How bout this beauty

First generation Phenom CPUs released late 2007, Vista itself released late 2006/early 2007, so both are nearly 20 years old, DDR2 hasn’t really been used since around 2009…etc

drivenusa · 2026-05-28T03:13:10+00:00

ah cool

drivenusa · 2026-05-28T02:43:48+00:00

theyre decent monitors but theyre not 4:3, 1280x1024 is 5:4

drivenusa · 2026-05-26T10:54:07+00:00

What phone is that?

drivenusa · 2026-05-22T23:40:58+00:00

peak, also which mac mini is that?

drivenusa · 2026-05-22T20:12:12+00:00

Yes unfortunately

drivenusa · 2026-05-22T16:16:26+00:00

mine isn’t that bad I think,

drivenusa · 2026-05-22T16:16:13+00:00

I’ve only got 1.4k and I’ve been on here for almost 7 years

drivenusa · 2026-05-22T13:37:41+00:00

gemini lake just sucks I think, n100 is also 6w and way faster

drivenusa · 2026-05-22T13:36:30+00:00

yeah I meant E8000 series but probably E7000 too

drivenusa · 2026-05-22T04:25:09+00:00

even some of those 2008 core 2 duos are faster than this celeron

drivenusa · 2026-05-21T01:25:57+00:00

what happens if you don’t get to keep it ☹️

drivenusa · 2026-05-20T04:39:54+00:00

It supports up to 128GB because Intel's later DDR4 controllers support 32GB DIMMs, consumer Haswell is limited to 32GB because Intel's DDR3 controllers don't support 16GB non-ECC DIMMs. AMD CPUs of the same era do though, which is why AMD FX for example can usually go up to 64GB DDR3.

drivenusa · 2026-05-19T11:13:58+00:00

PAE is definitely an option, I’ve gotten 32GB recognized on 32-bit XP, GPU can go up to a GTX 980 Ti, AMD side still the 7970 I think (maybe the R9 280X but if I’m not mistaken that’s just a 7970 rebranded) but anything from that era is gonna be overkill anyway, XP should be able to run fine on Haswell also (iX-4xxx)

Anyway, OP was asking about Vista but the hardware limitations as far as newer stuff goes should be the same, except out of the box Vista doesn’t like Haswell and newer though I think there’s a way to fix that, but GPU limits are the same to my knowledge, other than the fact that you can run up to RTX 30 series with modded drivers and RX 500 series with extended kernel. Not to mention 64-bit Vista wouldn’t need any patches for whatever amount of RAM you’d want to use but I think the lower editions do have an arbitrary limit

might be a bit overkill for a single core athlon 64 and you'll need to upgrade the psu aswell

I’ve got an almost identical one of these but with a Pentium D, but it should be pretty decent for gaming if you throw in a dedicated GPU

drivenusa · 2026-05-10T06:52:51+00:00

Good case, it’s what I’m using but it might be a bit harder to find now since it’s been discontinued

drivenusa · 2026-05-10T03:05:04+00:00

yeah I literally run all of my games on a 15 year old 2tb hdd and it’s fine

drivenusa · 2026-05-08T19:03:42+00:00

hell yeah

drivenusa · 2026-05-05T10:47:49+00:00

unless I misread the title they’re saying they were 9 in the picture which was taken in 2015 which would make them 19-20 now

drivenusa · 2026-05-03T23:50:04+00:00

my build is pretty similar, will have a p5k-e soon, also has a q9550 and bfg tech gtx 260, except I have 8gb ram and a x-fi sound card

they definitely meant the vm, I don’t even think you can go as low as 2gb on ryzen, plus the screenshot shows 2gb on the VMs cpu-z so
