By the end, PCIe was the standard. That said, it still works with an SSD and will be much faster. I definitely recommend you align your SSD , because XP will not automatically do that, or boot the system up with a Windows 7 or Windows 10 disk and partition and format the drive, then reboot with your Windows XP media and install on those existing partitions.
So you will need to make sure that the power supply you use is compatible with your motherboard, and if you use a high-end video card that needs its own power connector, that the power supply also has enough wattage and the appropriate connector for that video card. The ATX specs changed a fair bit over the years, so if your hardware gives you trouble, it may be that your power supply is mismatched.
But this does mean you will need to track down a manual and study the specifications. AMD had its ups and downs during the XP era. That was deliberate. But it was a single core CPU, and not necessarily the ideal. Then again, the same goes for Intel. This was where AMD snookered Intel.
When the time came to design a bit CPU, Intel decided to start over so they could design a high performance processor, unencumbered by the need for backward compatibility. AMD gambled and took another approach, guessing that bit adoption was going to take some time, and the performance hit that backward compatibility gave would be more than worth it. You will need a processor from or earlier to ensure that drivers are available for the chipset on the motherboard. That means a 4th generation Intel i5 or i7 is the newest you will want to go.
That type of system will be an absolute beast. But for that matter, so will a first generation or second generation i5 or i7. The ideal XP gaming rig was probably a clone system, so from an authenticity standpoint, that may be the way you want to go.
The problem with those types of systems is they tend to go extinct. Someone who buys or builds a PC using off-the-shelf parts frequently upgrades a few parts at a time, slowly turning that PC into something else. Buying a brand name PC and building it out the way you like is likely to be the most cost effective option. If you have an eye on future value and collectibility, see about finding a brand name enthusiast grade PC like Alienware.
But if other generations of PCs are any indication, any recognizable brand is likely to have collectible value. And then you have reasonable assurance that you are starting out with parts that work together. Yes, the result looks like a boring office PC, but previous eras of boring office PCs are worth enough that I regret the and PCs I scrapped over the years. And you can get pretty much any brand you want, because of that long span of hardware compatibility, though I think the later era machines represent the best value and the best usability.
The bit version of Windows 10 uses driver signature enforcement and requires all drivers have a valid signature before they can be installed. Enforcing signed drivers helps improve security and stability, protecting your system from drivers that are malicious or simply unstable. Use this process if you need to switch to the bit version, downloading the bit version of Windows 10 instead of the bit version. These digital rights management schemes can cause quite a few problems.
More advanced tricks include installing and dual-booting into an older version of Windows without this restriction, or attempting to run the game in a virtual machine with an older version of Windows.
A virtual machine may even work well for you, since games using these DRM schemes old enough now that even a virtual machine can likely handle their graphics demands. This was actually just an included virtual machine program with a free Windows XP license. Windows 10 does not include a Windows XP mode, but you can still use a virtual machine to do it yourself. Install that copy of Windows in the VM and you can run software on that older version of Windows in a window on your Windows 10 desktop.
Using a virtual machine is a somewhat more involved solution, but it will work well unless the app needs to interface with hardware directly. Virtual machines tend to have limited support for hardware peripherals. Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think. Was this reply helpful?

Thanks for your feedback. Hello, i've been trying to play XP games on xp mode, and is saying that i can't run them on a remote desktop, so what can i do with XP mode. I install it on windows seven to play some old games, but looks like i can't :. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
