    Those CPU-Z validations are impressive, s478 running Win10 is a proper retro-mod achievement. Agree with erpsterm35, a winver shot would confirm the build, and 1809 does seem like a sensible pick for hardware this old.

    though intel s478 cpus can only run 32bit/x86 Win10, not the 64bit/x64 version

    There's some rare, expensive IBM replacement part that apparently does 64-bit, but without NX (which is part of the AMD64 spec, but sure, Intel). I don't support this one, given it likely lacks more instructions needed, but 32-bit Windows 10 should work for whoever has this thing.

    The SL8JX myth is false. I had Bob Pony manage to get one and he told me it doesn't report NX at all. It does SSE3, but Prescott does that anyways.
