i got also a q9550 in e0 stepping back in the day. mine was daily oc'd to 4,25ghz without big trouble

@@ko83namines e0 also, I did run it at 4ghz for a short time but didn't like the heat and voltages,(mainly the northbridge volts) it was in an Asus pq5 turbo so probably not the best board since it was only a p45 chipset. The psu finally died last year, still need to replace it.

@@jskyg68 if I remember correctly, I had it under a 120 aio and a p45 board from gigabyte

Thanks man! :D

Thanks!

yeah buddy....i do have M4800 aswell and its a beast..

Same! I’ve upgraded mine with a Radeon Pro WX4150, works really well with it and can play most of the games I want to play on it now!

Amigos tengo una toshiba tecra a10 chipset pm45 tenia un core 2 duo p8700 le puse un t9550 creen que Trabaje el qx9300 segun veo el chipset soporta y el video es un pci express nvs 150 quisiera actualizarlo se puede?. y un modelo lo tengo con overclock el video. Con msi afterburner. Saludos espero sus respuestas xd

Thank you! :)

Thanks!

Thank you Sina!

Thanks!

Thanks!

qx9300 is from 2008 but it runs pretty well ngl i have one with 6gb ddr3 766mhz ram and 8000m gs

That T9900 will still fetch a stupid amount of money!

There are plenty of addin cards to max out expansion, I would max out storage though by replacing un needed expansion like odd or other pcie cards with ssd's. Apparently thinkmods do an express card to nvme adapter with an SD card for clover to allow nvme boot. The internal pcie slots can probably be made bootable using clover too for a multi boot machine. I've found that later combined WiFi + Bluetooth modules require modification for use in older machines. Pin 51 and pin 20 they are apparently to do with physical power buttons for turning parts on and off, you can take over them or do what I did and use a sharp knife to cut the top trace and lift the connect pad off the PCB. Later cards and OS are incompatible or have trouble working with hardware buttons.

Many thanks for the kinds words! :)

@@FullyBuffered You deserve them :) your channel is hugely underrated and will blow up as soon as it reaches critical mass trust me, and I enjoy the content very much, it just brings back that nostalgia and fun memories, learning about hardware and OC-ing intel celerons to almost twice the frequency... aaaah those were the fun days ☺ Greetings from Croatia

Thank you! :)

Thanks André! Originally it was equipped with 2GB of RAM and this CPU, so I'd guess around $2500 - $3000.

Thank you! :)

lmao wtf, M6400 with a 2nd gen i7? You probably meant the M4600.

Thanks for the comment and tip! I did think of putting some music under it. I'll keep it in mind for the next video!

Thanks for your comment and tip! With the overclock the cores reached a max of 80-86C after a single run of R15. With a longer load time I suppose those would have risen a bit more. Definitely at the upper limit of the cooling solution can handle.

Very cool! I used to have a T60 modded with QXGA 2048x1536 IPS display - in hindsight I shouldn't have sold that lol

PLEASE make a video, that sounds insanely interesting

You should be able to play KZfaq videos on a Q9000 quad without any trouble although it depends on the resolution and the frame rate you're after. I've got a laptop with a T6400 and mobility radeon HD 3650 and it will play 1080p fine. What you have to do is go into the browser settings (often the advanced developer settings) and force hardware acceleration in some way. When I first started trying to optimise this machine it did, indeed, struggle to run KZfaq videos but when looking at the way the system was loaded I saw that the GPU had close to zero load yet the CPU was maxed out. Needless to say this was less than ideal. The AMD GPU is pretty basic and I have it running in low power mode. Even if you're using the integrated graphics, that Intel shoved inside the memory controller chipset, this should have more than enough oomph to help off-load tasks from the CPU. Helping with video rendering is something GPUs are good at. Without hardware acceleration the T6400 would drop a frame every now and again with 720p and 1080p was impossible. With hardware acceleration it can do both with ease. Another useful tip is an addon/extension called h264ify. This will allow you to force render with an easier/older video codec and stop 60fps video from playing. Forcing the alternative codec stops KZfaq from being able to go above 1080p although I can't see this being a problem to most. The biggest issue I've found is that some KZfaqrs only upload a 1080p version of a video at 60fps. There is no 1080p at 25/30fps, so you're forced to watch in 720p for those. Either way try getting hardware acceleration enabled in your web browser and see if that helps. In Chrome simply typing Chrome://GPU will tell you if you are. What you want to see is video decoding set to hardware accelerated.

Bro i have sony vaio i5 3230m . 500gb SSD and it does all the work, the only problem that modern laptop displays are so good, and here you are stuck at 1366x768 resolution

@@devangmaheshwari3902 Yeap, My Dell have 1600x900 resolution, im happy with it, glossy screen, gorilla glass, but colors sucks! No true tone or IPS screen.

@@janquieldapper coz you already shelled out $$$ more than me . Worth the price . I produce music so now I strictly use pc. My studio pc has r9 5900x, and bedroom one has 12600k.

@@devangmaheshwari3902 Nop! I Pay around $90 for my used XPS...

Precision M4400, M6400, the last Core 2 era Alienwares, HP 8730w with a certain mobo all have C2Q/QX support.

update the wifi/lan driver to the latest.. if the problem still happen after updated then you should check the wifi modem or change the wifi modem of your laptop.. but usually update will solve the problem

This era of laptops had a ton of exciting desings indeed!

not sure if you’re still looking 3 years later but my clevo m570tu has all of that. has the qx9300 like in this video, comes with 9800m, but you can upgrade gpu, and cpu overclock option in the bios. mine has windows xp and it’s ridiculously fast for games from its time, even runs crysis and gta 4 at high settings

@@nitroseven Sounds fantastic, i'll probably still pick up something like it in the future, though i have learned of another laptop that had a desktop X79 socket inside and i believe dual MXMs and ive heard GTX 1080 SLi is possible though i can't remember the model, sounds like a fun out and about sleeper though like the steamdeck (which would make more sense i suppose) it struggles with the whole connectivity issue, im not fond of public wifi etc and my PSVITA with PKGi has been the on the go gaming device so far since its just offline and ready to go. Im just a quirky hardware collector but on the go gaming has been a bit of a grey area for a while :)

that’s really cool! i also have a clevo (m570 i think) with the same cpu/gpu and it’s used for retro gaming!

At the time of filming it was running a 500GB hard drive, but it currently has a 240GB SSD with Windows 10 Pro on it.

hi man, what is temperature quadro 3700m have at full load? And what about fan noise after 1 houre of gaming or heavy work? Just want to know what to expect!

Forget about finding a 5000M, you've have a better chance of finding a unicorn than a Quadro 5000M for the M6500. (says the one who owns a M6500 Covet with that one GPU!)

@@staspil6 right now I have to change the thermal paste so gpu temperature are above 65-70 C at full load

@@Wasmachineman which is your cpu there? I found a 5000M from china for something like 160$ but I am afraid that my cpu will bottleneck too much...didnt bought yet

@@Juvenlus A 5000M for $160 sounds like a scam.

Compared to the M7820, trash.

Yes you can! Two 2.5" in fact.

@@FullyBuffered thanks mate

QX9300 plus any of the M6500's FirePro cards would be a great upgrade. Or better yet, ditch that 15 year old boat anchor of a Precision and get something much newer.
