    Windows 8 on early Pentium 4?

    It doesn't. Also, the only OSes that support my wireless card that I can feasibly run are Windows 2000 and XP. Unless, that is, Solaris supports a Dynex Enhanced G Wireless Desktop Card. Doesn't even have a model number, it's so cheap-y.

    Windows 8 on early Pentium 4?

    Well, that was fast. And disappointing. I could find no such option in the BIOS. Crap. Well, It was fun trying, anyway. Maybe I'll have a bit of fun with my main when I get a new one, make it run Windows 9 or whatever they come up with next.

    Windows 8 on early Pentium 4?

    Hehe, not quite. Not yet, at least: I have updated my BIOS to the latest version. I'm going to see if I can find some option in it that lets me enable/disable NX. My CPU supports it, but my mobo... might not. Ima give it a whirl and post the results.

    Windows 8 on early Pentium 4?

    I feel like an idiot now... ONE simple Google search revealed what I wanted to know. No, it does not support PAE nor NX. It kicks me out with the error code 0x0000005D. I looked it up and figured out that my poor old P4 just got cut a break.

    Windows 8 on early Pentium 4?

    My Windows 8 Pro DVD doesn't boot on my Pentium 4 1.9 GHz, on an ASUS P4B motherboard. It has the i845 chipset, not the i845m or whatever it is that adds USB 2.0. It's one of the earlier ones, predating DDR RAM by about a year (sticker on case says August 2002.) It uses the 4 x 100 MHz FSB. It...

    Thanks everyone! Please tell me the "enter a captcha to post" thing will go away with more posts too? I can see that just getting really annoying. I have no idea what folding at home is, but I will look into it shortly! I'm 15 and I've tinkered around with computers for about 6 years. I...

    What constitutes "basic computer knowledge" in 2014?

    In my humble opinion, basic computer knowledge consists of knowing: -how to turn it on -how to run a web browser and use a search engine (no Googling Google to find Google) -how to use a word processor and save and open documents, as well as printing when applicable -how to do basic drive...

    Everyday monitors

    Yeah, I'm terribly nearsighted... But I must say, I agree on the ASUS monitors. My dad got one a couple months back, and though his HDMI sound quit working mysteriously shortly afterward (I think his computer being an old-ish eMachines vomit box that he barely upgraded the graphics and RAM in...

    Windows 8.1

    I guess I'm sticking with Windows 7 until the end of time... Well, it's not as bad as some guy sticking with Windows 95 OSR2 (that he modified specifically to exclude IE as he's a anti-IE fanatic) to this very day, apparently even maintaining his website with his Athlon XP 2500+ w/ 512 MB RAM...

    Everyday monitors

    Hm... I don't know if you can still buy these direct, but the HP vs15 is pretty good. I don't think HP manufactured this one, or any monitor for that matter... It has built in speakers too. It is only 15", it's max res is only 1024 x 768, and it only has a VGA output, but it isn't like office...
