32bit windows 10 devices can be bought CHEAP!

[chrisNova777]

theres alot of 32bit windows 10 devices that can be bought for really cheap because alot of people dont want the hassle now that most software developers are stopped supporting 32bit that means the hardware will be really cheap to acquire on 2nd hand markets.

these devices often can have quad core cpus and usually 2GB of RAM, they are discarded because of lack of 64bit support + lack of 4GB RAM or higher. but these machines can still be used to great effect by the keen tech-nerds hehe many will have bluetooth support aswell.

the only problem is finding all the last versions of apps that supported 32bit
some companies are great about still offering a link option for a 32bit supported download
but alot of the times u have to visit their changelog and find the version by checking the changelog notes.. which can be gruesome.

i want to create a page here on the site that links to many of the software tools i use of common software utilities such as 7zip, vlc player, web browsers, etc

see my post here

I bought Asus EEE X101H. It was cheap, in very good condition.


It's a lightweight little netbook that's handy to use when I'm away from home sleeping.
The battery began to hold little charge over time, and bought a new one on Aliexpress cheaply.


The main problem is that the 64-bit video driver is not supported in bios.
I didn't find the correct bios. But other than that, there was no real reason to use a 64-bit system yet.

I tried again today and it worked.
My processor is Atom N570, video is Intel GMA 3150.

Installed Windows Home 10 x64 19045.3086

Video drivers were installed from Windows 7 64:

Screen resolution 1024x600 is fully supported.
Surprisingly, I've never been able to do anything before.
Possibly because I installed a version of Windows that had many features removed.

someone gave me a RCA cambio w101 v2 and i was kind of surprised that it was able to play 1080p video pretty well

i was wondering if it would be able to handle emulator x3
