Ironically I have yet to try to run any ROMs on it, as I've been focused primarily on the overall interface. It may take another day to get the registration code, however. I'll probably ask the friend who gave me the sound card if he has a 3D card laying around (I would be somewhat surprised if he didn't).Īlso, I did finally put the $25 forward for Maximus Arcade. While not totally necessary, it definitely shouldn't hurt.
The only thing I don't currently have a plan for is a 3D card. Those two should be the right kind and should give the machine 1 GIG of RAM. I'm stopping off at my storage center in order to pull 2 chips out of a blueberry iMac (remember those?). I was unsure if it would transfer without issue, but it did, and I was up and running with XP in a couple of hours.Ī good friend gave me a sound card he had from some time back, and it installed with no issues. I had a copy I bought many years ago for use with Virtual PC, which I haven't run in years. It came with Windows 2000 Server, 256 MB of RAM, and no sound or 3D card.īeing I didn't even have a single login for the Win 2000 Server, I formatted the thing & installed XP Home. Its a Gateway PIII 1.2 GHz, which isn't the fastest of machines, but not to shabby either. And I now have a somewhat decent machine to call my own.
She asked if I wanted one, and I said yes. My wife gave me a call saying her work was getting rid of some old computers that were bought as backup servers (which in turn were never brought into use). It has been many months since my last update, and longer since progress was made, but that changed at the end of last week.
