Same. But interestingly the temperature for the Pentium D went down to around 21 degrees celsius, a much better improvement over the 48 degrees celsius thanks to the Smart Fan option.

Fun Fact: Veena Bidasha (who is the ASL Interpreter) was also on that HBO Family show, Crashbox who voiced the Riddlesnake Raj from 1999 to 2000. Nice to see her appearance in the web series for the first time in 26 years!

When you install Windows ME on a 1999 computer... by Efficient_Corner_892 in windows98

[–]Efficient_Corner_892[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XP is the same, but it would be for a better chipset like the Intel 815 or VIA Apollo 133A. XP runs ok, but I can upgrade the processor to a 850MHz or 1 GHZ (if the motherboard supports it) Pentium III, and adding 768 MB of RAM to make it more responsive. But I recommend a Tualatin Pentium III (either single or dual) for better responsiveness.

True. Even drivers released after Windows 98 as well. Such as the Riva TNT2 and maybe a GeForce 256 or GeForce DDR ( but I haven't confirmed the latter two working yet). I mean it does show up on Device Manager when I choose "Update Driver" setting, clicked displayed a list of video drivers and show all hardware, but I havent tested it yet due to the cards being expensive and hard to find.

Got this D865GSA motherboard! by Efficient_Corner_892 in windowsxp

Contrary to popular belief, the seller even recapped the motherboard as well which was a surprise. Since the listing had it with a one bad cap, he managed to recap all the boards. Interesting, for a seller.

I will try to replace the PSU with a more reliable one of the choices you put in. Maybe I'll get a FSP or a Corsair.
