It seems it works? But I don't know why you would need Win 7 because from what I thought all of the newest updates are for XP.

That's nuts.  :palm:

MS recommends 1GB RAM minimum and 1GHz CPU.
When you start loading analysis software (And I've seen some that will use over 300MB of memory) you're going to use up all the memory and be using the swap file on the disk drive. Performance must suck!

This makes no sense to me, but I installed 128Mb of ECC SDRAM into the motherboard (That's it!), ran SP2, and right now XP is installed. I will run more thorough tests with the OS, but it's booting, and seems to be running like a champ on my current setup. :box: I will mention though, I have another partition on the HDD for XP, and have the old '98 setup on another partition as well. (This keeps the PowerPC board happy). I can't seem to figure out how to install the Tek 8000 Series Oscilloscope Application, as I got TekVisa Installed and all of that. I guess I'll go fish for it on the disk.

I'll keep you posted,

Yes, but that one is for XP. In fact, the kit I have got is one of these, but I didn't pay for it directly. It is a long story...

So I installed the drivers for the 7k series on my scope and edited my PowerPC parameters to match the new firmware, but the scope won't load the scope program. Any ideas? (I successfully installed the v5.2 Software)


Thanks!

How does the POWER PC mainboard log compares to the one I published on this thread?. As my unit boots and works on XP, that could be a good lead.
