Hey there! I'm Rig from '05 or older. My first games were BF1942 and Cs 1.6. It works fine with the old HDD we got when we bought it, and we didn't have to install a new WinXP. The system shows it's running WinXP from 2002. Check out some pictures!

Add cable control panel -> network settings > ... This section is self-explanatory. Also, DDR2?

DDR2 is okay. Would you like pictures of the entire setup? It’s not inside the case—I saw it without one.

It should function properly unless the drivers are absent. The simplest solution is upgrading to Windows 7.

You're right about DDR3 being outdated, but what are you up to with DDR2?

Sure, I located a connection method. Would you like images of an 8+ year-old PC being pulled from the basement?

I pull this setup out from a dusty container. I’m really pumped about the things I used as a kid: Docs on the horizon.

I understand your situation, there are some C2D components ready for installation on an HTPC.

What is HTCP? You're planning to run BF4 on this PC you found, and you've upgraded your graphics card from Intel's integrated chip to a Radeon HD5450. Your brother previously had an R9 280 GPU.

This setup is going to be a disaster for the device (if it survives). Do you want me to check if the RAM is sufficient?
