Pcmark05 doesn't complete the entire suite of tests on my machine. I think it depends on outdated functions in IE that no longer work. No scores were provided.

Ooo this is fun. I'm doing a clean install of XP 64-bit on a Phenom II X6 1100t machine right now. I'll post my results when done installing

I'm encountering a weird problem where my my internet connection speed seems to be throttled down to 20mb/s only when I'm using Windows XP. This occurs when I'm using my Realtek 8811CU WiFi adapter, as well as the onboard Realtek LAN on the mobo. Under Windows 11 this problem is not present, as I'll achieve DL speeds up to 300mb/s, and it also occurs when I'm using a completely different motherboard, and different installation media. I've fiddled with the qos packet scheduler in the group policy editor, and that made no difference either. Does anyone have any ideas?

No native support for Discord or Skype here. What is everyone using?

It will work, but you won't be able to have many tabs open concurrently. The 4 tabs I had open were using roughly 2.5 GB of RAM.

What is more concerning is the fact that windows firewall prompted me, asking if I would like it to continue blocking connections from the Chrome application. It would appear that the browser is trying to phone home or something.

I thought this deserved its own thread, as opposed to hijacking the supermium thread. I'm posting from this browser right now on my XP machine with discord, ESPN, and youtube open, and haven't experienced any crashes or bizarre bugs yet. I'm a bit disappointed that we don't have access to the source code, though. https://github.com/weolar/xpchrome

The core speed actually fluctuates properly depending on load, believe it or not! I have PBO enabled as well, so I think it tends to boost a bit more aggressively. I had a torrent downloading in the background, so that might explain why it was boosting. But yes, thank you, this thing absolutely rips with XP installed

Woohoo! I got it installed! In the end I wound up having to use an NVME SSD, and it was extremely picky about which m.2 slot I had the drive installed in, but it works!

I don't understand what is happening. I have SATA set to AHCI mode in the UEFI..

I just tried this, and still get the 7B BSOD :-(

I've already done this. I had no problems getting XP running on B450 boards, but I'm thinking B650-E is a no go for now.

I tried this, and now the installer just hangs when it says "setup is loading windows".

Right, I did use a SATA SSD and SATA CD-ROM drive and still get the blue screen.

I did that, now I'm getting BSOD 0x0000007b for inaccessible boot device(?)
