So I just got a toaster laptop for taking notes and shit for when I start college in September. But I figure I might as well put some games on it for if I'm out of town or something and don't have access to my desktop.
Now, when I say toaster, I mean TOASTER. This might be the toastiest toaster you ever saw.
The speccy doesn't actually show the details of the processor. It's a dual core 1GHz.
I'm gonna need some creativity here.
>I'm gonna need some creativity here.
Literally just pick anything from before 2006-2007.
...
And I posted a thumbnail somehow
Planescape: Torment
Marathon Trilogy
Any Command and Conquer up to Tiberian Sun
GTA and GTA 2
>It's a dual core 1GHz.
didn't know such a slow dual core can even exist
>they're are literal children browsing Sup Forums right now
We should've killed Sup Forums before they brought all these newfags here.
I'm 21. I mostly just thought it would be a fun thread to just recommend old games. I've been on Sup Forums far longer than I should have been allowed to though
Yeah I was surprised too
Thanks, I've always intended to play Planescape, I just keep forgetting. Now I have no excuse
Mount and blade: Warband
Rome total war
Starcraft
Warcraft 3
Oldschool runescape
Probably emulators of gba, snes and ps1
what kind of games do you play?
>this kid actually installed windows 10 which must kill performance on this pc
Nigger install win xp 64 bit or a linux distro
I'll play anything. Although I've never been particularly good at RTS, I love turn based strategy.
The computer just came like this, got it used for $30. Previous owner probably just clean installed it on here before selling it. It has a Windows 7 sticker on it so I'll probably put that on here when I get the chance
Majesty Gold is awesome
Then in that case you might be able to play some old PC games, I suggest The operative no one lives forever
Cool, thanks
Old PC games like NOLF run like shit on Windows 10. He'll have to use a wrapper like dgVoodoo2 to get a playable framerate but even then that requires decent hardware.
Windows 10 is actually more lightweight than 7 and uses better the gpu.
Yeah but hes switching back to windows 7
Not in my experience, ran like shit on my 2009 toshiba which had better specs than this kids
You're doing something wrong then
arstechnica.com
Diablo II.
>they are are
>children
(You).
I dont believe those results for one second with all the bloated apps in basic home installation. Maybe if it was the ltsb edition. I would also like to see what would happen once the ram hits its limit then goes to the HDD.
Im gonna test this for myself.
Is that the C2Q's idle temperature? I was considering getting one for a freedum loonix machine.
>Still using an HDD
SSD or get out, this machine outperforms any modern pc with mechanical drive on most tasks
Yeah, kinda, its an old pc
>Use an OS from 16 years ago
Security holes through the ass. The oldest Windows OS anyone should be using right now is Windows 7.
Not sure what you are talking about with Windows 10 killing performance. Windows 10 is pretty quick for me. I installed the OS on a SSD and I can get to the desktop within 30 seconds from power on. Wouldn't be surprised if people can boot faster but I don't see Windows 10 as slow.
On my actual desktop computer I'm on my desktop within 15 seconds of pressing the power button with my SSD
Most UEFI motherboards boot in that time from HDD in windows 10, on SSD should be faster some seconds faster
On windows 7? Takes me all of 5-6 seconds from cold boot straight to desktop. The animation doesn't even finish by the time I'm on desktop. You're doing something wrong.
That's because on windows 10 upon shutdown they don't really shut down, it's some bastardization between hibernate and shut down. Cold boot on windows 10 on a typical 5400RPM HDD or even a 7200HDD takes approximately 40 seconds.
My motherboard splash screen dicks around for a good 7-8 seconds. I bought a cheap mobo like a dumbass
