Running XP on 486 platform is made possible by the Intel Pentium OverDrive for socket 3 designed to upgrade 486 platforms with 5th generation CPUs. Thus it is not a big deal but just a very time consuming thing to get that to work. The installation was first made on Windows 2000 Professional since I was a bit lazy to write boot diskettes for Windows XP. A big mistake because the W2K installation took at least 10 hours (1 PM to 2 AM next day) and the XP installation ran from 9 AM to 1 AM the next day. At least not a single error occured during the installation and it worked really smooth.
I'm sorry that I still didn't manage to get a serial mouse and did the whole video only with a keyboard. Next time I will definitely run systems with a mouse.
The system configuration looked pretty much the same compared to my SX-25 video using the following components:
- Intel Pentium OverDrive 83 MHz limited to 25 MHz FSB speed thank to this guide: winhistory.de/m...
- 64 MB RAM
- M921 Socket 3 PCI ISA 486/AT compatible motherboard
- Quantum HDD, changed to Seagate for Windows 3.11
- Cirrus Logic VGA compatible video card
This is clearly neither a record nor a show off video but just a demonstration that everyone else can do when he/she has time to.
