My P4 Cruncher, running Mint, has only 768MB of RAM. It is running like a champ! I think it may even jump over my main rig, This Old Comp, running Win7 w/ 2.25GB. Of course there is the matter of the MGHz...2.8 in the P4 versus 2 in This Old Comp.
It might be a while but, T.O. Comp has 71 results and the P4 already has 45.
Oh, I almost forgot! My local computer guru buddy has a SATA drive for the MAD Cruncher! I should have it sometime next week, maybe even Sun.
I should have that noise-maker up and running for a few days. I may have to move out of this place...rent issues. I'm hoping to talk him into giving me another chance, since work at the Day Labor place and a few other new connections, have been looking up. If it doesn't work out... well, I'll let you all in on it, probably from the Library! Sad, things seemed to be looking good for me on a bunch of fronts, then this crazy bombshell...Oh well.
