I hated those Athlon coolers. They were s**t-hard to mount (always careful to not damage the silicon die). The die itself was much too small to effectively transfer heat to the cooler, a heat spreader was not mounted. Good thing those times are over.
A friend of mine built his own pc many years ago with an athlon and it wouldn't turn on. So I checked it out and he had broken a corner of the cpu die off trying to put the cooler on the cpu. Fun times.
Been there, done that. Except that I was lucky, and the thing still worked. Also, I had some dents on my boards where I slipped with the screwdriver you had to mount the coolers' clips with. Socket A my ...
AMD sucked. apparently they are better now? I stick with Intel personally. I know all the stupid quirks.
I'm trying to think what my first ever was. probably mighty Pentium 2 450. everyone had Celeron 100 or something. I had a PII 450!
My first was an IBM XT clone with an 8088 4.77 mhz cpu with 640kb ram with CGA graphics and no hard drive.
For completeness sake: The oldest system I ever had: XT clone with 8086 CPU 4.77MHz, 512KiB RAM, CGA and two 5 1/4" floppy drives. Monochromatic monitor. I also owned an 8" floppy drive. Still have one such disk. The oldest system currently still in operable state is 80386SX 20MHz, 8MiB RAM, 512KiB video RAM. Runs DOS and Windows 95. 800x600 looks great on Full HD monitor.
Agreed, as the answer to the topic owner is: Don't bother, won't work. And if it will work, it won't be any fun.
that still has not yet happened. ask a moderator to lock this thread. topic owner or OP should definitely get a new PC instead of running Win10 on any socket 478 based Intel P4.
One more question; Do you think the present hardware is 'enough' for Windows10 Ltsc/Ltsb or the system needs some change in the hardware section e.i, processor and RAM? Asus support says the motherboard would support core2duo and core2quad till 3.16 GHz and drivers up to Windows 8.1 but not for Windows 10.
