NT4.0 was the best Windows ever. It was bulletproof with no hickups, no crashses. I kept the computer running for years and it never had to bootup due to any problem. If a program was misbehaving, it was simply stopped and removed.
That's why NT was often used in commercial and industrial environments, it's simplicity and reliability. But for gaming, you needed Win 95, 98 or 98/ME...but those OS had the annoying tendency of crashing suddenly without warning. 💀 Rule number 1 of PC gaming, Save often, Save smart.
It was great compared to the DOS based Win9x series, but it didn't have plug and play or support for 3D graphics. If you installed a driver wrong way during setup, you'd sometimes have to reinstall the OS from scratch to fix it. I'm sure there was a fix for those things, but the internet was in its infancy at the time and there weren't as many answers back then. I used NT 4.0 for my work desktop for about a year due to the stability but I switched to Windows 2000 as soon as it came out.
@@carrazanazalazar Windows NT then 2000 then Xp then Vista then 7 then 8 and 8.1. It can be argued that Windows 10 is still based on this but actually... Windows 10 suffered so many Kernel modifications that it's in essence something else already.
Man, that was a flash back and a half. I built so many Windows NT work station computers in the day, I could almost do it blind folded. The prompt music still resinates in my ears ... thank you for sharing.
In 1996 there wasn't an optical disk recorder capable of 48x24x48. Heck, even in 1999 the recorders available were barely x2-x4 speed. I have a TDK recorder with 48x24x48 capability and it was the newest technology in 2002.
I had that same Packard Bell 2240 computer back in the mid 90s. It had Windows 95, 200Mhz Pentium with MMX, 32MB RAM. I bought it as a display model from American Appliance back around 1997. I did a lot of upgrading on it while I had it.
Windows NT 4.0 is my favorite OS. I installed it on my new computer in 1997 based on the VIA Apollo PA-2007 board and AMD K6-200, 64 MB SDRAM DIM. Unlike Windows 95, the computer worked stably for months without the need to reboot.
Good old NT4. Had 4 servers and about 20 workstations running at a university back then, but I have to admit I loved when 2000 (NT5) came out, because it made so many things so much easier (especially driver installation),
I remember selling that exact Packard Bell system back then... I remember when Windows NT was so new and innovative! Introducing the world to the very first completely 32bit OS.
That NT login sound. I used an old NT server to run Quake 3. I had to put a desk fan in it because the dual Pentium II processors didn't like being overclocked 😅
Windows NT 4 on a Packard Bell is the weirdest, unholiest juxtaposition I've seen in a while. And this includes that very same computer having a 48X CD-ROM in it.
Windows NT was the first time I could really use a PC for work. Prior to that they did not have the horsepower that I needed. I used Unix and VAX computers. PCs have come a long way since then.
If Microsoft had added minimal USB support for Windows NT containing Mouse, Keyboard, and USB stick support, this would be the greatest Windows ever released on that given generation.

I miss shutting down a computer without seeing a stupid update screen.
It is now safe to turn off your computer.

You can still do that by either using Linux or disabling updates.

@@curon_licentiaFalse, nothing breaks.
Back in time, owning one of these machines was a real blessing

How so?
Man that startup sound was epic.
Now imagine hearing that 200 times every morning at 8am.

@@paulwblair It all depends on your needs. For industrial applications it was perfect.
The best for gaming is XP & 7. Old PC games on 7 and Project 64 emulator; 7 for games of 2000's and all other emulators
The NT startsound is the best from all Windows versions.
Windows NT was the new way for XP and upper.
Don't forget Windows 2000 based on nt
sound wise or system wise? Cause I remember installing NT and thinking" why is everything no longer compatible?"
Agree
Windows NT was first the IBM OS/2 Warp killer.

Like looking at photos of your first true love.
omg geeks!
I miss those times. Still have a couple of working 486s.
such a great time to live
That brings back so many memories. The only issue I have with your setup is you should be using a 13-in CRT monitor😂😂
Nope . If we could afford NT 4, we could afford a 17" CRT .
Don't forget to install the "custom" HAL that supports the ACPI or APM power off function !
@@johndododoe1411
The monitors were massive. It touched the wall on mine. It was like 20 inches from the back, to the screen lol
@@johndododoe1411
But could your desk afford the weight? lol
Just hear that sound with headphones. ❤Wow... Thank you for the memories
Windows 2000 was a polished Windows NT.
Every version of windows up until now has just been a polished version of the previous.
@SirFrag32 Yes, but Windows 2000 was so sweet.
@@SirFrag32 well, besides xp. xp started a new windows era completely
The intensity of that colors is amazing

Nor did pretty much anyone have a LCD panel lol
LCD’s first outsold CRTs in 2003, so kinda close.
@@jeffk9268 Not really when you consider the massive jump between computers from the late 90s to early 2000s
Speaking of this, the machine she is using has a Pentium 200mhz CPU too...
@@cantcomeupwithausern Not exactly too far off but a lot of people in '96 were still stuck in the 75-150mhz range
The way you punish that keyboard screams Elder Abuse 😂
We never had NT growing up. Went straight from 95 to 98.
That’s because you had a home computer
@@weirdass2hufanyes NT was professionnal, like 2000 pro.
@@gillesgnd4885 still there where teenage 'Professionals' like me who stumbled upon NT in the wild and we just had to try it, good times :)
That's because NT wasn't used primarily in homes. NT was used mostly in businesses.
Yep same here
95 to 98 to ME for me
Yay Packard bell like my laptop. Oh yea that shut down and startup sound love it
A Packard Bell running WinNT 4.....dang this hits me in the feels.

remind me back then , use to play / addict to games like command and conquer ! damn

It's sad that there's no more startup sound on windows.
I didn't know that
You can technically enable the 7 one on newer versions but yeah
@@AlLiberali can I?
@ Yes. It's in the Sound old control panel
There is in Windows 11
这一整套电脑真的是非常的好看❤❤❤美丽❤
i freakin LOVE the slamming of the keys
I love the WindowsNT Startup sound.
Что было, то было и любовь была.. Это из песни))) . NT вполне себе система, нормальная, без расстройств при использовании
Good old NT4. Had 4 servers and about 20 workstations running at a university back then, but I have to admit I loved when 2000 (NT5) came out, because it made so many things so much easier (especially driver installation),
You make me so nostalgic.
The fact that they went to all the trouble of turning it on, just to turn it right back off... 😂
I remember selling that exact Packard Bell system back then... I remember when Windows NT was so new and innovative! Introducing the world to the very first completely 32bit OS.
Music to my ears ❤
That startup sound was the best ❤❤
The fact that it starts faster than the fucking win 10 work laptop that finds updates every day..
Updates have become a real nuisance.
Hah. NT4 and Red Hat 5 kept my lights on back in the day after i finished school. Nostalgia.
Yes! RH 5 and its fancy boot loader name ANACONDA!!!
That NT login sound. I used an old NT server to run Quake 3. I had to put a desk fan in it because the dual Pentium II processors didn't like being overclocked 😅
Ahh my childhood
It's Pentium MMX 200MHz, 32MB RAM, 3GB HDD
This third generation pentium processor was introduced in 1997.
Windows NT 4 on a Packard Bell is the weirdest, unholiest juxtaposition I've seen in a while. And this includes that very same computer having a 48X CD-ROM in it.

That Packard Bell still looks new.
I had a creative Cd rom drive back in the day. So many memories. Thank you 🙏 for your channel.
nice, i have an old computer collection
This is what i had growing up.
Even today we STILL have server admins without good passwords!!
The power in the startup itself...
amo esse iniciar do NT 4.0
Pentium MMX is one of the best, it could play any mp3 effortlessly.
Very loud keyboard. And I like this
When disabling intro and outro sounds saved 3-4 seconds in power up / power off procedures... 😂
Boy those 1996 TFT's really were something.
The sound…🔥🔥🔥
I sold that whole line at Best Buy back in the day. I loved working in the Computer Department during this time. I miss it dearly. 😊
Such a clean computer... freshly wiped....
I remember this back in high school. Everyone went crazy over it because it gave us unlimited internet
with that display in 1996(?) you were a god :D
This was the era when video games started.
There were flatscreens like that in 1996? Wow, never knew that!
That was one heck of a set up for 96 - 2000. I probably would have ended up putting windows 98se on it though.
My friend has this on his Pentium 4 PC 😂😂😂😂😂
Bro i have a pentium 4 with windows 7 and no gpu
But that still good
Ah yes. How nostalgic.
I don’t miss those download speeds though.
Ooooh the keyboard 😀 we had the same one on our home computer in 90s.
Oh wow. I haven’t heard that startup sound since before Y2K
The monitor is 10 years younger than 1996, same with the 48x CD Burner.
The laundry machine has started
Feeling nostalgia lol
Packard Bell 😄 Yes, the preempt to Hewlett-Packard!
P200 MMX in 1996... that's nice.
Slap a 4MB Voodoo in there and you're in business... guessing the "3D" graphics card was a Virge...
Nostalgic ✨✨
Increíble sonido de inicio!!
Sounds like a space ship ready to launch.
But window xp professional was the best thing Microsoft ever developed.. 😊
Ahhh.. I miss the sound of the Windows sign in. Why don’t we have that anymore.
That is cool. I just subscribed, which is also cool 👍

Beautiful
I love your shorts
I had a Packard bell
Too. But , the monitors were gigantic.
I miss the old pc
Back in the day, I had a Dell Pentium Pro running NT 4.0. Spent way too much $$$ of course. But damn, it was a genuine NT.
My first lap top was a Hewlett-Packard. 😅
Up until windows XP, we were customizing the way our PC startup and shut down. 😂❤
Éramos felizes e não sabíamos
We thought everything would get better back then and now we're sitting in the mud.
Even computing is irrelevant, all the magic is long gone.
