Re: Post your system.......
Not sure why my P4 is pretty awful in Linux playing flash movies...
Unfortunately I don't own any copies of Windows I could compare against Linux.Comment

Re: Post your system.......
I'd guess because Flash is slow on everything and the newest Pentium 4 release is already 10 years old.Comment

Re: Post your system.......
And with 64-bit Vista and later, 5 GB+ of RAM would be recommended.
I wouldn't guarantee 7 x64 doing well on anything pre-775.Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 05-14-2015, 05:04 PM.ASRock B550 PG Velocita

Re: Post your system.......
Yes my 775 P4 (P4-650) is slightly faster than my 478 P4 (3.0E)...
Both are crushed by my C2D, etc.
I think the P4 might have a run for its money against my Atoms...
The Atoms I have are also miserably slow, but probably still get beat out by the P4s.
I just updated the Linux install on my 486DX4-133 via a VM. No sense in letting it build (it's running a full copy of Gentoo!)Comment

Re: Post your system.......
Atoms have higher efficienty than P4's by far, but only the higher p4's can even come close to some of the lowest atoms, past that atoms win. And atoms are more MMX/SSE optimized and capability, so newer OS's run better on themCap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: Post your system.......
"Efficiency" means nothing when the processor isn't fast enough to run the application you want at the speed you need.
Computer efficiency makes no sense when it's talked about without the type of efficiency. Absolute power efficiency is pointless, a minimum processing speed bar is needed per power envelope since parallelism is not always useful or practical.Comment

Re: Post your system.......
Because 4 GB on a default x64 can be used up easily if running RAM-heavy programs.
6 GB would be better on x64 Vista and later.
My cons of Vista and later:
1: DirectSound eliminated.
2: Resists freeing up RAM when another program needs more RAM.
3: Random Windows Update errors. (7's Windows Update has a tendency to randomly give error code 80080005)Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 05-15-2015, 10:16 AM.ASRock B550 PG Velocita

Re: Post your system.......
Speaking of RAM, anyone had experience with DDR2 "high density" vs "other" RAM?
I thought that this was fixed after the SDRAM PC66/PC100/PC133 days, but apparently this is still an issue. I am thinking about upgrading my 6GB Core2 Quad's RAM, and currently I have two 2G's and two 1G's. I'll need to drop the 1G's but wonder what my options are to upgrade its RAM? Is my best bet getting two more 2G's (and bump to 8GB) or could I get a pair of 4G's (but risk incompatibility but bump to 12GB - which will probably be more than I will ever need)?
This machine is running virtual machines and also is a disk storage server. VM eats RAM as well as disk cache...Comment

Re: Post your system.......
I'd just go with 2 gig modules. 4 gig DDR2 modules aren't worth the investment.
If you do need more than 8 gigs I'd find a Core 2 board with DDR3 instead. DDR3 ram tends to be cheaper for the same amount and once you're getting into 4 gig modules there's a huge difference.Comment

Bah, now I'd need another board to get DDR3. At least it would then be interchangeable with my i7's RAM... or I could get two 8's for my i7 and dump its two 4's into the c2q... mmm...

Re: Post your system.......
New setup now I've moved into a bigger room... Going to try and find matching monitors to replace my current 24" ones. Maybe 1200/1440p or 4K monitors. Both of these monitors (well, one is a TV) were trashpicked, but I don't mind spending a few £s on new ones if they are good quality.
Monitors are on a DM352 desk mount, stands removed, maximises desk space and puts them at a proper eye level. Yes I do know they are at different levels, but I can't change that without matching the monitors.Attached FilesPlease do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered.

Hey guys,
I have an Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 motherboard with AMD RAIDXpert. I set up a 1000GB RAID1 array on it. This was about 8 years ago. Every once in a while, a power outage or something would knock one drive offline and degrade the array. After a reboot the drive would be back online and it would rebuild just fine.
Recently, a drive dropped offline and the array became degraded. I figured it was no big deal and rebooted then set it to rebuild overnight. The next morning I took a look and both drives had dropped offline at 70% rebuild. Uh oh.
I rebooted... -

Hi,
My Dell Precision T7910 died after enabling onboard SAS controller and applying RAID settings. There were no hardware changes between working and not working state, only setup (via bios -> controller settings). After applying settings and reboot PC turns on, flash leds (normally) but there's no further action, it just stays on with no graphics and no keyboard led's on. There's no Dell logo, nothing. I've tried resetting bios by jumper, replacing cpu's, replacing ram, removed/replaced cmos battery, disconnecting all drives etc. I've also dumped .bins from mobo chips SLI1 (16... -
Hello All,
I am trying to repair an old Abit ST6-R motherboard.
The symptoms are the following:
I got it in a non-working state. I was told that it sometimes turned on, but many times just the CPU fan was spinning and no other signs of life, the board didn't POST, and now it doesn't POST at all.
It was full of bulged electrolytic capacitors, so I replaced all of them with new Low-ESR ones, but it didn't solve the problem.
If I install a CPU in the S370 socket, only the fans are spinning and no POST. There are no beep codes even if the RAM DIMMs... -
Hey guys I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get Windows 10 to boot up and install drivers after changing the bios settings for the sata port from raid to ahci.
My motherboard is an Asus M5A99FX pro R2.0 and when I built the PC I set all of the sata ports to raid mode. There is one setting for ports 1-4 and one setting for port 5 and the esata port. I currently have 4 drives set up in two raid 1 arrays on ports 1-4. My ssd containing Windows 10 is plugged into port 5. I also have an external esata enclosure with a 2tb drive that I use as a Windows backup plugged into...
