So, I decided today to put a old system I had here. The specs are:
* CPU: Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (originally this would be a single-core 3500+)
* Mobo: Asus A8V
* RAM: 2x1GB TITAN DDR 400MHz
* VGA: Radeon X800 PRO
* HDs: 160 GB IDE for OS, 250GB SATA for games and data
* Drives: LG DVD-RW and 1.44' floppy (acting as a placeholder for a missing frame 🤣 )
* PSU: Zippy HP2-6400P (400W)
* OS: Win XP SP3
* Case: Generic white ATX case with bad 5 1/4' frames and a missing 3 1/2' frame

From what I remember this was a top class system in 2004/2005, so I expect to run everything from circa that time pretty smooth.
I've used this machine (with the original single core A64 and a FX5200) for a year or so. It was the last machine with second-hand parts I've used, but it still is quite fast, booting up in less than 15 seconds. I wonder how will it fare against modern internet.
Any cool suggestions to do with this little machine? 😀
