Using external, USB, HDD/SDD bigger than 2TiB (not 2TB), because the USB stack works OK with 4KiB sectors. For more on this, there's an extant sticky thread on this forum, so do read it. I use RAID5 to manage more than 2.2tb. External hdd is really best to put as it can be carried easily.

This fix is amazing! I've tried it on my old Windows XP laptop which had 6gb RAM and it worked flawlessly! Thank you so much! I will make sure that once I upgrade my main PC, to install Windows XP x86 and try it. By the way, is there a Nvidia GTX 950M or maybe Nvidia GTX 940M driver for Windows XP x86?

Sherylinrm Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Windows xp accepting more than 3 gigs of ram has nothing to do with accepting graphics ram. The video card can have 64 GB os video ram and it would have no effect on. Only "system" ram is affected. So one can use the gtx 960 4GB video card if one chooses. Someone posted this link before but it bears repeating. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/105040/en-us Click where it states the supported products. It states NOTHING that says only the 2 GB ones are supported. I hope this clears this up Windows XP [with the linked drivers] can play and use the GTX 960 and under.
Dibya Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Today one of my friend called me to make his GTX 1060 work . YAhOo inf mod made the card fly 1

What should I do it to make it work? - I definatelly prefer GTX 1050 and if there's a way to get it working on XP, that would be AMAZING! I might even get GTX 1060, just if it's sure that it will work. Please share any other information you have regarding that modification. Edited November 2, 2016 by Windows 2000
FranceBB Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 @Windows 2000 probably "just" inf modding. Anyway, there's no way to guarantee that a certain card will work with just inf modding (editing the inf file): the only way to know whether it works or not, it's the "empirical way" (i.e try). In other words, it's not worth to "risk" buying a card without knowing whether it's gonna work or not (especially if it's an expensive one).

SOrry My wrote wrong My friend own 1070 not 1060. 100 series are not tested with xp they may have bugs. I my self highly recommend GTX 980 ti or normal TiatanX for XP. They are tested fully by me also works great. here ypur entries if you wish to try %NVIDIA_DEV.1B80% = Section025, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1B80 %NVIDIA_DEV.1B81% = Section025, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1B81 NVIDIA_DEV.1B80 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080" NVIDIA_DEV.1B81 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070"

And what about Nvidia GTX 970? It's not officialy supported by Nvidia, but I guess it would be easy to get it working since they support some of the 900 Series.

I believe it will run very fast . 960 and 980ti does not have much difference. If it work great here with 980ti then it should work great with 960
