>>12163114Are there even graphics drivers for the celeron m?
>>12163132It's not really worth it, win XP is alright for ir
I have a question - would a windows 11 computer with an integrated graphics card (can't put a graphics card in it) be better than a windows 10 computer with a fairly modern graphics card for emulating old games (4th gen and earlier)? Apparently windows 11 fixes some issues with polling rates for a mouse (of course this could be a gimmick to try to get people to upgrade especially as I didn't hear about it until I was searching for this stuff). Obviously neither system is going to be taxed by a standard SNES emulator, but might windows 11 theoretically reduce lags due to better/more reliable polling rate and similar?
>>12163132>graphic drivers >celeron MNigga whatInstall gentoo and stop being this fucking retarded
>>12163487Not retro>>12163509
>>12163487Pretty sure it doesn't matter so long as you can run dxwnd, 86box/pcem, dosbox-staging etc.
>>12163487What games do you have in mind to consider mouse polling rates as important enough?Win 11 might introduce different lags due to it's abundance of parallel processes + good luck avoiding vibe-coded patches that may brick your PC anytime.
>>12162115No one's mentioned Starcraft: Brood War yet, so definitely install that. Get version 1.16.1 or 1.17 at the latest since newer versions are just the remaster, and use a different engine your machine couldn't run.>>12162253ioquake3 runs like absolute shit on period hardware compared to vanilla q3.>>12163132The Celeron M is just a CPU. Integrated graphics at that time were part of the motherboard chipset.

>make post about retro gaming>devolves in to thread about which le operating system is best
>>12164483Retro OSes are serious business. They can make or break OPs gaming experience.

>>12163114A machine that old is gonna be totally unsupported by modern versions of Wine/Proton
Man, some day I should go look for an old desktop computer to keep as just an offline machine for Windows XP stuff.>>12165387We ARE talking about a machine from the early to mid 2000s after all.

>>12162115For quite some time I had xp as dualboot system just because of starforce along with dvd drive. Biggest shit was finding drivers that would work with modern equipment. Last one I managed to get to work was GTX 1080 Ti by using one of the 670 drivers if my memory is correct.Doubt that shit will fly with Nvidias past 4000 since I couldn't find drivers for win 7 even.
>>12165515I was fortunate to acquire my older brother's 2001 era XP dell that he abandoned in my parents house before they were able to discard it like all the other old tech we had (RIP all those CRTs). Found a nostalgia overdose worth of stuff on the hard drive too. Even found some old runescape versions from 2003 that hadn't been archived, some guy on reddit paid me $600 for the files which was a fun bonus
