They gave me a Pentium4 and the motherboard is an Asus P5LD2-SE, looking for information on this card I discovered that it can mount up to the Core2Duo E6700. Unfortunately my revision is 1.0 so I can't mount it. But it reminded me of a possible support computer for retrocomputers. Since this card (in the C2D compatible version) has the IDE channel, the Floppy drive, the SATA as standard, it could be an excellent laboratory computer for creating Floppy disks, testing IDE drives etc. The only doubt is whether Windows 10 works with a C2D E6700 and whether it works at least decently to be able to navigate, download software, burn CDs... or whether the CPU is too slow. I'm currently using an AMD A4-5300 which unfortunately doesn't have floppy or IDE support so it's very limited. Plus this AMD is quite slow to run Win10, would the E6700 be better or at least the same? If it were slower it would be useless. What if instead of installing win10 on the E6700, I installed Windows7? Is it still decently supported at browser level?
