![]() The old system could do thing ok with the exception of video processing. Only reason I switched it with a new hard drive was because 12 gigs was not enough. I still have the original quantum fireball drive I had been running for almost 8 years and it is still in good health. For an old crusty machine it has stood the test of time and continues. I don't know how far the improvement will be but probably much better than what I have currently. Heck, a dvd takes about 16-18 hours to create, lol. Might get a video card, not going to be playing games or anything, just editing simple video ![]() I'm guessing this new computer will be much better than what I have been running since 1999.ĥ00 mghz processor intel 2, upgradeable to 600 only at the time I asked some years ago Nlite is the stripped down versions? I think I have that page saved somewhere. If that doesn't pan out I'll just go with XP. Intel may have left the info in the INFs if the drivers were built for 2k but just taken them off the support list but I think youd be better off trimming XP down to look and act like 2k (not that you should need to -any CPu that'll install on the 945 chipset should handle XP in all its bloated glory just fine) You can try to use the XP drivers on the 2K system and they might work. (ok seriously the OS/boot pun was unintentional but im leaving it in)ĪFAIK, Microsoft still accepts manufacturers looking for hardware certification (WHQL) for windows 2000 but in this case, Intel may have decided not to test/certify the board for 2k. Trying to cut Vista down to a win2k hardware footprint might be a little optimistic, but you can easily knock XP down a few notches on bloat scale and get a pretty smooth OS to boot. My opinion is its easier to start with an OS and take out what you don't like (Nlite, Disable SVCS, ETC) than it is to try to take an OS you do like and patch and hack it to work on next gen hardware.
