Official - Windows 10 Worst Crap Ever!
Looks like that would be QFT, for the Asus P6T Deluxe with an earlier Killer ethernet card! My upload speed at testmy.net, on FTTH, never looked as good as this before!

Windows 10 - Deeper Impressions
Looks like I busted Microsoft, with Windows10S, basically the new RT, instead for the x86 arch! Received word that the Microsoft Store bans third party browser engines, like iOS! Ironically, MacOS might be much better!

My Browser Builds (Part 1)
Their new player is problematic! It likes to stick, even with a high-end system! I don't even have the Core 2 Duo E4500 nor the Asus P5QL Pro motherboard anymore, because it's wimpy for current standards, L.O.L. My main rig is a socket 1366 monster with an Asus P6T Deluxe, a Core i7 "Bloomfield" Extreme 965 and 6 GB of triple channel DDR3 SDRAM. The video card is a GeForce GTX 960...

Heads up! There are reports that even pre-Skylake processors are banned by updates!
Reports I saw on the internet so far: 1 reported getting that error message or a similar error message on an X58 platform! Another reported the same or similar error message with an Athlon II! And now a report from one with an Ivy Bridge! This thread is related to this thread:

Windows Update Will Not Work If Your Processor is NOT Supported
It's an artificial black list. Ironically, I never seen anything like this before, even with XP. And this is long before 7 goes EOL! It's easy to get around, this processor ban just sends the message to folks to disable Windows Update and there could be a lot of worms again... I guess it's going to be the hard way again, with some folks disabling the BITS service...

MSI Afterburner, because XP's supported!

XP post-SP3 QFE compromised by an attack at the hoster of the file! Take care!
OK, here's what happened: The first try, everytime I un-checked the fast download option, I get redirected to a page with a message telling me that my PC is suspicious and to notify technical support. Obvious malicious web page. And with it checked, the download response looks normal, but it got transformed into an .exe that opens Internet Explorer. The host needs to be changed, pronto! I tried and all attempts failed with a compromise.

RAM limitations of motherboards
Not like 2000s CPUs! Starting in the early-2000s, heatsinks had to exponentially be bigger to cool down CPUs at factory clocks! 1990s CPUs usually required nothing more than a tiny heatsink and fan!

RAM limitations of motherboards
The 6 GB capacity is typical of triple channel. Coming across 6 GB almost always means a triple channel system, which I'm only aware of socket 1366 using and maybe some other Intel high-end platforms... And it looks like nForce 2 may only support 3 RAM slots and thus 3 GB at max...

98SE on a Dell Dimension 4600
Check "DMA" on the drive entry in Device Manager. DMA is stubbornly disabled by default and that's probably why the OS lags.
