Tea-Sir

Old gold then ...... I am not exactly digging myself out of that hole am I

Most of my CD collection is old 90s Dance music, tons of stuff that just doesn't excist on streaming. Most of my new music is something I added while on streaming. I use Spotify and their feature to add local files that I can download to my phone via their app. And it actually works pretty well most of the time. That said, I have at times had some songs grey out, a few recently actually. And I hate when that happens, I love every song in my library. And it just doesn't feel like MY library, when things disappear. And having to scavenge the internet (legag or other) for the song, just plain sucks. But I also have to say, I love the discovery options on streaming. Playlists constantly made for you with new music or something to rediscover. I kinda wish someone did something that good for a music store. I would happily pay for my music, song by song, if it was still possible. (hint hint, if you people have some tricks for me, I am all ears )

I did a little check on Asus website for the specs you listed. And drivers that would work with Windows XP are just not listed. If I read it correctly, it is an ASUS pre-built, and it seems it downloads most of its drivers through Windows Update. (hence why they are not listed on their site). The main issue I suspect you have installing Windows XP, is missing drivers for your drive, or the interface/chipset on the motherboard. However since the drivers are not listed on ASUS website, you need to download those files elsewhere. But to know where to look, you need to know what kind of controller/chipset the motherboard uses. I have only done this very few times, so I am really not too experienced figuring it out, without sitting in front of the machine. Should you somehow get Windows XP installed, your next issue would be getting anything to work, drivers for the hardware are just available. Without chipset drivers, just getting USB devices to work can be impossible. Sometimes you if can get a hold of a 32bit driver you can install it by forcing the DLL file to load. But you need to figure out what chipset and other pieces of hardware are in the machine, and check the manufactures websites to see if they have any drivers (ie if the ethernet is from RealTek, you would need to check their website, and spoiler, their website is ). This is a treasure hunt. And there is no guarantee for treasure... If you really need native Windows XP, you need to find something older, or something with better compatibility. If you are talking about VirtualBox that should be a snap. Maybe try only giving it 1 CPU core, that sometimes fixes a few issues. I have never had issues getting Windows XP to run in VirtualBox. I am running the older Windows 2000 without a problem right now for some old software.

@pre_parzivalYes, that is still very good to use

My PC is packing a 5600X and a 6800 XT. Everything at ultra setting @ 1440. No FSR or Ray-traycing. If I am in a less crowded area i get around 100-140 FPS. If crowded, it does dip to 50-60 FPS. I generally see vram usage of 9 to 12 GB. I have not had any crashes yet, a few stutters when the GPU renders a dense area, or if move a little too fast right after a loading screen. Currently 12 hours in.

I am not in charge with the security, and honestly, network security is not my specialty. I am just responsible for doing the work

I am in luck, I have and old router lying around that will tell me what the MAC adress is. Thank you for that idea These devices do not randomize the MAC adress, we have looked through the specs of the device to determine that. Only devices with an approved MAC adress is allowed on our wireless. The rest is a little above my knowledge Thank you for your reply

Hi everyone Hope you can help with this one. At my work, we need devices MAC adress to connect them to our secure wireless network. The device in question is an Interative Touch display from CleverTouch. I just need the devices MAC adress. However no where in the menues will the device give up the MAC adress for the wireless module. And stupidly it is not printed on any labels on the WiFi module or the box of the WiFi module. Does someone know if I setup my PC as a hotspot if I can fish out the MAC adress that way? Or any other workaround that I might be able to do, to get the MAC adress of the WiFi Module? The Clevertouch display is running Android 11, if that helps anyone (Crazy thing is we have a 75" version, that does give the MAC adress in the settings panel, the 86" version does not. And no sorry, the modules are not compatible on the different displays, not to my knowledge anyway)

@James Evens The 4 pins for the RGB is Corsairs own proprietary layout. But you can program each LED individually in iCue. Even for the QL fans which has 36 LEDs (ish, haven't checked the exact number). So I don't know what each of the 4 pins do, but together they handle RGB. The RGB plugs can not be plugged into any other RGB solution, other than Corsairs own control boxes.

Corsair makes their own RGB connector, and requires their control box (Lighting Node Core). Because of this, each of the 8 RGB LEDs can be controlled individually. I should know, I have 6 of these fans in my case . So if you want to buy these fans, you need to buy a starter pack to get the Lighting Node Core, without that, the RGB won't work. One Lighting Node Core can handle up to 6 fans, and require in internal USB 2 header and 1 SATA power. Each of the fans require a 4 pin PWN connection. And you need Corsairs iCue software to control them.

Seems it is not. But I have had Tidal on my pair. And there is a difference. The sound gets a little richer, and details clearer.

I actually just read this on Toms Hardware, maybe a follow up review of RX 6000 series GPU's. Compare the performance on new and old drivers, and how AMD stacks up against nVidia. AMD's New Radeon Preview Driver Brings Double-Digit Performance Gains | Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com)

Exactly my point

I have to agree with If you look at the speed the drive works at in the video, it barely breaks 10 mb/s at 100%. it looks as if it failed, and I would also advise going the RMA route.
