Even better than the above.ĥ) Q6600 3.2ghz, P45 chipset, 4gb DDR2 800, Radeon 6850. This played everything up to 2009 titles as you would expect.Ĥ) X3320 3.0ghz, P35 chipset, 2gb DDR2 800, Radeon 3870X2. A more powerful AGP card such as a X1950, 3850, 4650 would have fixed this easily making it usable for games until 2007 even.ģ) Pentium E5700 3ghz, P965 chipset, 2gb DDR2 800, Nvidia GTS250, 500gb Samsung F3. Forget about running Oblivion or Call of Juarez from 2006 on this. Played HL2 and Far Cry 1280x1024 near 60 fps. CPU performance was around an Athlon 64 2ghz, which is OK but I felt it still bottlenecked the 6800GS a little. This was much faster than you'd think compared with rig 1), the HT and near 1000mhz system bus really held with making the system feel modern on the desktop. Conclusion: Usable for games up to 2003, but it fails the HL2 and Far Cry XP era defining limited useful timespan due to cpu and gpu bottlenecks.Ģ) Pentium 4 Prescott 3.6ghz, 865PE chipset, 3gb DDR400, 160gb SATA, Nvidia 6800GS. Struggled with 2004 titles like Far Cry and HL2, which were only playable on low settings 1024x768. This could handle games up to 2003 brilliantly, except HALO. Draw what you may from them.ġ) Pentium 4 Northwood 'B' 3ghz, SiS 645 chipset, 1.5gb DDR 333, Nvidia Ti 4600, 80gb IDE hard disk. Perhaps I can share my personal experiences based on some of the XP rigs which I've owned to help with your decision. Importantly, it should be something I can connect with and feel a certain nostalgia for. Bioshock/ Crysis), multi-cores and would run best on a modern Win7/8 machine.
From 2007 onwards games started supporting DX10 widely (e.g. play XP era defining games like HL2, Far Cry and FEAR.

It should have enough CPU + GPU power to handle stuff up to 2006 in full HD, i.e. My personal aims with an XP rig are as follows: Don't wanna dual boot either.I'd just keep it in a retro rig for nostalgia and good ol' times sake. Personally, I wouldn't waste my Sandy Bridge-e and Ivy Bridge systems running an antiquated OS. You hit the nail on the head in para 1 of your post. Maybe i could throw together a cheap A64 PC, or just buy and old OEM one and modify it a bit? I think the Athlon 64 CPUs were probably the best when it came to single core CPUs (better than the P4).

I can run those games on my current i5 3570k gaming PC ?. Later XP games usually work fine with Vista/7 and made use of more than 1 CPU core. I think a fast single core CPU is good enough for old WinXP games. I don't want XP on my main system and it'll still have issues with older XP games due to multi-core problems etc. The only thing that bothers me about the old Athlon XP is the lack of SSE2 ?. I'll go for it if it ends up being cheap enough. Massive Chieftec Dragon ATX case (probably a bit too big for my liking!) I'm actually watching a complete WinXP setup on ebay (pick up only about 10 minutes from me ?):ĪMD Athlon XP-M 2600+ (clocked as a 3200+)ħ68MB DDR RAM (will definitely need upgrading to 2GB ?)

I just checked and seen that it is a game from 2002 (Elder Scrolls thing, right?).Īs I said, I realy have no idea about the game itself, but a game from 2002 on a windows 98 system is really a good idea? Shouldn't you be trying to put together a decent XP machine, with a P4 mobo and as much DDR RAM as you want, which are a dime a dozen? This might solve all your retro related potantial problems. I never heard of Morrowind before (don't like swords and sorcery much).
