win95 and cpu over 2,2 ghz

The windows95 and win98 dont support a cpu over 2,2 gigahertz so microsoft released a patch to solve the proble.
if you now were i can find the file or if you can send it to me
my email is tenjin@vip.gr and i am interesting for the paneuropean and greek version of the file.
thanks in advance for any help

 

The issue you describe can be found in this MS KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312108

It proclaims that you need to contact MS (Recommended) to get version 4.10.0.2000 of the file ndis.vxd.

This link should provide the correct ndis.vxd (uncomfirmed) if not wanting to bother MS:

thanks

i check on the microsoft server but i couldnt find the file anywhere dont know why? links to other pages but no link to the actual file. i wonder if i am stupid or not after all lol

 

Re: thanks

The fix is not public available (Why I posted the second link), you need to contact microsoft to get the fix:

That site is no good and when I called microsoft they told me to go to their website which is a dead end, or have a tech talk for $35. When i know what it is all I want is the file. Can anyone help me out ?

Looking for that ndis.vxd version 4.10.0.2000.

Made a pc out of old parts and need OS. win98 is only one I'm not using. Please help

 

TRy google search, as follows.

I don't understand why anyone would want to use an advanced CPU with an outdated operating system.

Do yourself a favour and get XP.

Windows 98 and certainly 95 aren't optimised for todays processors.

 

Again people saying get XP ,yeah right do you have $449.00 so you can send him a check....

 

FYI - B*st Buy has XP Upgrade for $99 with a $20 mail in rebate which should work fine. I finally moved on from Windows ME to XP and I'M LOVIN IT! Wasn't too sure, but ME finally ticked me off one too many times.....

 

You have to be joking?

Where did you get $449.00 from?

There are plenty of other options.

Considering they already have 98, an upgrade version of XP wouldn't cost even close to half that!

Not to mention OEM and educational licences that are cheaper still.

Let me get this right, you are saying that someone can afford a 2.2 GHZ processor and all the hardware that goes with it and yet can't afford an optimised operating system to take full advantage?

What's the point?

You may as well run 95 on a pentium II or Athlon 300.

 

XP Home or Pro OEM can be had online for around $75 to $100 anytime.
No rebate involved, just have to buy some hardware, like $1 cable or such
can get links at:
www.pricewatch.com
In the search box type "Windows XP OEM"
Google should provide same.

 

Yep, at some places you don't even need to buy anything and they will sell you O.E.M. (technically they aren't supposed to I know, but a lot do)

I can get Office for less than $449.00!

 

I guess you don't live in canada....

I can post plenty off link with that price full version.....(no upgrade, upgrade is bad...)

Better full install......

 

No I don't live in Canada and neither does the threads author, so why would $499.00 be relevant to him.

Anyway, I'm sure you can get XP cheaper than that in Canada!

As far as "better a full install" and "no upgrade, upgrade is bad",

I never said do an upgrade, I said you can buy an upgrade XP CD.

It's the same as a full retail XP CD, and you can still do a format and install with it.

The only difference is that it will ask you to insert your other Windows CD as proof during the installation.

 

the upgrade is the EXACT same disc, with the exception that it checks for a legitimate previous version of windows from a disc you insert. 1 extra step, SAME product, lots cheaper.... as Insomniac just said a minute ago

Don't forget that the originator of this thread, OURANOS, is from Greece and is asking "for the paneuropean and greek version of the file". Read the original post again. If someone wishes to use W98SE with a hotter CPU then that is their business. The little I have been exposed to XP, I'm not greatly impressed as yet. Who knows what the Greek version of XP, update or OEM, costs. I sure don't. Best of luck, Ouranos, in your endeavours. Bazza

 

Checking the original post again. It is over 2 years old. I guess Ouranos has moved on, by now. Bazza

 

The person that resurrected the thread is after the same thing, and granted he should have probably started a new one, but it really doesn't change anything.

Whether OURANOS or Flesh are from Greece or Mars, they can still get XP for nowhere near $449.00.

If it was ordered from the links supplied and freight and tariff duties etc were factored in, it still wouldn't be even close to half of $449.00.

Again, if someone can afford a 2.2 GHZ CPU and hardware, another 100-150 dollars for an operating system is money well spent.

Whether you like XP or not, or whether it impressed you or not doesn't mean that XP is not optimised for current hardware and much better suited.

You can't even install more than 512 MB of memory on most Windows 98 systems without having to edit startup files.

Anyway, one thing you are right about is that if that is what they want to do, then it's their business.

No one put a gun to their head and said they couldn't, instead we offered advice and opinions, something I thought was the purpose of a forum.

 

So, If the threads author was from Greece, does that make him a Greek Geek?
Hmmmmm.............

 

cause i like win95
and i hate xp
i have tried them both i tried 98 milenium nt4.0 but i dont like them
what i can do with win95 cant do with no other system
and by the way i dont see a slow in speed as you say.
the system corresponds as it was expected to be.
do put xp which will slow my system to buy new editing software which is slower for what reason??? to have a system editing video slower???
with95 and old editing software which you can do the same thinks but faster.
a better os will be an os demanding less cpu less ram less hard drive space.
win95 over 128 ram fly. can you say the same for xp??
and before you say anything for usb i have enabled usb support on win95
so there is no problem. and by the way there is always fiewire which is better and scsi to connect your peripherials. first of all it is a matter of money i cant afford to pay year after year microsoft for os and office. that will make me my new computer opselute. my first pc p75 with 32 ram and win95a was a disaster you could do nothing!!!!!! mercy i will not hqve that hapen again.
and each software are now in gigabytes??? for what reason???? only to buy larger hard drives???
i used 4 giga hard disk with windows office video editing tools and i could do my job. well actually a 6 gb disk would have been ideal. and now i read all those articles that i need 200-300 gigabytes if i want to edit video????
why i will store it uncopressed??? i have a tv tunner and i write some programm from tv 4 giga is plenty. newer is not necesary better. some of you must remember me from another guote i had start
WHO NEEDS A HARD DRIVE
were i said that i used my pc without a hard drive
i made 256 of ram virtual memory and could do anything. from surfing the net
from using my office95 with access installed writting cd with my nero programm etc. all that in a 256mbyte hard drive!!!!!! how much is the minumum size of xp??? and mercy pc with 512 and virtual memory disables with xp can not boot!!!!! how much on earth memory needs only the os to work??? 3 giga ram????
so long live win95 all the rest go to hell
www.ximaira.com you can see instructions on how you make a rmadrive and boot your computer from it

 

I agreed with you 100% ouranos.

Hey my 300 post woot !!!!!

 

Well put, Ouranos. Great to see you are still with MG. From Bazza (P2/400,W98SE old laptop).

I am being forced to learn XP to help a friend out. She's a newbie and a family friend for 30+ years. Even doing a search for a File or Folder is easier in W98SE. Bazza

 

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how they would install modern hardware on Windows 95.

95a or 95b, installing hardware made in the same era is bad enough, I would love to see someone trying to install new hardware!

Anyway, each to their own.

 

Obviously what Ouranos uses is good enough for him to keep using W95.

I still have/use some old DOS programs that need a parallel printer and I have not found a modern program that does the same job.

Try buying a parallel printer, nowadays. I think EPSON is one o0f the exceptions.

They are nearly all USB only, and that is great for most people.

Different strokes for different folks is what makes the world go round and sometimes leads to progress. Baz

 

As I said, each to their own, and I'm glad Ouranos is happy and I'm not trying to force my views on anyone.

However, I don't accept the argument that you can afford a 2.2 GHZ CPU and hardware and can't afford an "late model" operating system.

Trying to install a CD drive on Windows 95a or b can be a nightmare, I wouldn't even attempt it with new stuff!

Anyway, as long as the user is happy, that's all that matters.

 

hmmm

well as you mention modem if i have a true hardware modem then there is
no problem to install it on win95/98 but software modems is a nightmare
you cant install them. telling the truth modems evan in 1995 when win95
were introdused was nightmare to install. so things havent changed in 95 maybe you were luucky ant installed your modem 2005 10 years later
you still depent on luck to install a modem. and by the way i hate software
modems but it seems so hard to find a true hardware modem in our days
my cpu is for other things not to use it from the modem from the audio
from this and that. then we sould make a soft motherboard to buy it 5$ cheaper why not cpu nowdays are fast. my cpy i want to run programms not to play the modem or audio card if there wasnt for the 3d games we would have and software graphics card mercy. the search on winxp is rediculus
the search in win98 was far far far far better. and i have athlon 2600+ thats 1833 hz. when i buy a cpu usually its the latest model found on the market.
pay more for what?? for 5% more power pay 30% more??? double channel ram waht gave us 5% tops in memory speed??? wow all the double technologies introdused from 95 never gave as more than 5% increase in power its pathetic. sdram with ddr? remember ddr and p3?? it had no increase
in perfomance!!!!! and p4 rambus vs sdram what was the diferense 15% and
one memory run at 400hz and the other in 133 wow what an achievemnt.
so nowdays we buy 52x cdroms that means for a sec the device will reach its maximum speed in the outer surface of the disc. very impressing. when i bought a 8x cdrom i knew it will work 8x all the way. new cdrom should have
a range of speeds minumum and maximum so we can compare products.
scanners??? they say they have 300dpi 600dpi 1200dpi and know 2400dpi
wow impressive numbers then why on earth did we need another number called density ranged from 0-4,4? and what is density simple a scanner says it has 600dpi but can it see 600 lines?? of course not it sees less if it could see all then it would have 4,4 score but all scanners the chaep range from 3,2 and lower. make the maths and see that you buy hot air and impressive numbers. even the 50,000$ scanners have 4,2 density wow
instead of mery icrease the name of the dpi make the product do what it claims to can do see 600 lines then try to make ti better. so you buy a 1200 dpi scanner to use it as 600dpi??? that happened in hard drives that the capsity nowdays is written in mathematics aand not in the computer form
so they say i sell you a 100megabytes disk you format it and you have 93 gig
wow thats misinformation the worst kind cause hard drive will always been used in ccomputer software that will use 1024 maths not 1000 so you will never see the 100giga label they put in the product. ddr2 and ddr have any diferense nowdays?? now cause maybe ddr2 is fasters in hz but slower in cas
so what it gains from one factos looses from the other. in time when in will be evan faster and faster cas then it will give us 5% more perfomanse wow.
thats for now going to do the usuall monthly format on my pc
