my mom or dad bought this weirdly powerful-for-the-time laptop in 2005, dell xps m140

512 mb of ram and a pentium m, i mean thats not half bad right?

@kirby
Give it a 2 Gb swap partition and it would be a nice machine for TUI stuff, maybe occasional Fedi scrolling with Bloat and surf. I have a ThinkPad T40 with half a gig of RAM and 1,5 GHz Pentium-M: I can run gomuks for Matrix chats, mutt for email, amfora and w3m, and tut for TUI Fedi experience — it's not THAT bad.

@m0xee i mean even at the time i think the amount of memory this thing had would have probably been a deal breaker in some cases, but otherwise it's widescreen which iirc wasn't common in 2005, and has windows media center of all things

multimedia machine..

@m0xee im not even planning to do anything modern on it tho lol im probably going to install a nightly build of reactos to see if it explodes

@kirby @m0xee you could run Haiku on it

@gray @m0xee i might but it's probably going to work normally, kind of looking for a wild ride rn

@kirby @m0xee in that case ReastOS is probably perfect for you
