Using it as my daily driver in 2024 lol. As a student it’s still perfect enough for me. Hardware upgrades: 6gb ram 258 gb transcend 230s Sata ssd External Speakers, keyboard, mouse Software: Revi os windows 10 Takes 20 sec to boot and great for watching online lecture, social media, taking notes etc😂
If you can find one that has the PCIe riser you can add a NIC. It will work fine as a Pfsense router if you don’t need PPPoE or have a fast fiber connection.
@@nelizmastr I found a decent second hand t620 but the seller has no idea about the number of PCI slots on the Mobo. Let's say I do end up with a t620 with one NIC and no additional PCIe slots to add another one, is there any way to get around that (other than setting up a VLAN)? Thanks for the swift reply btw.
I recently got this motherboard. It’s hell to set it up, whatever hard drive I try to use it either won’t recognise it, or it gives me a boot device inaccessible error. IDE auto detect will detect some drives, others I am setting up manually but it seems to be a problem in general. Any ideas?
I have thi exact Macbook. Mint with the box and everything it cme with. Even the remote control that still worked with original battery. Great video. Wonder how much these are worth MINT and Fully working perfectly?
I have this server. Have tested Proxmox on it, ran ok. Tested also TrueNAS Core and TrueNAS Scale, ran fine. But the biggest problem is the 8GB RAM limit. I wonder if it is possible to increase this in some way. Any suggestions?
I couldn't help but notice that you have a 1600 MHz RAM installed while this model officially supports 1333 MHz RAM. Is that it true this working without problem?
Oooh neat, I'm glad to know you can run Windows 10 on this - I was trying the other day without any luck. But yeah it's slog to try and use this for browsing the net - though it's still a good machine for running 90s videogames and some 2000s videogames on low.
@@nelizmastrYeah, I know it. I think Dutch people, who speaks English, sounds kinda like Native English. Hiding accent? No, I didn't notice any accent hiding tbh
Really late to the party, but i found one, and its making a beeping noise that lasts over 10 seconds. Theres no video, and its REALLY loud (sounds like a vacuum ). Any thoughts?
If it has iLO/LO try to access that and see what the reason could be. If it doesn’t, open it up and verify it has a CPU and RAM and that everything looks connected properly.
Thanks for the blast from the past. I had an MSI 865PE Neo2 motherboard for my Socket 478 system. P4 3.0 GHz system, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM, with a Radeon 9800 for graphics. Storage had a 80GB SATA HDD as the primary, and a 200GB SATA HDD as the secondary. Also had a Sound Blaster Audigy with Firewire included (the mobo didn't have Firewire included), and a Wifi PCI card for network connectivity. Complete with DVDROM and CDRW.
@@nelizmastr I've maxed out my presario 866 as far as it can, aside from that cache stick. 1 site says they have it... for 200 dollars... marked down from 364! Lol I've got the same dx4100 as you and all the 32mb edo sticks it will take and play with. It amazed me what a performance increase came from the sx2 it came with to the dx4. Seemed as fast as any modern mech-hd pc while loading 95.. Thank you for making this video. I've always liked the way 93/94 compaq looked. Almost like some 90s art deco in so ways. But it was my first real non ibm 5150 pc.. They are getting far rarer.. can't find much about the presario 800 series. Especially compared to these deskpros and especially the laptops/hp-compaq.
@@klemmfixer Haven’t actually tried it to this day. I have had the 486 online through my main switch and that worked great. I still have the hub though!
No. You’ll need a late 2007 or early 2008 for those systems to work due to unsupported graphics in the 2006 models. The ATI X1600 is only officially supported up to Lion 10.7.5.
I was running one of these daily from 2016 to about 2018. Mine bulge too and they've yet to let out the magic smoke. I ran a old version of chrome (v49?) on XP. I even had steam installed but all I remember playing was Undertale. Idk if you're using ps/2 because it's convenient and universal but the bios supports USB keyboards too. I love my machine because it was in the first PC I've diagnosed successfully; it turned out the agp card was shot so I stole one from another PC downstairs. In total I think my board has had a year of uptime since 2016.
Thanks for the detailed video, it helped convince me to buy the Prime N100I-D D4, which I am now not so sure was a good thing.. 🙄 The mobo never detected the M.2 SSD and after a lot of troubleshooting with Asus support I ordered another M.2 SSD from another brand to continue troubleshooting myself. The second M.2 SSD was not detected either so I concluded (with Asus support) that it was likely a faulty mobo. Got a new mobo from Amazon and just connected everything including the first M.2 SSD and of course it is not detected on this mobo either.. 😩 Swapped out the M.2 card to the second one and neither this is detected by the mobo. Am I going crazy or am I missing something? Any suggestions?
Excellent! I've been a long time holdout because my MBPro 2015 has been fine for the little bit I do on it. Now in 2024 I can get a MacBook Air M1 for around $400 on Ebay so it's a fantastic price now. Thanks for this useful comparison.
J'ai ce serveur hp ml 115. Windows server 2003 + Windows xp. Cela n'as pas été facile de trouver les drivers. Ma prochaine étape upgrader le disque dur et remplir la tour.
That happens more often. They list the same limit for DDR4 and DDR5 and it’s been proven especially in the pre-built mini pc space that 32GB is a very common and well performing configuration.
Very nice, I am planning to build an opnsense firewall with this board, a PicoPSU and an SPF+ network card. Even though the CPU is passively cooled I will probably still put a couple of slow fans in a 2U case to move some air over the finstack and network adapter.
With a typical low load on a firewall appliance, just a few case fans should be fine, as long as there is some airflow. I’m still using the board myself and it works very well.

How did you install mavericks ? I have the same mac and I'm running Lion atm
Never seen an Integrated Riva TNT.. that's the genertion of gpu for the time i'd consider useful to have gone through the trouble of motherboard complexity to implement.. Rage 3D not good enough. I have a Compaq Prosignia with a 440BX it came with a Riva TNT and PIII 450. In 08 after 3 years of ownership I had donor PC with a bad mobo I took a Katmai 600MHz PIII and a TNT 2 Ultra.. I wish I had kept the OG TNT but I had to put parts back into the non working PC to give it back and say couldnt fix it (honestly couldnt) and knew they werent pc literate.. kind of crappy of me but I was 16 then so meh. I still have this Prosignia its the oldest PC I have that still works and I plan to never get rid of it with its AGP. 3 SD Ram slots, many PCI and two ISA slots its quite cool with the venerable 440BX.
Integrated graphics sure were wild in the 90’s. The most exotic boards I have have TNT and TNT2, and one system with onboard Compaq QVision VLB. The typical VIAgra, S3 and Intel video chips weren’t all that interesting, though early S3 chipsets were pretty capable (like the S3 ViRGE DX and GX).
Does this Mother board have NVMe or does not? I would like to split the m.2 slots to 4 SATA slots is it possible with this? (the asrock n100 know it, but it has only external DC powersupply support)
@@nelizmastr may I ask, maybe you know this: that means it can run all 6 sata ports (maybe but slower) or less sata ports (as I'm seeing the "x2 mode") full speed?
It will run all ports, but it’ll be limited to the 2 PCIe 3 lanes, meaning a maximum of around 1GB/s which is plenty for SATA harddisks, and in mosr cases for cheap SATA SSDs in a RAID5
@@nelizmastr thanks, for your time. I appreciate it. I'm not very savvy in these part of things. Now it is clear. I thought only that many HDD-s as many lines... but it about the band with... as far as I can reach 70-200MB/s it is well beyond ok
Before my Core2Duo Mac Mini died (or the PSU did) it was already unusable for RU-vid and Netflix because it neither had the CPU power or hardware acceleration to decode the video. It was great for running emulators, as a music only media centre and I half made some music on it with Pro Tools LE and Reason but even with 8GB, an SSD boot drive and an external 7200rpm FireWire drive, it wasn’t very usable with later OS versions. Especially as I couldn’t even use Pro Tools LE anymore or the Mbox2 it came with using the last OS it supported. It felt super fast at first when I’d had a G3 Desktop and Dual 800Mhz Quicksilver G4 before it though. A guitarist friend uses a 2009 MacBook Pro with 8GB and an SSD boot drive with GarageBand to record entire songs including mastering using only an USB interface, his looper and outboard effects so depending on your needs, they’re still useful systems.
Late to the party, but I will upgrade my Lattitude with an SSD to try out Linux on it, before a very possible full migration once support for Windows 10 ends next year. Thanks for the video!
I used Windows XP and 7 on my EEE PC 901, since March 14, 2019, it runs on Windows 10. I'm going to have to quit W10 because they're going to stop updates. I'll have to install a Linux but I don't know which one to choose yet. My configuration: 2GB RAM and 120GB SSD. What Linux do you recommend ?
@@nelizmastr Thanks for the tip. About Lubuntu, I think it's not a good choice because now it doesn't support 32bits. I've discovered G4OS, I think I'll go for the latter when W10 support ends.
