I don’t know if I would say 2012 is old. You’re already in the Intel I-series at that point with 16-32GB(64GB?) of ram support(mainstream) and PCIe express upgradeability. Hexa core availability. ...

Should I stay away from Win7 SP1 on a low spec pentium-M? Is SP1 much slower than the initial release of Win7?
My graphics card has its own memory. It’s not shared.
I don't think 2GB is the problem. If you look at my screenshot the system is only using 1.2G with a bunch of stuff open including a browser.
Don't need to defrag either. I'm using a SSD.
And...
Didn't do that so I just did it now. Didn't do anything for app lag.
The lag is like the app UI will be totally unresponsive but the mouse cursor will be fine and certain UI highlighting will be...
Yep that was one of the first things I did. I don't think it helps much in my case. The UI was always very fluid. I'm just getting really bad lag spikes in apps. I don't think I'm going to spend...
Ok I did it. The drive swap trick works. The windows 7 key on clean install works.

I would recommend doing as much configuration as possible on the...
My expectations are tempered (have you noticed the thread we're in :). I would find something to do on it that wasn't painful.
I'm posting this right now on a 2008 C2D MacBook with 4GB (maxed)...
I would love a dual Pentium Pro workstation as well if I could get one working. I had one long ago but lost it in a basement flood.
I'm actually hunting for a dual slot2 Xeon workstation. I know those Xeon heatsink and packaging assembly is massive.
I work for a large visual effects company. Our workstations are all 2 CPUs. 14 cores per CPU or more. 192GB of ram or more. For hundreds of artists. :)
Oh that's great I'll try that next time. That was nice of MS to implement...finally.
Thanks but that guide requires win7 to be already running on the target system. Most of mine don’t have a functioning OS to begin with :(
Ah I see. So the only way to get a W10 key is to do the upgrade from within W7 on the target machine or is there an easier way to ‘convert’ the key?
Do you just need a Win7 key that hasn't been upgraded to 10? I might have a few.
Why were you looking for a machine that did not have a W10 digital license? What’s the difference?
Going past 64bit will not be the same as the previous jumps. With 32bit it was mainly to get past the 4GB memory addressing limit. Sure there was PAE but I don't recall any consumer hardware using...
There’s no current need to go to 128bit native. 64bit CPUs can already work with 128bit and bigger data. We’re going to be 64bit until we die. Maybe that will change in 100 years?
I don't think its realistic to support hardware this old. I'm here just for the challenge. What grinds me more is the lack of linux support because a lot of developers are dropping 32bit. But then...
It's definitely not as fast as SATA 1 but its better than any native PATA spinning drive or even the rare PATA SSDs. Sequential speeds were around 90mb/s but the random I/O is where it should shine....
Dude are you even reading my posts? mSATA to PATA adapter enclosure. There is a translator chip. Takes any mSATA SSD which is going to be much cheaper/faster/bigger than a native PATA SSD. They're...
Don't need to clone. mSATA SSD will go into a dummy 2.5" SATA enclosure onto the donor system. In the target system the same mSATA drive will go into a 2.5" mSATA to PATA enclosure. I've already...
Just got Win10 working on an Intel C2D T7400 based laptop. Not really a challenge but still a pretty old machine. I’ll use this as the donor machine to get an install onto the Pentium-M that won’t...
Yeah totally. I have plenty of machines that are just 1 gen newer than the Pentium-M I'm trying to get working.
Also, anyone daily driving their old machines?
Hmm, as a work around maybe install Win10 on a different machine and then just transfer the drive back?
