Is My Setup Suitable?

Re: Is My Setup Suitable?
Probably not. Too new at the moment. Try running ReactOS in a VM or on a system that previously ran XP successfully.

Re: Is My Setup Suitable?
well, I can say it did work, but it didn't exactly see the 2nd core... I imagine it also had issues with not utilizing the entire cpu's itself's sse3 capabilities, but I managed to get most of it working including ethernet(sadly wifi only had wep). I'm going to attempt to target the cpu's am3 chip to be amdfam10 and attempt that build reactos with that on my zen 4 machine. It'll still be i386 targeted however just to be considered compatible. I'll throw some 4gb ram in instead of 8gb, still ddr3 of 2 sticks 4gb for the optimizations. As far as the nvidia 610, there's drivers through the download thingy
Regor is the model.
Edit: I was able to compile and successfully build the livecd with amdfam10. It did speed up the machine quite a bit for that pc; however, the bootcd doesn't seem to install properly. I'll recompile it all. As far as multiprocessor and no smt(regor had no multithreading just multicore), I'll attempt that at a later time as I'm now just trying to optimize single core performance.
Edit 2: I realized I compiled reactos version 0.4.16 and not 0.4.15 which might have been the problem
Well, I couldn't get the nvidia driver to function with the 610 *sighs* well, I'll keep trying different things. Still, I have support for this, and the amdfam10 did allow me to at least watch youtube on firefox er and twitch at 480p latest release of it from mozilla's website, so that's a plus.
