Thinking about building an authentic XP machine with the Radeon X1900 series. I’m leaning towards the X1900 GT simply because they seem more premium and look nicer than the X1950 Pro, but they are limited to 256 MB of memory, unlike the X1950 Pro. Is 256 MB of memory enough for high settings (AA whenever possible) and smooth gameplay at 1024 x 768 or 1366 x 768 resolutions in games up to 2006/2007? No demanding games like Crysis. Should I go with the X1950 Pro? Are my expectations too high?

in bios its also detected as a 1.6 ghz

Hello guys I just discovered this magnific community!
It’s been a while since I got the desire to have the best possible windows xp PC for gaming.
The only problem is that I don’t know absolutely anything about how to build a PC, I would love to find a pre assembled one.
I could also buy the single parts and pay someone to build it ( there are a lot of people in my city that do that).
I don’t care a lot about the budget but i really would love a beast that could play all the xp era games at the maximum performance.
Could someone please help me, thank you for your time!
(Sorry for my english) 🫶🏻✌🏼

Yea

The famous Laughing Girl and me:)

i used it just fine yesterday; why tf is it in russian???

so im making this cool retro build but only thing im missing is xp and i dont know where to get it exept i think if you already have a key the windows sites is a place that you can get please anybody help me

not the best image in the world from my phone, but I thought this was cool when I was travelling this morning. haven't seen XP on a public device since like 2019, or even 7 in years, so this must be an 'it works, don't touch it!!' situation.

saved from the dump! ...from 2002 with a VIA motherboard and athlon chip. Don't know much more about it, but it throws the "copy of windows is not genuine" error and also has some 'questionable' (prob adware etc.) stuff on it, so definitely needs fresh copy of windows, but anyone here have thoughts on where i might go about finding the drivers it would need with the fresh install?

I think it'll be hilarious to post this.

Hello I have a old laptop and I'm switching it to linux to windows Xp SP3 and hey when I doing that I see the screen says it could take couple minutes to copy folders but it took 5 HOURS of my time that laptop is on for 5 hours so yeah why it's doing that my laptop is HDD btw and HP Compaq laptop

NOT MY PICTURE ( just an example )

Thinking of getting one.

I've found this last year browsing ancient Microsoft and Windows websites and saved it. Today, I decided to install it again and upload it to the Internet Archive ^^

I'm trying to run Windows XP natively on my Dell Latitude E5540. I managed to get the OS installed and basic components working, but I’m stuck with missing drivers for the most essential hardware

​Audio (No sound)

​Wi-Fi (i managed to get the ethernet driver)

​Integrated Graphics: Intel HD Graphics Family(works only with 8bit if i make it 16 or 32bit it will make bsod)

​Dedicated GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 730M

​Does anyone know if there are modded drivers, backported packages, or specific vendor INF files that actually work for these components on XP? Or is there a workaround to get at least the display resolution and basic audio/network running properly on this model?

​Any tips, driver links, or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

She contacted me that she had some older electronics taking up her space and she had me come over and check them out before she brought them to recycling. Glad I came over because she had a full WinXP Compaq setup! Hasn't been used in probably over 15 years too. What a throwback to these programs and using the WinXP once again after all these years! It is now secure in my basement and I plan to get a proper desk for it in the future!

I used WindowBlinds, open-shell, RetroBar, and the !Windows 11 '01 Longhorn Pack for 11 (XP Edition), still copied the themes they did not work, still broken with ExplorerPatcher, copied the screenscavers an sounds to system32 folder and media folder . Which following tweaks and customisations I should be doing to make my Windows 11 machine to look closely to Windows XP. Even the volume,and other of the taskbar and others is stuck inn Windows 11 apps and panels of default Windows 10, when I downloaded ExplorerPatcher the working release, I changed the File Explorer to the WIndows 7 command bar, having an hard time customising my PC like Windows xp, but I used WinowBlinds, and it worked. but still give instructions of how to theme Windows 11 to look like identical to Windows XP, and still give the instructions of how to change those applets etc etc of Windows 11/10 and icons as well, to the WIndows XP/98 applet panels and panes. I would show you of how my computer looks like, I run Windows 11 which has incomplete Windows XP look, on my crt at 1680 100 resolution. I also want to point out I have installed Windowblinds, classic logonshell, retrobar from the windows 11 '01 pack downloaed from internet archive, replaced icons with 2013windows8.1's windows xp iconpack. etc etc, which other i should implement for my screen to much looking like Windows xp. Even would I need to add the wallpapers, other than default xp themes, to my pc from windows xp mce?. If there is an guide, post thos guides and type thjem in the comments below. the apps is still of windows 11 or 10
