Hello, Windows 2000 adepts! I'm desperately need your suggestions and advices. I decided to build a Windows 2000 Datacenter machine. Especially after discovering the news about porting of modern fully-fledged Supermium browser into W2K environment. Here are the results of my investigations. Correct me and add additional preciseness to details. Important statements [please correct me if i'm wrong]: 1] Maximum number of CPU threads including hyper-threaded ones can be 32 [so 16 cores + 16 HT threads is an absolute maximum] 2] Maximum amount of RAM is 32Gb [accessible via PAE technology, which introduces some latency and affects performance a bit] Browsing the web i've seen some non-clear evidence of 64gb RAM configurations. 3] Best video card is GeForce 980Ti 6Gb Vram 4] As i understand NVME storage is out of the question, only sata SSD can be configured 5] USB3.0 support is not possible? [or i just need to purchase correct discrete controller with appropriate drivers?] 6] There is no PCIE Audio card with Windows 2000 drivers Here is a configuration which i decided to try out in Windows 2000 field: cpu: Xeon E5-2696 [i already own 44 thread beast, planning to disable HT tech to make things work] mobo: Asrock X99 Extreme 4 [not certain about drivers though] ram: 32Gb DDR4 (8Gb x 4) Video: 6Gb GeForce 980 Ti / 12Gb Titan X [i've heard that 980Ti is faster than TitanX by a small margin] SSD: Plain SATAIII SSD < 120Gb Audio: ESI Juli@ PCI [If you'll not find PCI-E solution] Hopefully that i didn't forget anything crucial to make build happen. Waiting for your expertise, you teckno-dinosaurs!:) -
I've just released April's Updates Downloader, Checker and Add-on Creator or UDC for short. It's a script that downloads all high priority updates with a simple double click. You'll need nLite since some of the update have to be turned into add-ons. Great time to make an up-to-date setup CD. It's available at xdot.tk. I don't think this is the end of updates. Some updates are cross platform OS and can be applied in one way or another to XP. edit: XP is not a platform. lol. It's an OS :/

Hello everyone! So, the other day, I was reading a blog post somewhere (lost the link) but it said that roughly 20% of Windows-based computers are still running Windows XP. This got me thinking about creating an unofficial "Microsoft Update" that will specifically aim to provide user-created hotfixes and updates. Now, the first step I decided to take, was to find a Service Pack 4, more or less, that will provide all of the Windows Updates post-SP3 to XP's end of life. I ended up finding that @harkaz is creating exactly what I was looking for. (http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171171-introducing-unofficial-windows-xp-sp4/) Note that I have also found the registry "hack" that provides POSReady updates for XP, so security updates aren't a big concern. The next step is to find people who either have made, or are willing to make hotfixes for Windows XP, or to find a place that contains hotfixes post-EoL for XP. So this is pretty much where I'm at with this idea. I've started to design the GUI for the application, but it has no functionality whatsoever at the moment. And thoughts, ideas, concerns, questions, or something? Basically all I'm looking for is feedback from the community. Thanks!
