I found this Dell Precision m6600 on eBay:

IDK where you can find a good GPU.

NOTE: The seller put Windoze 10 on it (what a bad decision!) but you can always replace it.

Moving back may be easier than you think. What are your computer's specs? I have a couple of PCs. Heres a list: Laptop Dell Inspiron 5579: i5-8250U, 16GB DDR4, UHD 620, 500GB SATA SSD. This can run 7 but the touchpad is horrible on it. better off on 8.x on this one. This one is currently on Win10 2...

for me at least windows 7 is much faster then windows vista or at least on my e6430 it is i haven't tested it on other hardware to see if its any better but for me vista is really slow-legacyfan :) That's because you have a bad HDD. Vista hates bad HDDs, especially Seagate HDDs. I'm speaking from e...

Back in 2018, I got a 24" S-IPS 1920x1200 HP LP2475w with a March 2013 manufacture date sealed in the box. With it a lightly used VA 1600x1200 HP LP2065. With the monitor arm, I spent like $65 total. God bless that ebay seller lmao. You can pry 16:10 from my dead, cold fingers 8-) the seller n...

This topic was originally created on MSFN by someone (who exactly, I don't know). Here you can say which TV shows/series you are watching. I am watching the IPL (Indian Premier League). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Premier_League EDIT : Because the IPL 2021 has been suspended as on 6 May, ti...

Looks quite nice and segregated, but 1366 by 768 is kinda crappy on 15 inch+ displays, from my personal experience.

Obscure fact. You were able to log on to your Microsoft account on Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7 untill about late 2020. Upon logging in you would be presented with this inbox outlook on IE9!.png I tried this on IE9 and it works!! Outlook looks best on IE8/9 and functionality is also not comprom...

Thanks for the tip @k24a1!

>I don't know of anything else that could keep it cool while, say, running a Windows 7 VM with 4 cores allocated and browsing the web and writing up a document or two, or when editing images in GIMP or Photoshop. Any suggestions anyone? You might be running into a bit of a cooling barrier. Seeing a...

I actually didn't know we had OT boxes in this forum. Mind you, which update level are you at? March 2021, but it was the same story with all updates upto December 2019 installed. Edit : The same issue has been reported here on MSFN, which has be corrected by the poster, but I dunno how it was reso...

Remote access of other PCs is another task, where you could need a large monitor. Else, your customers surprise you with their "current" resolutions. Using Windows 98 with a 16:9 monitor was a bad desicion I can recall, because with some games, the screen got confused and chose the wrong ...

If you want to brag about your specs, please don't make off topic posts in other threads.
Sorry if I'm being too harsh, I really don't want to be like Dixel Draker.

Have any of you checked the extended kernel thread recently? Sticky notes will take longer due to reimplementation of registry functions in kernel32, but calc and paint are working. Oh yes, I checked it just now, but whenever I try to install the Feb. 2021 release of the extended kernel, on reboot,...

Do you even know what issue I was talking about? This post of yours makes zero sense.

Hello all, I have a Samsung SyncMaster 740N 17 inch monitor with a resolution of 1280 by 1024, which I am doubtful of whether to keep or sell to buy another monitor. It has no dead pixels, no bad resolution, nothing. I need a monitor to use for my desktop computer, which I will build soon (but idk w...

Vista Ultimate x64 on my main machine (Dell Latitude e5420).

Office 2007 Enterprise all the way :3 2010 is a close second for me. Access/Outlook were improved in 2010, but I preferred the interface and activation method otherwise in 2007 I too prefer 2007's activation method, but 2010's dark theme looks better than 2007's on Vista IMO, and that's what is my ...

Hello all, I have an MSDN ISO of Office 2010 RTM (14.0.4760.1000) whose x86 variant has SP2 slipstreamed into it, while the x64 variant does not have it. Now I don't need the x64 variant, but I don't know how to remove it from the install media in the right way. May I know how it can be removed?

Okay, so I found out that replacing the chipset could break more things than anticipated, so I am considering installing an i7-2860qm (fastest Sandy Bridge mobile 45 W CPU) and undervolting it, but I don't know of anything else that could keep it cool while, say, running a Windows 7 VM with 4 cores ...

Hello all, this is something that has been making my mind boggle. All of AMDs Ryzen CPUs (right from 1st gen Summit Ridge) officially support Windoze 10 and Linux only, but even the most recent AMD GPUs (e.g, Radeon RX 6700XT and 6800XT) support Win7 and have drivers for it on their official support...

There's actually one component of 2010 x64 that doesn't work on XP x64. It's one of the obscure ones like Groove or something. It's OneNote. On attempting to launch it, it throws an error like this: [don't know the exact message displayed] "The program cannot start because the Desktop Experien...

Hello all, I have been experiencing this issue lately on my Win8.0 Pro x64 secondary laptop where it refuses to update. Windows Update shows error code 80072EFE on trying to update. I know about SHA-2 and discontinuation of update servers for Windows 2K, XP and Vista and that stuff, but has such a t...

You misunderstood me. I thanked him because he said that he likes the Aero style

Very informative!!
wondering if such a guide could be made for users of Intel desktop and mobile CPUs newer than Skylake 6th Gen?

Hello Vista master race, today I would like to present you the complete Windows Vista SSD optimisation guide for getting the best out of your SSD on your favourite OS even though it does not support SSDs properly. With these optimisations, your Vista install can be as fast or faster than Windows 7 o...

....Also, perhaps a possibility is buying a better cooler from a different laptop, if that is feasible. Sadly, no, that is not an option. So, I am considering either buying a Dell Latitude e5430 (Ivy Bridge counterpart of the e5420) or swapping the e5430's mobo into my e5420's chassis and putting i...

Only disadvantage? slower as compared to previous versions. Oh and Office 2010 is easy to pirate 2010 has always been faster compared to earlier or later versions (2003 and 2007 closely follow) for me on everything except for Windoze 10 (which is horrendously slow itself while also making other app...

Hello all, I have been facing this issue lately where the Windows Vista startup sound would not play on a cold boot (orb animation shows up but without sound) after adding multiple user accounts. Also, some other sounds like error tones, notification sounds, etc. refuse to play whereas UAC sounds an...

Hello all, I have seen that the Vista versions of some built-in apps like Snipping Tool and Sticky Notes lack in quality a little or they don't look neat and polished to match Vista's beautiful Aero interface. See how the Vista Sticky Notes app looks: vista sticky notes.png Eurgh, that looks unpolis...
