I'll try that. I have the computer off for now. It gets too hot for comfort. May have to find a new heat sink. -
This is the error I get whether I use compatibility launcher or not. Maybe I need a different version

Ah this looks like a DirectX error because I don't think I installed it yet

Windows Update decided to stop working after I installed 12 updates from the site, error 0x80072EFF
-
Windows Update website now functions... installing updates...
-
The above issue is solved... I hard shut down the computer with the power button, tapped F8, last known good config. I then installed Update Rollup 2 then V11, had to close explorer.exe to get it to finish installing. afterwards, I re ran the USP5.1 and it worked without issues. Now in the process of installing other stuff.
-
I cannot get past this point in the USP 5.1 installation left on overnight

I'm not sure... Maybe I can get them for you

That doesn't make any sense... I sent my payment using paypal. Hold on a sec.
-
Do you not have paypal?
-
Yup, ripped them right out of my POS core 2 quad system. the solid state drive I have in it is more expensive than the entire computer L:D

It took 3-4 days... pretty quick. You order the badge first without paying, and then you get an email telling you to send so-and-so dollars to voth.co's paypal email address referencing the order # that was emailed to you. I was confused at first too, but it worked out and the proof is in the badge I got. So if you want the badges, go ahead and order them. I have no idea if these guys produce them or if these are old stock, but grab em because they're cheap. I'm expecting my board to come in today.

An update of sorts... Some parts came in, I installed a floppy drive and two SATA DVD writer drives and a 500GB HDD in the new case. It's an extremely light and cheap case and I'm satisfied with it. Nice and simple. Also, my operating system came in (Windows 2000 Professional SP4) it's brand new and sealed (Bet ya haven't seen one in awhile.) and my Windows 2000 badge also came in.

The 672 is the only P4 to support it to my knowledge. Anyways... I'm pretty happy with the cpu selection. C:

x4, add to cart. I'm gonna put one of those stickers on the bottom of my Windows 2000 laptop, a la Windows 95 laptops. I agree with the choice of hardware. I'm running Windows 2000 on a Dell Latitude D610, which has a 2.13GHz Pentium M, 2GB of DDR2 and a 10GB IDE hard drive (!). It's a 2005 era laptop, and I think it's a good demonstration of the perfect balance between modern capability with that old computer feel. It really does look like something from 1998/99 (Not a computer, per se) and that's all that matters to me. If the system was a generation older and had DDR instead of DDR2, then it'd be more of a hassle for me to stuff as much memory into it as it'll take. Because DDR is more expensive than DDR2. I think the later model Pentium 4 is a good choice for this project. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-pentium4-662-672,1709.html I also read somewhere that the 672 supports hardware acceleration... I can't find the article.

One thing I would have done outside of P4 would be to get a motherboard with dual socket Tualatin Pentium III 1.4GHz capability... 9Or even single tualatin) But I would need an AGP slot on such a board, which is tough to find. I know they're out there and I've seen them for sale, though. If anyone knows anything about that stuff lemme know.

I agree, the Pentium 4 has a lot of potential as a single core CPU to this day, especially the hyperthreaded prescott models. My goal with this project is to pair 2005 hardware with a 2000 OS in order to have the cool/nostalgic factor of W2K while avoiding the inefficiencies of sub 2000 hardware. That being said, I didn't just want to have an old OS on newer hardware, so I decided to meet in the middle with the Pentium 4. it's only a matter of time before the beloved Pentium 4 meets legacy. )

I've got you guys on the case badges. This place has them all. I had a pain of a time locating them, I was wrong for assuming eBay had them. http://www.vath.co/index.php?cPath=1_8They also have badges from different manufacturers like Intel, nvidia, amd, etc. Some of them they don't have but I've found Pentium III badges and older on ebay for cheap. As far as I know all of the different variations of Microsoft Windows badges are here. I ordered this one. http://www.vath.co/product_info.php?cPath=1_8&products_id=713

Cool, as this is a fresh build, there will be no moving of data, programs or files from other drives or computers involved, so I imagine that leaves less of a headache. A solid media player would be nice, so hopefully someone chimes in on that. I usually just use whatever comes with Windows, like windows media player, but obviously that isn't a thing in W2K. Does your old version of adobe acrobat suffice? If it's not too much to ask, can you look at the picture I sent of the USB drive's contents and let me know exactly what order that stuff should be installed in? I assume drivers are going to be #1.

Hi, just chiming in since I've got a machine to build soon.
