    What are good examples of Windows Vista/7 era laptops that can run XP?

    I have a Compaq K6-2 I got at VCF Midwest for 20 bux. Pretty fun little machines, but I wouldn't want to use XP on it. Sadly only thing dead is the cdrom (battery still holds a 20-30 min charge!). To replace it, have to take the entire machine apart, motherboard out and everything. What a crappy...

    What are good examples of Windows Vista/7 era laptops that can run XP?

    There are patches that allow up to 64gb ( Hear the 128gb patch is unstable), I dont see too much an issue...I run the 8gb patch on a Dell laptop with no issues so far, your mileage may vary. As far as unused memory, it can still be used as virtual memory, and can even throw the pagefile on it.

    What are good examples of Windows Vista/7 era laptops that can run XP?

    I would look for laptops with Nvidia 600/700 (760M is a solid option, even plays GTAV) series gpus. Most should work well with XP, minus maybe sound drivers. So make sure to check the laptop audio chipset for audio drivers. Also something cheaper, be AMD A8 based machines.

    Best Sound Card Clone for 286

    286? Sound Blaster Pro or Pro 2.0 compatible... In the compatible range, suggest a Media Vision Pro Spectrum 16. Get SB pro emulation (Thunderchip), and good stereo adlib/mpu!

    Ultimate Pentium Build

    I have a PCI-X Matrox Parhelia with both lead cables if needed down the road. Was going to list it up for sale next few months with a bunch of other stuff. I was using it a while in my dual pentium pro build and it was fun, but since moved it to an s3 virge and voodoo2.

    Ultimate Pentium Build

    Actually there was a PII 200mhz based off the original Klamath core. Not sure how many were actually sold, but have seen a few engineering samples for insane prices.

    California 30 positions SIMM connectors

    https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws9229/ Should be able to dremel them apart. And they are angled so should look OEM.
