DirectX10 compatible graphics card

2 GB of RAM

[mspeter97]

......just asking:

Do I need an Alienware PC?

because it looks so awesome man It's not command Line...It's Just wow The future

[dosse91]

@mspeter97 if you don't know how to build a computer yourself, alienware PCs are great, so i'd recommend them. however alienware PCs are gaming machines, so if you only play farmville and games like that, it would be a waste of money

[MindSeeR666]

@dosse91 Meh my PC cost me 2.1K I got two 5970s and I don't even game lol.. I got the cards as soon as the came out £500.. IT's only a waste of money if you're poor lol and not got a big income

[WinVisten]

Can that run WoW?

[dosse91]

@WinVisten with all the graphics settings maxed out!

[ejzllanes96]

windows 1.0 has no mouse, while windows 1.01 has. weird

[mspeter97]

@ejzllanes96 in fact windows 1.01 didin't have one unless you have a mouse driver!!

windows 1.0 didn't respond to a mouse driver but 1.01 does

[WindowsGeek12]

Thats Windows Vista

[dosse91]

@WindowsGeek12 no that's windows 1.01

[WindowsGeek12]

@dosse91 joking i was saying that vista is s***

[dosse91]

@WindowsGeek12 lol irony sometimes doesn't pass through yt comments

[wasitrealy]

Woah, this only allocates like 1mb of ram of like 4GB?

[dosse91]

@wasitrealy yes. it's a 16 bit program. old 16 bits cpus like the intel 8086 had a 20 bit address bus. this is why those cpus could only allocate 1 mb of memory (2^20=1048576 bytes=1mb). however, 1 mb was A LOT of memory back in 1985

[Falador321]

i bet windows 1.01 is thinking ZOMG SUPA SPEEEEEEED

[dosse91]

@Falador321 yea! OMFG! 1 mb of ram?? that's a lot of it :D

[jebug29]

@Falador321 When it only needs one megabyte and it has 8 million times that much -- HECK YEAH! lol

[gamingparadise2010]

2:26 epic XD

[Hack3rINC]

my os is better than this lol jk :P

[MotweraCity]

O.O windows 1 on core 2 duo :D !!!!

[dosse91]

@MotweraCity it was a core 2 quad actually, but it still works fine with my new phenom II x6

[Bandit400VC]

does anyone knows where can i download Windows 1.0??

[jebug29]

@Bandit400VC Probably just search google "Windows 1.0 bootable disk" then put it as a floppy in a virtual machine and win1 will boot.

[FUNSK8BOARDING]

intel core 2 quad for windows 1.01 :D

[JoeyJoeJoe5000]

Pretty funny how Windows went from being just a tiny little operating environment add-on to DOS, to a full fledged OS.

[dosse91]

@JoeyJoeJoe5000 yup, but it funnier to see that windows 1.01 still works on today's machines, while windows 98, Me, etc. don't even start. i wonder if windows vista will still works in the year 2020...

[computerkid1416]

where did you get windows 1.01?

[dosse91]

@computerkid1416 i had it on 2 old floppy disks but you can get it on isohunt or any torrent search engine. if you need it i can copy you the floppy i used (if it still works) and upload it on mediafire

[computerkid1416]

@dosse91 that would be great if you could!

[dosse91]

@computerkid1416

if you give me your email address i can send it to you

[Kossrifle]

lmao running a os that only need 23 mb of ram when you have 8ddr

[dosse91]

@Kossrifle it needs less than 1 mb actually

[Kossrifle]

@dosse91 Oh sweet, It probably can't access the internet or do any basic functions right?

[007agent0007]

try windows 2.03

[MapleStoryP]

sweet!

[mattsprinter]

If you have a flash drive, put it on that. It should be faster.

[DrZum94]

But it is installed on a floppy?

[Windows7IsCool]

1:35 "Memory (RAM) free 413K"

0_o Must be a resource hog lol

[starkist1480]

I burned mine on cd and when you boot from it, it booted like a half of a second. You can burn the floppy image to a cd or dvd.

[dosse91]

thanks!

[starkist1480]

You're welcome, and by the way you can use UltraIso, this is what I use. And it very easy to use.

[dosse91]

ok i'll try!

[k00gan]

« holy crap thats amazing especially for 1985 »

This is a big shit compared to Apple Macintosh released in 1984...

[dosse91]

I must try it!!

[starkist1480]

You can emulate the Apple Macintosh using vMac (System 1.x to 7.5.x), Basilisk (Mac Os 7.6 to 8.0), sheepshaver (Mac Os 8.1 to 9.2) and PearPc (Mac Os X 10.1 (Puma) to 10.5 (Leopard) or you can just download the OSX86 to run Mac on your PC Natively (Tiger or Leopard).

[jforce321]

holy crap thats amazing especially for 1985 now if only you could find a way to make a operating system use as few resources as that and still play todays video games there would be nothing holding your ram and processor and graphics card back

[dosse91]

i'd like to but i don't know if ut3 or crysis would run if it sees just 1MB of ram :D

[jedixo]

have you tried installing highmem.sys in dos

it alows dos to use more than 4 mb ram i think windows 3.1 to me used it not the nt versions

[jedixo]

oops himem.sys load the driver using config.sys then dos should run in HMA i think which mean it will try to make use of anything over 1mb
