My Retro PC

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Two years ago, I bought a retro PC because I missed the games from the Windows XP era.
The PC has a Core 2 Duo processor and an Nvidia GT 430 graphics card.
It isn't a truly period-accurate Windows XP PC, but it runs Windows XP without any problems and allows me to play many games at 1080p 60fps.
Soon, I plan to buy an Nvidia GT 640 to replace my GT 430 to further improve its performance.
So after buying this retro PC, I started buying games, especially those released during the first half of the 2000s.
I currently have about 70 games. These include DOS games, Windows 95/98 games, and, of course, Windows XP games. I posted many photos so that you can have an idea about the games I have in my collection.
Unfortunately, I have very little time to play on this PC, but every time I do, it's a real pleasure.

An update about my previous post.
I've finally installed the GT640.
Of course, I have a better performance. For instance, in Far Cry 1 (1080p and very high quality), the framerate is increased by 20 to 30fps.
The GPU bottlenecks my CPU now.
And in 3DMark03, my score increased from 19797 to 29345.
Last point, the GT640 has a better cooling. In Far Cry 1 again, I have 40ºc less...
