By the way, many of the Northwood Pentiums had Hyperthreading (HT), as well. I had a Northwood P4 that ran at 3.4 GHz stock (512 KB L2 cache, 8KB trace cache). Ran Windows 7 (32-bit) and Ubuntu...

You *might* be able to access all 8 GB of your RAM, even with the 32-bit Windows 10 variant that you have installed. If you enable the PAE flag:
Pro tip: Override the 4GB memory barrier on 32-bit...
Thanks, Roger -
My Win 10 install was a clean ISO install, too (USB), onto my laptop's Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD. From power on to full desktop takes around 8 seconds. I cut Win 7, 8.1 & Win 10...
I'm still using Windows 10 x64 Build 10041, and everything works fine on my Asus i7-4700HQ laptop here. I hardly ever boot into Windows 8.1 or Mint 17.1 anymore.
(I did change my Windows Updates...
I've been using Windows 10 x64 as my main OS since build 9926 (am now on 10041, runs just fine). I say this because I find that I am spending far more time booted into Windows 10 than I am in either...
hi, ika, and welcome!
Windows 10 build 10041 apparently does have some bugs, but none of them have cropped up in my installation. Everything seems to be running fast and smooth on my laptop....
Hi, TechnoMage -
Pardon me for butting in, but I couldn't help but "eavesdrop" on this thread -
I've *always* done clean installs....never "upgrades", beginning with Windows 95 OSR2 in 1997.

Thanks, adamf!

When does Build 10041 expire?
Thanks, you too!
Alright, I won't do that anymore, BunnyJ. I promise. You had me worried there for a minute! ; P
Thanks, Roger! Good to know.
Oh! When you asked "And the point of your previous post was???", I thought you were asking *ME* what the point of my previous post was, not what the point of YOUR previous post was. If that was the...
The point of my previous post was to show that even though my PC with that AMD X2 4400+ CPU is quite old - from 2005 - it is still quite a capable platform, even 10 years later (even if it lacks the...
I'd say so! Very decent score, BunnyJ - although it's a case of "apples and oranges" - that run of yours is on Geekbench version 3, my run was on version 2.
By the way, here's how my Socket 939 X2 4400+ -based PC scores in GeekBench 2.0:

To any/all Windows 10 gurus here :
Not a huge deal-breaker for me, but from Day 1 I have not been able to get Cortana working. Every time I click down in the Cortana / Search text entry window,...
Thanks, Dude. Will do -
Thanks for the feedback, Slartybart -
Thanks for checking, Mystere - much obliged.
Best-case scenario for me: I may yet possibly end up with Windows 10 x64 on this beast (who knows?). Worst case, I stick with Windows 7, which...
(Quoting Nelson Van Alden, from "Boardwalk Empire"): "I am relaxed."
Roger, DavidY beat you to the punch about 3 hours ago, and as far as I'm concerned, he put it to bed.
His response was...
Maybe at that point the update will be sufficiently significant to merit a dot-release/OS upgrade; i.e., "Windows 10.1", which I then wouldn't be able to install - just like I wasn't able to...
Thanks, BunnyJ:
So you think it likely that somewhere down the road, MS will push a Windows 10 update out of Redmond that will suddenly make my Windows 10 PC unable to boot (let alone run) Windows...
Thanks for your prompt replies, Roger -
Here's the problem: I am wondering if I can get the full, final Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit operating system - when Microsoft finally releases it to retail...
