Depends on what setting(s) you run Minecraft at, though. But, virtually any PC can run Minecraft though, amirite? Even though it maybe not at the highest resolution

That is correct, but do I still need like 8 GB? I though 8 is more than enough, and even 6 is still more than enough too. But I thought most of the time I saw most Point of Sale PC's have 4 GB of RAM, and sometimes not even that

I might not do std. office work, I'll probably do that on another PC instead.

Also, what sort of CPU should I get? Should I get an i3, Celeron or a Pentium, or what AMD CPU/APU equivalent?

So should I get a desktop for point of sale?

Also, I don't think I need 4+ GB of RAM anyways. Most point of sale PC's sometimes don't even have 4 GB sometimes, sometimes just 2 or at the least 1, unless you get one of those Wyse thin clients which I need a server for data (for example, a domain controller) and one to load the OS (thin clients need another PC, normally a server to load the OS and do processing [thin client PC's heavily rely on the server for computational tasks]. They usually have at best that I know 512 MB of RAM

I am Ok with PC's with either no OS, or Linux, too, though. I have a few OS's too.

BTW: Without the CD/DVD drive, I am going to use a PXE server to install the OS over the network rather than a CD/DVD or USB

What is PXE?

it's $300CAD. Or better yet, you could probably afford a Compaq Portable, or a Deskpro 486 (or better, Pentium 4) or even better, a Compaq Evo from the early 2000's

And you need other motherboards with specific chipsets that support DDR3, DDR4, etc.
Another difference is the way the modules plug in; they still plug in as they have for nearly 2 decades or so, but DDR3 has 240 pins (they're more noticable in the MoBo and not the DIMM's themselves) and DDR4 is 288 pins.

Anything more than 12 or even 8 GB is almost unnecessary for gaming, however, if you're doing other non-gaming tasks though, you're still better off with 8 GB or 12 GB

I also have one too, but it has HD 4000 instead. I turned down the settings a bit, and it runs Minecraft at around 50 - 60 FPS a majority of the time, even at full screen (1440x900 on my PC)

SensorialGlint6
code 10 usually means IRQ issue.

check IRQ sharing on the devices the uses same IRQ




Sorry, but how can I change the IRQ? Maybe there is a conflict with my Ethernet Controller (integrated with motherboard) and my WG311v3. And How can I see what are the devices that use the same IRQ? I've already tried to disable my Ethernet Controller but the Wi-Fi card doesen't work again. Help me please... I need Wi-Fi Smiley Sad
Thank you very much



if both sits on same IRQ, disable onboard ethernet. or move the PCI slot and see



Found this on a netgear community forums, hope it's helpfull. Also if you are trying to run it on Win7 there are apparently many problems related to the drivers, making it mostly unusable on win7

Yeah I have Windows 7.
Also I am unable to change IRQ because the "Resources" tab won't show because it is not using resources because it has a problem

DEVICE STATUS in device manager says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Got the same when installing drivers. Originally it said that there were no drivers, and I installed drivers and it says that it cant start. I checked Services and it says that WLAN AutoConfig is enabled and started, which is needed for Wireless to work; currently I still need wired network

My numbering began at 3 because I might have thought that if I did the questions starting from 1, people reading this thread might not know which answers are for which questions, even though I did put the 1st answer for the first question at the top of the list, and so on.

And I just had to know for sure if I could be able to play Steam or run SteamOS on some older hardware, because I had these Core 2 Quad and Pentium 4 HT (dual core w/ Hyperthreading @ 3 GHz) PCs laying around that my friend gave to me

Most likely; because in fact, my friend made his 2nd PC
with the case crafted out of wood and it was because he wanted to make his HTPC build unique, it would be indeed the most ultimate PC build if you got to make
your own computer case, and could even save money to some extent, even though
some cases (specifically Micro ATX and Mini ITX) I saw on Newegg for as cheap as 35$ excluding shipping.

Theres a "TrojanSpy.MSIL.irh" that Jiangmin Spotted on the website


Yeah because we ALWAYS TRUST antivirus scanners. Its probably just trying to make you download some sort of adware that pretends to be a virus cleaner.


That has always happened, in my opinion, however, you can avoid downloading rogue security software, that is, fake virus scanners.

For example, if you see spelling errors in the page and/or if it has something relating to Windows, such as WinAntiVirus as probably No legit AV would normally be called something like Windows Protection Suite or Server Defender, even if it's intended for Windows Servers

I am scared of those things as well, but my most fear is meeting new people and the second one is about computer viruses, as well as real-world illness viruses
