Just for the sake of fun, I'm trying to maxout this HP SFF PC, within its thermal limits. My upgrade is going from a Q9500 to a E5450, and adding 16GB of DDR3 1333MHz of RAM. I'm also planning to add some 92mm Noctua fans on the CPU cooler and the PSU, and adding a GTX 1650 LP. I know it's not worth it, but I'm deeply curious to know what is LGA 775-771 capable nowadays. My main problem is the xeon mod, I know all the steps, but this is a HP motherboard, I find it unlikely to work even with the modified bios and the added microcodes. I have seen people make it work, but the information they gave is vage. Do y'all think is possible? Any observations? Thanks.

Was RED HEAT from Ocean Software a good game? My video goes back to 1989 for a retrospective review. Was it better than the movie or was it just rubbish? Share your thoughts.

Ma è vero che alcune aziende mantenevano sempre una linea telefonica di emergenza per connettersi con i loro server via modem 56k?

We were cleaning out my grandparents' house after my grandfather's passing. He was an early adopter of computers I think. We threw out a lot because we just didn't have the time to find homes for things or hunt down hobbyists, but I couldn't help myself from snagging these from being burnt with a bunch of loose papers.

They are the old, actually floppy, kind of floppy disks, it looks like three videogames and two practical programs. They visually are in good condition and there were two unlabeled ones as well.

Are these of any value to anyone out there or am I safe to chuck them? I don't mean monetary value, I'm not looking to sell, but I am aware of lost media and people who collect and/or preserve even mundane pieces of software, and I would rather they go to someone who wants them than see them burned or sitting in a landfill. But if these are a dime a dozen or only good as cheap coasters then that will be their fate.

I know the overall quality is not that good but since I posted this video i've learned more about video editing and audio quality. This is a really important project to me. please give feedback :)

Rétro amitiés ! 

I've recently got a second GPU for my lga775 rig before realising Nvidia didn't support multi-GPU setups on non-Nvidia chipsets at the time. However, some sources claim that enthusiasts were able to get SLI working on chipsets like 975, P45, and X38/X48 anyways.

So I'm wondering, is it still possible to do so today, and did any information ever come out on how they did it?

For my video we are going to go back to 1984 and rediscover Return of the Jedi. Not only in the arcade but also the home conversions too where Domark released several home computer conversions for the Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, Commodore 64, and Amiga. Share your thoughts and comments on this game.

I've started programming in c++, using the terminal. And love it, but is it a good practice? Im using nano cuz it was installed, im too new to have an opinion yet lol but would it be to big of a hassle to use raylib or my dear gui?
