Hi everyone ...

Have been looking for reliable information about compatibility between P4 520/521 2.8 with Windows 8.1. I've been reading around anda found out that to install Win8.1, processor MUST support PAE, NX and SSE2. Just runned Coreinfo by Sysinternals and it returns that This processor does not support NX. Is it true ? Or is there a workaround for this issue ?

Thank you.
