No you haven't because such a machine doesn't exist.kfzhu1229 wrote: I have seen people running Windows 7 on 570E with PII 226mhz and 512mb of RAM and still use it...
Maximum RAM for these systems is 320MB. Physical - not theoretical - limitation.kfzhu1229 wrote:Then it is a 570. I think is some kind of combination that is little bit less than 512mb.
I'd be hesitant to run anything newer than W2K on machine with these specs, but that's me.For example, my 600 officially allows 32+2x128mb=288mb. However, the unofficial is 32+128+256 low-density=416mb... I have tested with a 256mb low-density stick (But PC133) it works just fine even under the very first revision of 600 BIOS that does not come with ACPI therefore does not work with Windows 7...

Mainly the fact that XP is easier to go wireless with for folks like me (brains like mush) than is 2000. I also like the look of XP better than 2000. Granted, the changes aren't radical but XP just appeals to me more aesthetically. Wireless connectivity is a huge issue, though.Sheer curiosity on my end: what exactly don't you like about W2K? I'd argue that it's a much better fit for these systems.
Not really. TPFC is your friend.aptivaboy wrote:
One last question regarding cooling, are there any solutions if the A series tends to run warmer?
I've never tried fitting an A31p 2.0 fan into an A30/p. I can send you one to test out and see whether the temps improve. No aftermarket cooling solutions are available.Are there more efficient aftermarket fans available to retrofit for my A30?
Not unless you want to kill the machine *really* fast.Maybe a laptop cooling pad as a matter of course?

I would think that a fan pad blowing more air into the cooling ports would be a good thing. It certainly helps with my Core I7 when the heat goes up during high end renderings.Not unless you want to kill the machine *really* fast.
You're about to fundamentally alter the cooling properties of a 15-year-old system belonging to a platform that has *known, proven and documented issues* with dying from thermal cycling.aptivaboy wrote:I would think that a fan pad blowing more air into the cooling ports would be a good thing.Not unless you want to kill the machine *really* fast.
I have timed it, a fresh OEM SP2 takes one minute, generally used SP3 takes 1.5, and heavily used takes 2.5 minutes to boot after IBM logo to the systemajkula66 wrote:Takes 2.5 of what to get where?kfzhu1229 wrote:, Dothan Sonoma Pentium M 2.26 takes 2.5...
Machines these age do not have efficient vent holes in the base. And as long as it is Pentium III - M Tualatin it works just fine with TPFancontrol set the fan to start at 60 degrees and stop at 42. The Pentium III - M Tualatin was the most efficient processor at its time - much more efficient than its predecessor Coppermine and successor Pentium 4 - Maptivaboy wrote:I would think that a fan pad blowing more air into the cooling ports would be a good thing.

No. While TPFC directly affects the EC settings and can be set per user's own preferences, it must be installed and ran from the Windows environment.aptivaboy wrote:I take it I can get to the TPF fan control through the BIOS?
Works fine in W2K on my A31p.kfzhu1229 wrote: I am not sure about its functionality in Windows 2000 though as all my TPFancontrol compatible TPs are running Windows 7 or 10... It does not say support of W2k officially though...
