Need old Intel 845g System to test with

PirateNinja

Does anyone have an old system with Intel 8xx based onboard graphics and no other gpu? I need to test some software on one.

Thank you for reading

i have "A HUGE: collection of it

i845g
i865g/ep
i875

so on

all of them are M-ATX with 2 DDR1 slot....most of them / all has AGP slot, any with "g"at the end has intel igp as well

why must i845"g"?

I just need something with an 8xx series onboard graphics used as its primary display adapter and with no additional gpu installed. I'm getting various reports that my software does't play video properly and I have a big educated guess that it is because the 8xx series "extreme graphics" does not support hardware accelerated dx9 video playback.

I actually just need someone with one of those computers to fire it up, install my software, run it, and tell me if they can see video playback on it or not.

If you can do that for me I'll buy you a beer or get you some other form of friendly pay. I am not actually interested in buying one of these computers, it isn't that important to me for now.

not a problem, intel 8xx means direct 8 only, 9xx means direct 9.... as name imply. i can run it and test it for u

According to Intel's documentation the 8xx series was designed around directx 6.2 .. it actually supports .. and this is how loose their documentation is ... "various features" of directx 9, but it doesn't hint at what features those are.

Software is here: ezvid.com

Thank you, let me know if I can get you a cup of coffee or anything.
