fail people helping this guy is a major fail ,,,

not sure if this bit of info helps but you could try faking (impersonating) a better one (CPU).

I know of a similar bypass fo OSX however I am not sure if there is such a thing for PC.

you might be better off waiting for the RC so people can start tweaking install files

What you could do (although I dont recommend this as your system will problably crash) is install Windows 8 on a hard drive on a newer system then after instalation but that hard drive in your old system. problabl will not work but....

I have seen instances of this where the system didn't crash. I moved my friends old hdd from his old computer to his new one we were building and it didn't crash but the found new hardware thing went nuts for an hour. This probably won't work though since the computer I have is way newer than my test rig and the hdd in the p4 rig is ide

The kernel will detect at boot that the CPU is not supported and will bugcheck ("blue screen"). This is called out in the whitepaper linked to earlier in this thread.

kernel switch to bypass checks like tha??

Well there isn't one... The idea is to stop it booting there and then rather than allowing it to boot up and potentially cause hardware corruption from doing things on a CPU that the CPU doesn't actually support, the response it gets is completely unknown.

OP go to this link. You can get an Intel i7 2700k, motherboard and memory for about $400. Just need to get a new graphic card and you are set. A good graphic card is about $150. So your looking at $550.

http://www.pricewatc...memory/i7-2700k

And merely by judicious hardware reuse, you can come under that - even from an AGP-based PC.

1. Unless your drives are IDE/ATAPI (say the drives are SATA, for example), you can reuse those as they are. (That's not even remotely silly - there are motherboards that support both SATA *and* AGP; one of them - the ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe - dates back to 2004 and is less than twenty feet from my right elbow.)

2. Power Supplies - if you have a decent power supply (400W or greater), that's reusable as well, more likely than not. While newer motherboards *support* 24+8 PSU connections and 20+4/4+4 variants included) very few require them - if your PSU supports 20+4/4-pin and meets the power requirements, it should still work (taken directly from the manual of the ASUS P8Z77-V).

3. Unlike DDR, DDR3 is *inexpensive, inexpensive. inexpensive* - I can buy a matched (4GBx2) Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 pair for $70 at (of all places) Best Buy - typically one of the WORST place to buy memory on a price basis. (And if pricing is that good at one of the WORST places on a price basis, how much better is pricing at the better places, such as Newegg and MicroCenter?)

4. PC cases haven't changed on a basic level; while there are new form-factors (such as BTX and ITX), those remain primarily niches - the basic ATX and mATX haven't gone anywhere. (My current motherboard is mATX- yet it's mounted in an *ATX* mid-tower case; I went mATX for reasons of price/budget. However, the motherboards I have in my shortlist are all ATX, but with my case also being ATX, I don't have to change it.)

This is still another nail in the Windows 8 coffin, as I see it. The UI is controversial and getting a traditional desktop gets more difficult with each release, and now we find that, though it is lighter than Vista and 7, it will refuse to run on certain older hardware, for no better reason than that someone at Microsoft thought that making people "safe" was more important than allowing people to use their software. Whatever would have been wrong with a warning: "Your processor does not support all of Windows 8's security features. Your system may be more susceptible to attack from malicious software. Do you still want to continue installing Windows 8?"

I'm not worried about it. Most of the people I serve (I'm a tech by trade) wouldn't even consider buying Windows 8, for the UI reason alone?they have work to do, and relearning everything is not an option they will willingly choose. The fact that XP/Vista/7 are still working just fine makes the status quo an even more desirable option.

Besides, I think it won't take long for the hackaround community to come up with a solution. It might be a patched kernel, but it would more than likely be a modified bootloader which invokes a TSR to simulate/emulate the necessary functionality. Remember the BIOS SLIC emulation bootloader that pirates use(d?) to fake Windows Vista/7 into thinking you had a particular OEM system so the equivalent OEM Windows would say "Windows is activated" without buying it? It would be much harder, yes, to emulate CPU functionality, but not impossible. It is also possible that the TSR could merely report the existence of said functionality, while the commands would simply be ignored. That would have the same effect as Windows 8 Consumer Preview: it runs without the additional security.

If they don't do it, Windows 8 will just be a bigger flop. Perhaps that wouldn't be all bad. Change for change's sake is rarely good, and "The UI formerly known as Metro" is exactly that. Maybe Microsoft will learn its lesson about making it more difficult to stay with what you prefer.

I have an old P4 (Gallatin core) machine that was a hotrod back in 2004 (extreme edition). It runs Windows 7 like a champ. It's been running non stop for over 8 years with heavy downloading of all kinds of games and programs and NEVER got exploited via executable memory. My 6 year old son now uses it for games and learning and he wants Windows 8.

There is NO REASON whatsoever that Windows 8 should be blocked from running on this machine. I love MS and all but this is an irrationally bone-headed decision.

I realize it's a rare case and they can afford to do away with support for old hardware in the name of security, but it just rubs me the wrong way cause they've never done this before.

This machine is working FINE, and would run Windows 8 FINE, but now I have to drop $100 or so to replace it with more recent hardware.

Not really true. NX as we currently know it only made it's way into the Pentium 4 range from later iterations of Prescott cores and onwards, which means that all of the Williamette, Northwood, and first iterations of Pentium 4-M, Pentium 4 Mobile, and Gallatin (Pentium 4 Extreme edition) processors have SSE2 but no hardware support for NX, which is well over half of the Pentium 4 range. More specifically the Socket 775 or 5xJ and 5x9J series were the first CPU's to support hardware NX)

That is why I mentioned the Northwood-C.

The Northwood-C series of Pentium 4 CPUs was (unlike Prescott, which would succeed it) entirely socket 478 - however, like Prescott, Northwood-C supported HTT from end to end. (The only previous P4 that wasn't an Extreme Edition to support HTT was the P4 3.06 GHz Northwood-B.)

The Northwood-C was also pretty much a drop-in replacement for older Northwood CPUs (and especially the B) - the issue was making sure your motherboard BIOS was updated.

The tag-team of Northwood-C and DDR had a surprisingly LONG run in the world of Windows - starting with Windows XP, in fact; it took bargain-basement pricing for DDR3 to finally kill off the die-hards as of two years ago. (I have two motherboards with P4 Northwood CPUs - both with AGP slots, in fact - as shelved backups for possible usage in *retro* projects in the future.)

Wow, thanks for making me feel better guys. I was thinking how pathetically old my Opteron 165 system is, and you come in here talking about P4s, haha. Seriously though, you can't really complain about Microsoft when you're trying to use a 10 year old computer. You could upgrade that massively for like $150-200.

Even if you were to get it working somehow someway the experience would be useless since you would have to dumb it down to the point that you would not be able to use the features it presents. The time spent searching cpu's, max ram or even hard drive upgrades to make it work would be a complete waste. If you have bought the upgrade already you have the number code so go to craigslist and get a cheap or affordable windows vista or seven conputer and rerun the upgrade on that. This way you don't lose money on your purchase and you get windows 8 to boot.

Why not? I understand SSE2 to an extent but NX is a completely arbitrary requirement. Plenty of CPUs without NX would run Windows 8 just fine. I've never seen any real evidence that NX improves security all that drastically anyway.

it was the upgrade assistant that told me it wasn't compatible. I would try installing it with a flash drive and see what happens but the computer doesn't support booting from usb I dont think and I don't have any blank dvds

(edit)

32bit says cpu not compatible

c'mon MS you jacked up the requirements too much I heard it doesnt even have aero anymore and they go and make the requirement too high I mean tablets haven't even broke the 2ghz mark yet so I don't see how there will be any win 8 tablets

sorry just a rant but this is such a fail on microsofts part

^^ i didnt even get to that part the adviser before setup even began said processor not compatible. It has to be a glitch or this is the most bloated version of windows to date

He's looking for help and all you guys do is come in here and tell him to upgrade, or bash him for no other reason other than to satisfy your own supremacy. None of you ever give thought to maybe he has low income. I would tell him to just use XP, for Windows. But then you guys would come in and bash about a great and not even unsupported (yet) OS.

So he is dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. Here is your advice OP: Roll Linux on that rig, Lubuntu to be exact, It's going to do everything you need for that particular machine and it's Modern. You will not have to feel forced to upgrade every time Microsoft tells you to upgrade. For others: Don't bother posting if all you have to contribute is to make the OP feel low and satisfy your need to be a Troll, and I'm not coming back to read abusive comments projected at me, if you got something bad to say about me, meet me somewhere.

The way he approached his question was flawed from the outset. Instead of realizing he has a very outdated system, he decided it was all Microsoft's fault. Quite simply if you want help, behave like an adult.

Same goes for you and your whole "if you got something bad to say about me, meet me somewhere." which is frankly pathetic coming from a grown up.

The specifics can be up for debate, I'm not saying SSE2 or NX should or shouldn't be necessary, I'm just saying that in the computer world, a computer with a P4 is ancient. I've had a P4 retired in a box for probably about 8 years now. When you can probably build a system that's at least 5 times faster for $150, it's probably time to just do the upgrade. You can debate whether it's fair or not on Microsoft's part, but the argument is entirely and 100 percent useless since you'll never find enough people running systems that old and trying to upgrade to the "latest and greatest" OS. Usually people who are willing to pay for the very latest OS as soon as it comes out are also willing to pay a little to keep their computer at least somewhat up to date. The people who aren't interested in updating their computer usually stick to the OS that came with it like XP which would still run just fine on a P4.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds by Sayan Sen Image by Rafael Rendon via Pexels A study by researchers at the University of Calgary has found that living organisms produce an extremely faint light known as ultraweak photon emission, and that this glow appears to drop significantly after death. The research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2025 and quickly drew widespread attention, leading to more than 200 news stories about the findings. Ultraweak photon emission (or UPE), sometimes called biophoton emission, refers to tiny amounts of light released by living cells as a result of normal biological activity. A photon is the basic particle of light, and researchers say every living system examined so far, including plants and animals, has been found to emit these photons. The glow is far too faint to be seen by the human eye. “I suppose it has a little to do with people being reminded of auras,” says Dr. Christoph Simon, PhD, one of the authors of the study and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science. “It is a fact that living beings glow. It’s a very weak glow, but it’s there and visible with very sensitive cameras.” According to the study, the light involved is extremely weak, ranging from 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimetre per second across a spectral range of 200 to 1,000 nanometres. For comparison, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre and is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light. Detecting emissions at such low levels requires highly specialized equipment. To study the phenomenon, researchers used electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. These imaging systems are designed to detect extremely small amounts of light, including individual photons, while minimizing background noise. The technology allowed researchers to capture signals that would otherwise be impossible to observe. The team worked with the Human Health Therapeutics Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa to examine photon emissions in mice. Researchers took two-hour exposure images of the animals before and after death and compared the results. “We saw that the level of light that they emit – this biophoton glow – is distinctly different between living and dead animals,” says Dr. Daniel Oblak, PhD, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy and the corresponding author of the study. The images showed a clear decrease in photon emissions after death across the entire body of each mouse. According to the researchers, this provided direct evidence that living and dead tissue produce different levels of ultraweak photon emission. “It’s a very small amount and it’s, of course, very tricky to detect,” Oblak says. The study grew out of discussions between Simon, whose research interests include quantum biology, and Oblak, whose work focuses on detecting light for quantum communication experiments. Quantum biology is a field that explores whether processes described by quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at very small scales, may also play a role in living systems. “Since I work as a quantum physicist on light detection for quantum communication, I thought that experimentally we have a lot of the tools to be able to detect the light,” Oblak explains. The researchers also investigated UPE in plants and found that the light changed in response to stress. When plants were exposed to higher temperatures or physically injured, their photon emissions increased. Chemical treatments also affected the glow. Among the substances tested, the local anesthetic benzocaine produced the strongest emission response when applied to injured plant tissue. These findings suggest that ultraweak photon emission is closely linked to biochemical and metabolic activity inside living organisms. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow cells and organisms to stay alive and function. Because these reactions change when an organism experiences stress, injury or disease, researchers believe UPE may provide a way to monitor those changes. The researchers stress that the glow is a physical and biological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. Oblak says more research is needed to understand exactly how the light is produced and what information it may reveal about the condition of living tissue. “We must understand what that is to figure out what’s happening,” he says. “If we can understand how that relates to certain influences on the body – stress, diseases – then that could be used as a diagnostic tool.” The researchers believe the technique could eventually help scientists study health and disease without invasive procedures. Because UPE can be measured without adding dyes, markers or labels, it may offer a way to monitor whether tissue is healthy, damaged or alive. In plants, it could help researchers better understand how organisms respond to injury, heat and other forms of stress. While the work is still in its early stages, the study demonstrates that ultraweak photon emission imaging can provide a non-invasive and label-free way to observe biological activity. Researchers say the approach could become a useful tool for studying vitality, stress responses and other important processes in both animals and plants.

      Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans channel user profiles in much less time Fixed problems with file name parsing and date handling in RSS Faster and more accurate RSS filtering and episode number detection Several optimizations to global text processing functions, such as UTF-8 cleaning, line splitting, and token parsing Complete update of port-mapping UPNP/NAT-PMP engine, added PCP support, mapping over VPN support, and more Several refinements to default gateway detection on Windows / Android, which is used for port-mapping Support for IPv6 interface-scoped addresses, which is sometimes needed for IPv6 gateway detection and port mapping Full support for PCP port remapping, added backup zero-port query in case requested port is rejected New UPNP/NAT-PMP Monitor in Help > Diagnostics New reflected local port/location tracker that analyzes DHT replies to detect true port/location and NAT mapping type New TCP/UDP Ports monitor in Help > Diagnostics, with several statistic and information tabs, and a detailed event log Calculated/reflected local port is now used for port parameter in tracker queries and peer handshake Fixed several problems with Linux Wayland compatibility Completely replaced tray icon functions
