those are microsoft specs. Ive had 2k running on a 12mhz 386

Well, 2000 will run on any PC 98 does, will run current apps, and is based on the NT core....so i presume my post was informative and usefull.

goodness ppl. wtf are u re-installing XP home for? O_o Use server 2003 / 2000 or at least XP Pro. use common sense

reformat with windows 2000. anyone who uses 9X needs their heads looking at

ok, i just feel that wouldnt justify all the upgrades ive done to it. it was less than half the machine it is now when i got it...

Well I need to sell it as i need the money. I bought it only for £50, so anything above that would be fine. im not looking for megabucks

Hi, I am looking to sell one of my older servers, but i dont really know how much it would sell for. Specs: Compaq Proliant 1600 Tower Server 1 600MHz Pentium 3 processor 384mb ECC Registered RAM 5x 9.1Gb Hdds - 45.5Gb in total (Ultra-Wide SCSI-3) CD Drive Floppy Drive Comes with: Windows 2000 Server Compaq Smart Start Utilities 4 of the hard drives are almost new, and I recently upgraded it from 128 Mb RAM to 384. Does anybody know how muh this should sell for? Cheers HougTimo

Hi, I have decided to revamp my website and get it all up to speed with what Im doing now. I have been working on it for a couple of weeks now. I was wandering if you could have a look on it, especialy in browsers other than IE and let me know if it displayes properly etc... also what you think of the layout / graphics / information contained in it and do you have any suggestions for it? Addy - http:\\hougtimo.vze.com or hougtimo.white.prohosting.com Thanks HougTimo

yes i have had it running fine on an nf4 chipset. check iexbeta - detailed instructions there

ok thanks guys. everything seems to be fine now, and I even overclocked it to 2.2GH (original = 1.6GHz) and it ran fine, in the 30'C-42'C bracket and was stable with no probs. put it under a lot of load like that 2

Hi, I swapped the heatsink and fan on my athlon XP machine for a better one. After installing the new one, i booted up and put it through some CPU intensive tasks. After about 3 minutes it cut out. everything went off,but the power light stayed on. afterwards there was a teeny slight smell of burning. I took of the heatsink, and spread the thermal paste around a bit, to make sure it was touching the CPU and booted back up. so far no problems (been running about 10 mins). Will I have damaged y cpu or anything when that happend? and will i have any future problems? Thanks HougTimo BTW - when it did cut out, the cpu temp was only around 33'C

well A) never had any problems with NF2 and anybuild of vista / longhorn. B)I have good reason for hating dells. I have purchased over 340 of them (some for corporate network, some for home use) about 2 thirds of them have gone bad. I only buy Elonex Machines now.

its dell...duh. wot do you expect!?

just take the original ntdll.dll file from the original ISO and place it in your slipstreamed pack. should work ok.

Contrary to popular belief, AV and Firewall are NOT needed. And before you start flaming and calling me a n00b or whatever, I know what I'm on about. IE - I manage a few networks with 200+ computers on. (However all the machine to do with the corporate networks do have AV and firewalls, because company protocol demands it.) Now, I have 9 machines on my home network, NON OF WHICH HAVE AV OR FIREWALL. In the 7 years I have been managing our home network NON of our computers have ever had a hacker attack, trojans, viruses, malware, adware etc... I do however reccommend that you do a regular scan with Ad-Aware (that is all that is needed) and a hardware firewall. That IS all you need. aslong as you dont download sh*tloads of freeware crap, you'll be fine.

THanks for all of your feedback on these. Here is the promised wall at 1024x768: Hope you like it! Thanks HougTimo

couple of wallpapers on their way

and another one, i just did quickly: HougTimo

Hi, I had a 'spare' 10 mins today at college, so I whipped up a little Vista graphic in PS. Im really just looking for feedback, bbut if you want to use it for anthing...feel free! Hope you like it HougTimo

the boot files from server 2003, and when patched correctly, can make a difference to the speed of boot up. Numerous people have reported this as working, and from my own experience it does shave a couple of seconds off.

Q: Why run 98? A: So you can upgrade to Windows 2000 Cheaper! THIS ISNT MEANT TO BE A JOKE

Anyone? I really need some help with this

yeah...thats not a good reason at all to hate win 2k. its is *the* perfect OS. end of, no discussion, it IS!

from his post i think he means hes taken a hard drive out of his machine, and got a external caddy for it, not a flash drive at all. Now I have tried to run xp like this, and while you *can* (its not easy) get it to work it is very slow, especially if your not using USB2. Hope this helps EDIT :: After reading original post again, i think i misunderstood. Oh well...

or do what any sensible person, like me does, and use program Manager as your shell.
