They ran Windows 10 rather well, and were useful as secondary or test machines. They would outperform much newer entry level CPUs, while costing less because they had already depreciated. Now that these systems do not officially support windows 11, expect prices on them to start coming down. That means they will be inexpensive options for running XP.
Most systems reserved some of that space at the upper end for their own use, and that amount varied. That sounds limiting, but keep in mind that by the time 4 GB of RAM was considered the useful minimum, the mainstream had moved on to Windows 7.
AMD dropped XP support in There is unofficial support for slightly better cards, but it will be even more work to get those working. Also cards of this generation are still expensive, because they still work with current titles and GPUs are scarce. When you go to buy one, the prices should tell you everything. The good news is, that means pretty much any video card released before will work with Windows XP. I recommend you look at the titles you want to run, and get the recommended card for the newest and most demanding title.
A GTX may seem like the safe choice, but it will also cost more than the rest of the computer. But if you were going for a high budget option, that may be the card you want. Also make sure the motherboard in your system has the right connector for the graphics card you want to use.
By the end, PCIe was the standard. That said, it still works with an SSD and will be much faster. I definitely recommend you align your SSD , because XP will not automatically do that, or boot the system up with a Windows 7 or Windows 10 disk and partition and format the drive, then reboot with your Windows XP media and install on those existing partitions.
So you will need to make sure that the power supply you use is compatible with your motherboard, and if you use a high-end video card that needs its own power connector, that the power supply also has enough wattage and the appropriate connector for that video card.

How to turn old hard drives into one large drive in Windows Put your old hard drives to good use. Ed Rhee. Here's how to create a spanned volume: Step 1: Go to Start, then type "diskmgmt. The bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server R2 and later versions of Windows support more than 64 logical processors on a single computer. This functionality is not available on bit versions of Windows. Systems with more than one physical processor or systems with physical processors that have multiple cores provide the operating system with multiple logical processors.
A logical processor is one logical computing engine from the perspective of the operating system, application or driver. A core is one processor unit, which can consist of one or more logical processors. A physical processor can consist of one or more cores. A physical processor is the same as a processor package, a socket, or a CPU.
Support for systems that have more than 64 logical processors is based on the concept of a processor group , which is a static set of up to 64 logical processors that is treated as a single scheduling entity. Processor groups are numbered starting with 0.
Systems with fewer than 64 logical processors always have a single group, Group 0. When the system starts, the operating system creates processor groups and assigns logical processors to the groups. If the system is capable of hot-adding processors, the operating system allows space in groups for processors that might arrive while the system is running.
The operating system minimizes the number of groups in a system. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Hello Andrew, Thank you for using Microsoft Answers forums.
