I've decided I want to build a PC that will run Windows XP 32bit and I want to use the most powerful officially supported components that still have high compatibility. I plan to pick up a quality CRT monitor for this build and a future Windows 98 build I'd like to do, so the GPU should support analog output in some capacity but I believe all cards prior to Pascal support analog output. Not sure about AMD side though. So far I'm thinking Intel i7 3770k on a Z77 platform with an Nvidia GTX 780ti. I'm not super familiar with any memory limitation intricacies Windows XP 32bit has and I see mixed information from random forums that can date back to 2001. I have questions like: "Can I have 4gb RAM and also have a 3GB video card?" "Can I have more than 4GB physical RAM and have Windows only use 4GB on boot so it's seamless with no compatibility issues? If so, how would I get dual channel to work if the kit is say, 2x4GB or 2x8GB?" "What are the maximum storage device size limitations?" I've already considered the GTX 690 and decided against it because I'm not sure about SLI stability in general (cool card tho). I'm aware that technically the GTX 980ti and Titan X are supported on XP with a minor driver edit, but I don't want to pay current gpu prices for those cards and it's not technically "out of the box supported" so they don't follow my "officially supported" theme i have going on. let me know if I'm missing any other potential GPU contenders. I'll come right out and say it, I'm not really sure if the i7 3770k is the absolute endgame CPU for this build. I'm really just looking for best single core performance here. And I guess this is where my research ended and I hopped on this forum. I've been researching for 3 days now very inefficiently. I'd really like to see a list of motherboards and chipsets that support XP but somehow haven't found any online. Also interested in any pc case suggestions, thinking of getting like an early to mid 2000s period accurate case or something but I don't know any off hand. I'm 24 years old and always played with PCs growing up but I never really got into PCs until 2016 so there's a lot of hardware history I missed completely. -

Hello, I own a Lenovo MIIX 300-10IBY 2in1 laptop. It came with windows 10 that nowadays barely works. I decided on installing some distribution of Linux, maybe ubuntu or lubuntu. The problem is that despite its 64bit Intel Atom chip it is equipped with a 32bit UEFI. With a bootia32.efi file, the USB stick boots fine and the installation of the system completes but after reboot the freshly installed system doesn't boot. I tried many tutorials on the internet and already asked on a few forums but didn't succeed in fixing this mess. I am open to any suggestions and commands to try, maybe someone here has already dealt with this type of thing?

As per the title, I am trying to install DirectX 8 and 9 in Windows XP pro 32bit, and when I start the installer, they get all set up to install, then state that they are done installing instantly. Nothing actually installs, and the directx folder is empty. When I try to run a program that uses DirectX, it crashes, with a "failed to create D3D device". I have the latest drivers for the GPU (ATI FireGL V3600), the chipset drivers are all installed, everything shows up with drivers. The display works perfectly, using the gpu to accelerate window resizing works. I've tested this GPU in other systems, it works perfectly. I'm struggling at this point and would appreciate any ideas. -
Hello everyone! After the advent of the infamous Windows 10 (doesn't matter v1511 or v1607), IT problems and headaches have skyrocketed. Couple of times I heard Luke saying the annoyance of trying to benchmark machines with the instability of Windows 10. I have to say that it can get much worse when you have Active Directory. Our machines after join the Active Directory are now unbearable to login and use. Even when using software like DisableWinTracking, Spybot Anti-beacon etc, Microsoft services some times take almost 100% of disk and/or memory usage, and arround 90% (!!) of CPU usage most at login time and randomly during the day. Logins are much worst than boot times ( sometimes taking more than 5 minutes to release the desktop even after it is show to the user in a good day). You guys don't notice that much because (that's a guess) because Core i3 computer with 4Gb of ram and HDD (in the majority of the machines) are not that common outside Brazil (where I live). But, even with some Core i5 and i7 the situation is not good. We are doing some testing disabling more Windows 10 annoying service and scheduled tasks, which helped (using Download Destroy Windows 10 Spying recommended by Barnacules Nerdgasm helped very much). Doing tests two things came to our attention: The same machines that we tested with Windows 10 32bit performed so much better than with Windows 10 64bit, Of course we loose some RAM but the performance is like downgrading to Windows 7; In the IT department, more specifically the support team, we installed Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE) and we are using Windows 10 on virtual machines (VM). Which is impressive since even using Windows 10 64bit inside a VM with less available RAM the performance is better. How is your experience with this ... work of art of Microsoft? -
I have recently done a clean install of windows 7 32bit x86 and the first thing i did was to check for updates. When i clicked in the "check for updates" button, it kept on saying "checking for updates". I left windows update to run for over 1 hour and nothing happened. I have also attempted to reset windows update settings following the instructions from this link (https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/971058) twice. Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong??? Thanks

Hello everyone, I have this exercise: A + B – C + D. A is a 8-bit variable, B is a 16-bit variable, while C and D are both 32-bit variables. The function should return a 64-bit value that must be printed in C. Which I am certanly doing wrong, mostly because I am not sure yet what operations I should use to do it right. I did this just to have something printed out: movl op1, %ebx #move op1 to a register movl op2, %eax #move op1 to a register addl %eax, %ebx #add op1 and op2 movl op3, %eax #move op3 to register addl %eax, %ebx #subtract op3 to result of op1+op2 movl op4, %eax #move op4 to register addl %eax, %ebx #add op4 to previous result How do I go about this properly?

I'm going to get it out of the way that GPT is the standard when initializing drives, don't need to debate that. However, in theory wouldn't it be possible to expand the storage capacity of MBR drives by using Advanced Format or e512 drives? Standard hard drives have sector sizes of 512 bytes, and MBR works on a 32 bit addressing system so naturally, 2^32*512B gives you 2.199TB which is how we get to the 2TB storage cap on MBR. But consider those AF drives, which generally have 4096 Byte sectors. In theory we could get 2^32*4096B = 17.596TB in storage. There's no point in actually putting this into practice realistically but would it be possible? Currently those drives will emulate the 512B sector system by putting 8 512B virtual sectors on the 4096B physical sector allowing applications and OSs to function normally. Only problem is, you're still limited by the 2.199TB cap as discussed earlier. So this begs the questions, what would be involved in getting a system to run 4096B MBR? Or is it only possible on paper? Thoughts?

Hello, First post on the forum, so trying to get it right. I want to participate in the folding @ home month with LTT. I tried to install the client on an old Client, I run Ubuntu 18.04 (32bit). I can't find a client to download for the 32bit version. The only thing I find is the fahcontrol. I hope someone can help me try find something i would be really thankful. Cheers DerEichler

Hi, I have a question about the game Lineage 2. I wanted to know if i could improve the fps in this game, from what i have heard it is a really old game with 32bit and rely mostly on single cpu core. I checked my task manager and it was only using max 50% of my cpu on my 4670k and only uses 50% of my gpu at max settings in most crowded area running 20-30 fps max. My system is 4670k at 4.2ghz, 980ti, 24gb ram and game installed on raid0 ssd, win 10 home 64bit. I wanted to know if there is a way to increase the fps and if there is a way for this 32bit application to use more than 2 cores at a time. Thank you,

I cannot afford a macbook but I want to learn swift programming language. I have a 32bit Ubuntu Budgie Dell laptop. Is it possible to do swift programming there ? Or even on windows 10 ?

I was pondering doing a reinstall of Windows XP on an old computer I have, but I was pondering if Windows Update was going to allow the old updates to be installed, or if support's been cut to the point where WU doesn't work on it anymore? It's an old system and there's no point moving it to one of the newer OSes, it would just be handy to have it working better than it does currently for a week, but I don't want to have it totally back at square 1 if I can help it.

My laptop is a core i5 2430M with Windows 10 Enterprise and 6GB of DDR3 RAM. On the "system" page, it tells me that i am running 64bit and a 64bit based processor. However I try running my applications and they are on 32bit. It never gave me the options of installing a 64 or a 32bit version of that program. Does anyone have a solution for this? -
Yes I have just purchased a new desktop that run 64bit windows 10 yet all the programs I download default to 32bit. How can I fix this error because I cannot run some games because of this?

solved.

Hi everyone, I just have some questions about how to install the 64-Bit of Windows 10 on a machine that previously ran 64-Bit Windows 7. I am planning to use the Windows 10 download tool from Microsoft, but I am unsure of which version to download, the 32-Bit version or the 64-Bit? Also, I want to UPGRADE but choose the options to NOT keeping any files or programs (basically a fresh install). How can I make sure that it will install into 64-Bit? The system is quite old, Core 2 Duo E8400, 3GB of RAM (TBH, not even sure if DDR3 or DDR2 but most likely the former) which I am going to expand/upgrade and a Seagate Barracuda 160GB HDD. Thanks for any help! -
Hey, I am building a new computer this year and I was wandering about losing programs when switching OS. I currently own windows 7 professional 32bit and in my new computer I would like a 64bit OS (for more RAM). When I look up about doing this it says that I will loose all my files. This is alright since most of the important stuff is stored online. But the thing I'm worried abut is that when I loose my files, will I also loose my office 2010? I need this application but can't really afford buying office professional again. Is there anyway way I can somehow upgrade my OS to a 64bit version (I don't mind windows 7 or 8) without also losing this program? Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

So assuming I will never upgrade my system to 4GB of ddr2 memory, Would you agree it would be better just to install 32bit version of windows? I know it will save space on my already not to big 80GB hard drive and more importantly I think it will be more lean with using the only 2GB of memory available? Would I be correct if I went with a Windows 7 os... I know I could even go with Win 8 for better memory usage even still. This is an old system which would only be used as a HTPC. Thank you for your advice. Update - I may even skip an antivirus since this is not a critical machine to save even more memory usage -
Firstly, my version of the game is running as 32bit and with DX9. Is there a way to use DX11 or is this not recommended? I am also finding my GTX 970 utilisation not to go over 80% and usually sits at about 50% while playing. I have Vsync disabled and with all settings maxed out I'm getting about 65fps. Why is my gpu utilisation not 100 ? All my other games are running DX11.

So my mom has a PC that is now I think 8 years old, and she has a nice LG monitor, HD, but her PC has VGA..... Issue: Instal of the AMD drivers always failed OS: Windows Vista 32bit RAM: 3GBs 1330mhz Motherbored: Asus Model unknown CPU: Intel Pentium dual cpu E2180 2GHz HDD: Seagate Baracuda 500GB 7200RPM I was going to instal her my old HD 7570, So she could get a lil performance boost and true HD as shes basically using sub-HD video. Any options, tips or anything would be great, The video card worked by the way just driver instal failed.

This post is just about the mobile side of things. When I saw @LinusTech's video "32-bit vs 64-bit Computers & Phones as Fast As Possible" in my subscription box I thought "oh good, now I'll just be able to link to this video as soon as someone spreads misinformation about 64bit being useless oh phones". Then I watched the video and sad sadly disappointed. Well, that's wrong. Sorry Linus. Just a simple recompile to AArch64 will in fact give your application a substantial performance increase (will vary from app to app). Both you and I like Anand so I will link to his excellent comparison. It is far more likely this time around actually. The "problem" with 64bit on desktops is that they want to maintain backwards compatibility. That won't be nearly as big of an issue on mobile. Microsoft, Apple and Google are not afraid to leave people who don't upgrade out in the cold. Apple has already moved the iPad and iPhone to 64bit. Let's say Apple will support all their phones for 4 years. That means that in about 3 years they won't support any 32bit hardware anymore. All the first party apps are already 64bit. Microsoft has shown that they are willing to completely dump support even faster than 4 years, so I don't see them having a problem dictating that "okay, from now on everything has to be 64bit". Android is kind of a mess so I have no idea how that might play out, but I am sure of one thing. The sooner we get 64bit, the sooner we will be 64bit only. People change phones far more often than they change their desktop. Or maybe, you're the one who has jumped on the "64bit is useless because I don't understand it!" bandwagon that is trying to compare the transition to 64bit on mobile to the transition to 64bit on the desktop. For certain workloads, many of which you're doing on a regular basis on your smartphone, the move to 64bit will bring a decent performance increase. Viewing photos, encryption (including but not limited to the one in the iPhone's finger print scanner, and SSL), compressing/decompressing archives and basically anything that uses floats will get a pretty good performance increase. I am pretty sure most people use apps that use those things every day. Yes, you are correct in saying that it isn't because of the 64bit memory addressing space, but it is because of the move to ARMv8, which is 64bit. On phones the choice is ARMv7 instructions and 32bit, or ARMv8 instructions and 64bit. I have no doubt in my mind that people will watch this video and think that the move to 64bit in phones is useless, when it will actually be a huge step forward. I guess you could say this video is throwing the baby out with the bath water. Not to mention that we will soon have 4GB of RAM in phones and tablets and by that time we will need 64bit. And before anyone says "there is no reason for it", yes there is. iOS devices has major issues because of the low amount of RAM (1GB). Moving to 2GB would remove a lot of crashes and improve performance. The move to 3GB would increase performance on devices with high resolution screens (like the retina iPads and possibly the new, bigger iPhone) because you can dedicate more as VRAM. 4GB and beyond would help even more with the VRAM, and also be able to keep things cached for longer, and allow for more advanced apps. We are already seeing devices with proper multi tasking, like having multiple windows open at the same time on your tablet and that can benefit from more RAM as well. To summarize I will quote Anand again.

So, my friend is currently running his computer on a Windows 7 32-Bit operating system. He wants windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit from G2A https://www.g2a.com/windows-8-professional-32-64-bit-cd-key-global.html So his question is, if he gets that 64 bit Windows 8.1, can he still install it even though he has a 32 bit windows 7?
