build
I had an idea.
How many Operating Systems can you install on a single computer?
Could you get 98 Operating Systems all running Windows 98 on A SINGLE COMPUTER?
idk seems like a fun concept
Excellent work! Thanks for posting. Subscribed.
Here's an interesting experiment if you like pushing old hardware to its limits..Take any 386 or 486 computer with 4mb, stick win95 on it and downgrade it to 2mb. I heard it's possible even though the minimum is supposed to be 4mb.
in case you ever want to try a xeon: The Old westmere- and nehalem xeons (X5660, X5670, X5690, W3550 etc) from before 2010 not only work, the PC is actually quite usable and quick. It even allows (older) games like GTAV with a pretty good performance
An observation: You could swap the other PC's guts into your only spare case, and the case that you empty out would house the build featured in this video. The only cost would be a little time, nothing more.

p5q were good boards, I ran a 4-core Xeon processor on it, only the connector from the power supply burned a little :)
I wonder if you tried any games on it.
Anyway, well done.
I think I had this motherboard for a while. I don't remember when or with what exact other hardware. Definitely not a P4 as the only P4 I ever owned was the mobile version.
I’m still trying to figure out why Microsoft has such high hardware restrictions for Windows 11 to “guarantee reliability”. It runs just fine, if not the same on unsupported hardware (unless it is very old) since it is just Windows 10 in disguise. Hopefully in the future Microsoft gets rid of these hardware requirements. And also makes Windows 11 better.
microsoft being microsoft
can't do anything
If you want "guaranteed reliability" you shouldn't use Windows xD
Claiming to support such a trash hardware will limit you in implementing new features while having to spend more money to make all the updates compatible with that hardware that is not currently used with any new software (btw, they've introduced the registry keys for bypassing all that hardware checks just for you nerds, to prove yourself that those restrictions are not really needed at the moment. But remember that you aknowledge the risks of a sudden incompatibilities introduced with another windows update)
It's like having to support IE6 in a modern web application.
Anyway, that's why they can't simply stay on win10 and announce another OS name, since you can't just randomly drop a huge part of hardware support in an ordinary system update.
Also, they also support win10 as a parallel branch, implementing all the security updates to care about people with unsupported hardware (and companies with LTS builds and some oldfags)
@@MrImodre you're right about the first part, because they fucked up their requirements a long time ago.
they could just add a disclaimer that some may not work though.
@@etmezh9073 Well, their registry 'bypass' keys acually work as a disclaimer. Nerds that understand what they are doing will easily bypass them and install what they want, while ordinary users will only be able to get a normal user-experience of win11 with no risks for the company reputation from old pc users
Grandma's pc be like:
seeing this mobo brought me back to middle school. one of my very first computer builds was with a p5q pro with a q6700
That great that all of this hardware is still supported, im going to make a dual boot between 10 and XP as a retro machine laptop thingy maybe you should do the same as it could be entertaining!
this video is pure evil for Microsoft
ah yes, limbo music
not here plz
what can i say here
i had a pc with the dual core 6600 a sapphire 4870 and this exact mobo in a coolermaster haf 932 but unfortunately the mobo ram slots gave out after 11 years of everyday use
I remember building PCs from back in that era .. a trip down memory lane.
You're literally the best tech person i ever saw in the internet
stay strong and disfruit russia!
❤
- Nuke peedorussia!
Disfruit?
@@MJ-uk6lu i can only think of a pun on disapple, but either way bringing politics into a video about running w11 on p4 is kinda ew
Nah, it's probably a failed translation of the Spanish word "disfrutar", which translates to enjoy.
@@papaproduction5 oh, that makes sense!
Спасибо за видео!!! А вообще это реально интересная тема сможет ли старый процессор потянуть Виндоус.
проц даже с калькулятором в сотку долбится, да и синька замучает
you may see different results with ghost spectre or other modded versions of windows11 with overall less cpu and ram usage, 1080p yt may become playable
The first Prescott table actually did say some of them supported NX.
как тебя привело к такому эксперименту с пеньком 4 и шиндовс 11?
You should have tried Intel mobile CPUs, I got Win11 running on a Celeron B815 which is an absolute potato and might be even slower than the CPU you used. Weird as to why you didn't get the P4 630 working, I might try that with my own P4 630 and say if it works (I hope I don't forget to do it).
I got windows 11 on an Intel atom N450. Literally 3x slower than the Celeron B815
I have a similar motherboard in an older build, but it has a Core 2 Quad Q9550 cpu with 4 gbs of ram and a GTX 570 gpu and yes, I was able to put Windows 11 on that.
Great effort installing Win5dows 11 on mechanical drives with Pentium 4. This prove Windows 11 still works on older specs.
I think Core2Duo or Core2Quad with SATA SSD dan 4GB RAM will rundecent enough with Windows 11 (Tiny11).
I use Tiny11 for several low specs like Celeron 3060, Core i3-17 from 3rd-4th Gen and 128-256Gb SSD, and running well for office, email dan browsing.

It is very surprising that you did not use *"Ventoy",* which is several times better than *"Rufus"* - not only is it extremely easy to install and use, but it also automatically bypasses the artificial limitations of _Windows 11_ by default.
If you are planning similar experiments in your future videos, in this case I want to strongly recommend the excellent custom drivers "Amernime Zone" for AMD video card models, which are built on the architecture of *Terascale 2+* (the model that is present in this video), *GCN 1+* and *Polaris.*
_This will be very useful in modern versions of Windows, it will allow you to run games that would not run on the original drivers._
the two tools serve entirely different purposes, but thanks for lumping the two together and calling one of them crap i guess? gotta love "experts" like you...
@@Knaeckebrotsaege You are wrong in your judgement, I did not claim that "Rufus" is crap. It has become less relevant for the installation of mainstream Operating Systems, as it requires additional configuration of OS image recording options.
And "Ventoy" gets rid of the need to overwrite the flash drive every time and to think about technical details (for example, such as *MBR* and *GPT)* and gives confidence that copied images of mainstream OS will be able to run as on old PCs without UEFI , as well as on modern PCs in full UEFI mode.
@@HIKKG From the sounds of it Rufus makes a straight image without trying to be too "smart", instantly making it a better choice for me.
I can bypass install hurdles myself, and worry about whether I am using MBR or GPT - people been doing that for a reeaallly long time with no problem, suddenly we all need hand-holding? Maybe you do.
I have a Pentium 4 631 here and while I haven't tried Windows 11 on it, Windows 10 x64 boots just fine. So I'd say it would work too.
This was a really neat build. Would be fun to run cinebench or something like that in an attempt to get the worst score. You could even be the only one with that processor who runs the newer versions at all.
Было интересно, спасибо
Sorry, third time editing this comment. The oddest thing I noticed about this board is the 4 LAN ports. I've never seen a board with that many, even server motherboards. I think NOT having integrated sound or integrated video was more common during this era, especially on enthusiast grade motherboards.
nice video but i guess it would be cool to have a disclaimer about the flickering screen in the description of the video or before the flickering starts
For me, the most impressive of watching this is finding out how clever are some people that they could practically make anything work.
