    I'm not to sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but I'll try and hopefully someone will be able to answer my question.

    I have a Pentium 4 with an ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe, and I am unable to install Win 8, 8.1 & 10 because my CPU does not support NX bit. I'm trying the cheapest way so I can run Win10 with my older PCI cards.

    Can anyone tell me if I purchased a Pentium D processor, purchased a MoBo for the Pentium D processor, which has XD bit (which is supposedly be an NX bit implementation), and used my older PCI cards (an Adaptec SCSI card 39160 - Ultra160 SCSI (they are really expensive)), will I be able to install and run Windows 10?

    I would really appreciate it very much if anyone can assist me with this issue or maybe suggest an alternative inexpensive way of running Windows 10.
    Thank you in advance.

    I have an LGA 775 with a core 2 duo in, can't remember the exact number off hand.
    This is in a Abit IP 35 Pro XE. It runs win 8.1 and 10 no bother at all.

    I recon you could pick summet up like those fairly cheap.

    Edit

    Sorry it ain't a core 2 duo but a Core 2 Quad Q9300. Still, I only paid around £30 for it.

    Thank you for your input! Can you tell me if I can use the same type of memory I'm using with my Pentium 4, and does is have PCI slots so I can use my old card(s)?

    You really give me hope, that is until I'm working full time so I can build my i7.
    Thank You.

    Your P4 will be socket 775, what ever RAM you have will fit another board, DDR2 as I recall.
    Yes it has PCI slots.
    No onboard graphics though.
    6 SATA ports.
    It even has a slot for summet called a "floppy" :eek:

    If you have a running machine with a P4 and your going to upgrade, don't bother getting another old 775 board. Save your brass for the i7 build, what ever socket you choose.
