1.0 Gpix/s seems about right for my project. Let's see if I can find something slower still :D

That Asrock K8NF4G-SATA2 is Socket 754? Well that just gives me an idea. Need to check the specs.

I found my Celeron D, it is the 3.2GHz 352. You're looking for a slower model, correct?

That Asrock K8NF4G-SATA2 only has PCI & PCI-e, no AGP. I'm sure you could find something to experiment with though.

Would one of the L2 cache crippled (128KB) Celeron P4 (Willamete/Northwood) run Windows 10 64-bit?


Edit: Those Celerons are limited to 32-bit, the only ones to get 64-bit was the Prescott Celeron.

I found my Celeron D, it is the 3.2GHz 352.
That’s a Prescott Celeron, supposedly one of the most hated CPUs? I would of thought the Celeron Willamette or Northwood being L2 Cache limited was the most hated.

How about a 12 y/o case that's still in use?

Gigabyte iSolo 210 from 2008... the Core 2 era. I built my first LGA775 here but it's now home to my Ryzen 5 3600.

It's getting a little long in the tooth but I've always been a function-over-form kind of guy. TPU ran a review of this case 13 years ago, which then led to my purchasing it a year later.

I like my case boxy with sharp corners that can maim anyone who touch it the wrong way. :D

Thank you for checking it! Yes, I'm after the slowest 2.53 GHz Prescott Celeron.

the only ones to get 64-bit was the Prescott Celeron.
Thanks for the research. As I understand, the slowest 64-bit desktop CPU from Intel was the Celeron D 326.

As for storage, this 5,400 rpm laptop HDD is the slowest I have on hand:

Minimum Win7 requirements call for 20 GB disk space. Does anybody have a small enough drive & could benchmark it for reference? I'm curious how much slower it would be ;)

This Celeron is a Cedarmill, not a Prescott. It's on the 65nm process which is the same as gen 1 Core2 Duo. It should overclock like mad!
I think Celeron D's problem was Intel's screwy naming. I believe lots of people though they were getting a dual core CPU (because of the D) & were not happy once they got their Gateway, Compaq, HP, or Dell home. The Willamette P4 & Celeron weren't around long enough to be come most hated. Intel figured that mistake out pretty quickly. lol

I've treated myself a little too much recently but I have a few more things on the way and that's it for me... I hope to post up some more pics when I can get everything sorted out :D :D

I do however need to try and get a little bit of help with a few PSUs for the older kit, I don't wish to use my 850W P2 to test things if I'm going to kill hardware!! I'd rather just check things out first and then get things if I need to rather than kill the kit...

I got a Nexus RX-8500 rev2 for 25EUR + shipping which was pretty cheap and it does its job perfectly for benchmarking. :toast: Also I got two crappy PSUs for something older light-load usage.

That and the increased heat output compared to the previous gen, even though Prescott was on a smaller node. In the times when an all-copper cooler with a 60mm fan was considered high-end.

Tho they were released in 2004 as Pentium Ds came in 2005. It was more like D for desktop and M for mobile I guess.

But yeah a normal consumer probably thought exactly like you said.

A little update on my dead socket, its very weird, when the board finally detect the CPU it will run fine for a while, I could reassemble the heatsink and system back, restart, shut down and do whatever but as soon as I unplugged/turn off the wall plug the next time it boots it will give code 00 error again :confused:

I have second mobo but that one don't have PCI slot for my Audigy 2 ZS and only one channel of its RAM working, and more unfortunate its in my parents home some 400km away :(

In my ongoing search for the slowest DX9 GPU I learned a few things. Thought I'd share some of this retro nerdiness with my fellow geeks ;)
Technically speaking, Win7 requires hardware support for Pixel Shader 2.0. Driver-side, it requests support for WDDM 1.0, a feature set first introduced in Vista. So, for my "Win7 min spec" project I figured I'd go for the slowest GPU in terms of pixel fillrate, with a Win7/Vista driver. Going by these criteria, here are my finds:

PCIe
NV GF 6200 LE (2005)
ATI Radeon HD 2350 (2007)
ATI Radeon X300SE (2004) - Vista driver
ATI Radeon X300SE HyperMemory (2005) - Vista driver

AGP
NV GF 6200 LE (2005)
ATI Radeon HD 2350 (2007)
ATI Radeon 9550SE (2004) - Vista driver

IGP
NV GF 6100 (2005)
NV GF 6150LE (2006)
ATI Radeon Xpress 2100 (2008)
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (2004) - Vista driver
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 (2005) - Vista driver
Intel GMA 950 (2006)

I'll see which I can source locally :p

Tight fit with that Zalman! I dig the color scheme - now all you need is orange/amber RAM heat spreaders :)

A blast from the past my Abit NFS-V2.0 with the reverse wire trick using conductive paste, still holding, home made heatsink, some good old Muskin BH-5
runs!

The MSI K9N NeoV2 & Asus P5B-VM seem to be alive. The MSI needs to have its BIOS flashed via DOS tho and I need to recheck how its done via USB stick as I can't remember.

I remember my friend buying BF2 only to see how his 6800 GT AGP performs when he bought the card in 2005. :laugh:

That's because Gamespy? or whatever service ran the master server is dead.


Try the links harry0ld mentioned. Unfortunately, something strange has happened to the linked Battlelog site. Seems to be a place to find cheats for games now, or possibly a giant scam.
