You may be right about the clean install. I completely forgot, but I had trouble with my computer for weeks when I did that last time. I had to do some digging to figure out what you were talking about with the ram. If you don't use the EXPO/XMP profiles the ram defaults to the native speed...

I t doesn't have the EXPO, it has the XMP instead. But isn't that for overclocking? I don't really mess around with that.

I am transferring from a Samsung drive to another Samsung drive. They have a program that handles the transfer for you, you just hit a button and let it go. As for windows 11... I hate it, it sucks. I tried it on someone else's computer and the interface is awful. I may actually try Linux Mint...

I'm building a custom PC for work because my old one is getting kind of sluggish since I built it in 2013. Can some of you who have more experience with this kind of thing tell me if there are any problems I should be aware of with this build? Also, this build is for a workhorse, not a gaming...

I have 9 AV devices that I wish to connect to a single TV all at the same time, only there are no 9 way AV switchers. Is it possible for me to link multiple AV switchers together to solve this problem?

Thanks

So if I had a floppy drive installed on my computer and windows 98 installed, I could play ms-dos games?

I want to be able to play the original copies of vintage games from multiple eras. I do not want to use virtual machines, I will be purchasing original unused installation discs for each os.

I want to install MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 7 all on one computer, on a single 1 TB hard drive. First off, is this even possible? Will there be any compatibility issues? If it not possible, can it be done from multiple hard drives? Will there be any...

I just confirmed with Newegg that I can return the card, and will do so soon. Thanks for the help!

Would 600 watts do it?

I am considering retuning my 7770 for a 7870, because the 7870 benchmarks much higher on games than the 7770. It will only cost about $30-$50 more. Should I do this? I am looking at the msi, sapphire, and asus versions of this card. My top pick is the msi card because it is cheaper. Help would...

So I would actually install the windows 95 os onto my computer. Does that mean that I would have two operating systems running at once? Or would windows 95 replace windows 7?

Is it possible install a program on a Windows 7 computer to allow it to play games from previous/other versions of windows, such as windows xp, 95, and vista; also, older systems like DOS?If so, which program, and where may it be obtained?

I don't know; as I said before I'm new to this. PC partpicker.com says my estimated wattage will be 274w. As for the graphics card , I found this on sale for $130: SAPPHIRE 100354OC-2L Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card. Out of...
