P4PE Mobo and Windows 8, Possible??
Hi,
I have an old PC here with the above mother board in it. I use it as a test bed. currently have Win XP and Win 7 on it. Would like to try Win 8 on it as it ran fine with the dev version earlier in the year. Now M$ say it won't work unless I enable PAE, NX or SSE2 most likely NX. I have looked thru the BIOS version 1005 but can't see anything like it . Any one been able to do this?? Thanx in advance.. |

Thanx in advance.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit "In the x86 architecture it was implemented by AMD, as NX bit, for use by its AMD64 line of processors, such as the Athlon 64 and Opteron." "After AMD's decision to include this functionality in its AMD64 instruction set, Intel implemented a similar feature in x86 processors beginning with the Pentium 4 processors based on later iterations of the Prescott core." And that's likely a bit later than your processor. This P4 processor with 2MB cache, has NX. But it's LGA775 socket. http://ark.intel.com/products/27488/...Hz-800-MHz-FSB Execute Disable Bit Yes You can look for yourself through some of the others, and see it's not there. On some of the pages, there isn't even room for an entry for it. "Intel Pentium 4 Processor" http://ark.intel.com/products/family/581 If they listed a "year of introduction", it might be easier to trace down. My P4 doesn't work either :-( The last Win8 preview version, refused to install. Only my Core2 processors are candidates now. Besides, these newer OSes, they're happy running on one core when they're idle. But give them a bit of work to do, you'll be wishing for multiple cores. My laptop is a single core running Windows 7, and it runs out of steam without too much abuse. For example, I was trying to take pictures with a webcam today, and it was taking 20 seconds for the webcam control panel to show up. Slug slow... Needs a dual or quad core... Paul |

I have an old PC here with the above mother board in it. I use it as
a test bed. currently have Win XP and Win 7 on it. Would like to try Did you have much trouble installing Win7 on your P4PE? I have XP and wondering about upgrading to Win7. But the compability test gave lots of warning. Like for the build in S-ATA RAID controller (use that for my S-ATA HD) -- Lars-Erik Østerud : http://www.osterud.name Asus P4PE, 2.53GHz, 1GB, MSI 7600GS, XP SP3 |

Win 7 seems to pick up all the hardware. I'm just using IDE drives . |
