That's amazing. A Spoiler half-hour boot time is just downright incredible. This kind of record needs to go up right next to the eight-Ghz P4...
I have to say...that's pretty amazingly sweet stuff. I wonder if this record will ever be broken, underclocking records now.
Sadly, this proves the statement made ages ago : Oh, you can run XP on a 1MHz CPU and 2-8MB ram, it'll just take an hour to boot.
Brillent! I thought my effort on a P200 was good, I did have 128mb of ram tho, hehehe, that must seem like a SUPER computer comapred to these guys, must say tho, how much free time do they have!? Regards GiGo
im glad to see someone had the idea of just doing it. I also thought that XP 'needed' a 333Mhz CPU or the like (But don't quote me on that)
And now, for the true retro-computing enthusiast, Microsoft is releasing a new version of its OS: Windows™ Old Skool.
Nope, the official microsoft line is a Pentium running at 266mhz. Still..that is the most amazing computer they have, puts my rig to shame
lol! ROFLMAO! i cannot stop laughing looking at those set ups... my oh my... i wonder if they can make it run on 1mhz rofl!
I remember being at school moaning about the insane system requirements for windows XP. I did actually have it running on a 166MHz Cyrix P.O.S along with 48MB RAM, had an uptime of 14 days acting as a router before the modem burped and killed the connection - only choice was to restart.
