Later it was also established that the same or very similar problem also existed on the 870 EVO model. Linux patch disables TRIM and NCQ on Samsung 860/870 SSDs in Intel and AMD systemsĪbout two years ago, several users of the Samsung 860 EVO SATA SSD started reporting issues on their drives in Linux. Similar cards should be out there on eBay or CraigsList. The latter two will even run in Windows 7 using the default drivers, though neither is supported by any flavor of Windows 8. I have one of each in AGP (original Radeon 7500, pulled from a Dimension GX series running XP (to be replaced with an AIW 8500DV after upgrading to Vista Home Premium), AIW 9700 Pro which uses a floppy-drive power feed, and an X1650 PRO AGP, which, ironically replaced the AIW this last card connects via a Molex for auxiliary power). There are newer GPUs (even in AGP) that will function better than that old AGP chipset - even from AMD.įor Windows XP or any recent Linux distro (since you mentioned XBMC), the Radeon 9xxx series or X1K series should be the lowest you should settle for (although even the original Radeon (7xxx series) will also do - however, this is so low-end you'd likely hate it).

I was about to post the same thing! :p That's all I've come up with too, I have an old AGP system with an older ATI AGP card I was searching for drivers for yesterday, found those and been cruising smooth in XP ever since.
