Model: ThinkBook 14 Gen 2 AMD | CPU: Ryzen 7 4700U | RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz | OS: Windows 11 Pro Model: intel NUC NUC5CPYH | CPU: Celeron N3050 | RAM: 2GB DDR3L 1600 MHz | SSD: Kingston UV400 120 GB | OS: Debian Bullseye Being as this will be my first venture into linux, what would be the suggestion for a lightweight linux os that won't cripple the system when an emulator front like RetroArch is run? If it is an option could the emulator front like this be the sole os?ĬPU: i5-8600K 5.0 GHz | GPU: GTX 1660 | RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz | Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic | PSU: Corsair RM 650i | SSD: Corsair MP510 480 GB | HDD: 2x 6 TB WD Red| Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro | OS: Windows 11 Pro for WorkstationsĬPU: AMD Athlon 3000G | GPU: Vega 3 iGPU | RAM: 8 GB DDR4 3000 MHz | Case: Corsair 88R | PSU: Corsair VS 650 | SSD: WD Green M.2 SATA 120 GB | Motherboard: MSI A320M-A PRO MAX | OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations The system has a pentium 4(1 core), 1gig of ram, board has A02 BIOS, and only 76G of storage when unformatted.
The endgame is to have it as an emulator for it to run retro games, other functionality is a plus. The problem with windows is the ram requirements for almost everything, so I turn to linux for an even more bare bones os to put less stress on this old horse.
Wanting some form of security I found the novelty of installing windows 10 home, on a system that can't run windows 7 to my knowledge. After some light research I found the possibility of upgrading on the Optiplex's pentium 4 with the LGA775 socket, but decided against spending money as I want this as a pure revival not a "million dollar man" project. I cleaned them off, both the system and HDD for protection and decided on the Optiplex as the most usable. Of the survivors was an e-machine from '01 at most, and a Dell Optiplex 210L from '06. only 2 memory slots, so this really the only configuration you can get 4 GB in.The other day I was spring cleaning and came across several old pc's 2 still kicking and one with dead capacitors on the board. The BIOS firmware update is current, at version A02.Īdditional Info: Chipset is Intel i915P/i915G which supports up to 8 GB of RAM. The machine has an onboard video card, but it only has 8 MB allocated to it and I've installed an add-in video card with it's own onboard 256 MB of RAM, so it shouldn't even be using that.
Resource Monitor reports 4 GB total, but shows 1290 MB reserved for "hardware". Windows reports 4 GB total, but only 2.72 GB available. I did a clean install of Win7 64-bit and then I upgraded it to it's max of 4 GB of RAM. I recently picked up a Dell Optiplex 210L with 1 GB of RAM.
