it runs pretty nicely... It seems that you have 512MB RAM but I have 2GB and discrete graphics(Radeon X300)even though they're horrible anyway :D and this is on a Live USB...post-1122019-0-07907000-1384561321_thumb.png

Thats not old

 

There are plenty of systems out there that still run Windows 98, and that config (500MHz, 5GB hard drive, 64MB RAM) could be an excellent computer.

 

But, I don't have one of those.

 

Maybe I can compile an old Linux kernel (pre-1994) on a Commodore 128?

That's not really old...I got one for you...:D

 

In Toledo, the school districts answering machine service is ran on a single old Dell optiplex tower, running 64mb of sd ram, 233 Pentium, and running a variant of freebsd. But it works amazing. :D

I always look to spread out the best from my computers old or new ...

 

With a proper Sw every pc will make the difference running faster, smooth and stable.

 

I never pretend to run the last os ( upgrade , upgrade , upgrade) on my Pc.

I want a pc that boots fast, respond to my needs quickly and never crashes.

Linux and Os x are my preferred choices.

Win Xp and Windows7 too , but i removed a lost of unused stuff making a very light weight Os

and different from original.

 

My Win Xp run in 200 mb of ram and have only 18 services.
