  1. Thanks for the advice, I will definitely look more into it.
  2. I wouldn't know to be honest. I have used XP in the past, but I wasn't as informed back then as I am now. So I have no idea what version I was even running, or what hardware was considered high end at the time and ran well on the OS. And considering I couldn't find anything specific on the internet regarding this topic, I was hoping I could get some more info by asking myself on the LTT forum. Really wish they would make a video about this themselves tbh.
  3. Yeah, I'm thinking about building one for retro gaming as well as some later titles that aren't even supported on W7 anymore. I know DDR2 memory would probably work just as fine, but like I said, I would like it to be a bit overkill So you also suggest I should go with a dual channel configuration? A Core2Duo CPU should be fine, but I would like to get a dedicated GPU for "newer" games up until maybe 2006/2008 era. As for the PSU, I'm aware I don't need a lot of power. 400W or even lower should be plenty. I just don't want to put an old used one that comes with the case or something for obvious reasons. Will still go with an SSD considering FakeKGB's comment. Like you said, 500 GB should be more than enough. For the case, I will use basically anything I can get my hands on for as cheap as possible. Doesn't really matter Thanks for the great info and helping me out. Will definitely snoop around a bit more and see what I can come up with
  4. Basically everywhere on the internet from various XP enthusiast's I guess. Apparently the OS isn't really stable and not many programs, apps and games actually benefited from it. My guess is they were all focused more on Vista and W7 later on.
  5. I am looking into building a Windows XP based machine for some old and not so well supported games. I am fully aware that it's not officially supported by Microsoft anymore, and is not necessarily safe to use. But I don't intend on surfing the web on it or use it for anything personal. Just some good old fashioned gaming. I also know that the 32 Bit version is a lot more stable and better supported than the 64 Bit one. As far as I'm aware, the latest version is SP3 from 2008. Correct me if I'm wrong about that, I want to have as best of an XP experience as possible. The only thing I'm not so sure about is the hardware support. Can't really find anything specific on the internet. I know I don't need the latest and greatest components, but I would still like it to be at least a bit overkill. Cranking everything up to the max, 60fps, 1080p (or at least 720p). From what I've gathered, an Intel Core2Duo should be fine. But I would like to get something better if XP supports it and benefits me in some way. I'm stuck with 4 GB's of RAM, but I don't know if it's better to run it in single channel (1x4 GB) or dual channel (2x2 GB). Probably going with some DDR3 RAM, 1600 MHz or 1866 MHz, depending on what motherboard I can get my hands on (could use some recommendations on that as well). Should I look into RAM latency? Will I benefit from getting a SATA III SSD? What GPU should I get? These are all some fairly simple questions I wouldn't bother asking when building a modern PC running Windows 10. But I feel it's a lot different for this particular instance. Or am I looking way too much into it? I don't really have a budget, but my guess is that for this build I can get my hands on some really cheap components. So that shouldn't be an issue. The only thing I would buy new would be a power supply. I could really use some help on this if someone has experience with building XP based systems. And yes I know I could run it in a VM, but I think it would overall be a much better experience running it on dedicated hardware. And I just feel like it
  6. I actually intended on building a small PC for my living room to plug into my TV and use it as a "Home Entertainment System". So the Magnus would do the job quite well!
  7. I never really looked into 1440p monitors to be honest. Can you recommend some?
  8. Yeah, it looks like there's no other option for now. Really wished there was a sort of all-in-one package out there
  9. Well that sucks... Really wish they would make one soon though. I feel like every manufacturer is focused on 4K monitors, and I'm not really a big fan of 4K. Not only are they expensive, but not many people have PC's that can run native 4K games, nor can they really afford to build one. Not to mention that most people don't even have an internet connection fast enough to watch 4K content online (yes, I'm one of those people). I believe that manufacturers today have the technology to build the best 1080p monitor ever. But for some reason they just don't seem interested.
  10. I am looking for the best 1080p monitor that money can buy. Essentially what it needs is the following: A 1080p LED display and IPS panel A refresh rate above 60Hz (preferably 144Hz) 1ms response time Great color reproduction, viewing angles and contrast ratio Fully adjustable Preferably with a display port and G-Sync (although I doubt such a G-Sync monitor exists yet) Screen size doesn't really matter. But it would be nice if it's 24" or bigger. Someone suggested the Acer XB270H to me. But it's a TN panel. So the viewing angles are not that good, and the contrast ratio isn't really the best either. Does anyone have any other suggestions? All the monitors that I found on the internet (from BenQ, Acer, Asus, Dell, AOC, ViewSonic, LG etc..) had one of these features missing.

  13. I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. And the Lenovo Y40 is a VERY nice laptop. I'll definitely take it in consideration. Thanks for the great suggestions.
  14. Everything's great. Especially for the price. Although I do have some concerns regarding the CPU. I need it to be at least 2.0GHz, I would feel much more comfortable if it was at least around 2.3 - 2.5GHz. I have no idea how 1.9GHz would stand up for the task. Do you think that that one Hertz could make a huge difference in running Traktor?
  15. A great high-end laptop. But a little too pricey for what I need it for. Thanks for the suggestion though.
