Hi Alicia, I just discovered your website here... and that there is, or was, a thing called VEDS; I totally missed that and will make a note of it for next year! I also noticed on my clicky-travels that your site's button, while professing to be 88x31, is actually 88x33 ;-)

hi brian! the VEDS crew is a small but welcoming community and I'm sure everyone would be glad to have another vlogger join the ranks next september! as for my site's button, I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. it's 88x31! at least, it is now ;)

What version of Ubuntu is your 'Phenom' running under? Ubuntu is so bloated now that I would be surprised to learn that it can run on a 10 year old CPU.

@anonyme It's still on Ubuntu 18.04 but it runs fine. It's a Phenom II X6 1045T, 4GB RAM with an SSD. I have an older AMD Athlon 5200+ on Ubuntu also, it's slow starting up from its old hard drive, but once it's up and running it's fine. Which modern-day Linux variant do you prefer?

Hi Anonyme, thanks for following! I have looked at the specs for your PC build; that's going to be a fun project! I think that case looks good. My only recommendation would be to use an SSD, at least for the OS, the system will be much quicker.

You're welcome ! I really love the aesthetic of your site. Thanks for reassuring me about my choice of parts for my PC, I was nervous about it, I will not forget to buy an SSD too, thanks for the tip ʕ·ᴥ·　ʔ

@geouniversal The SETI@home project is no longer providing work so I've switched to the einstein@home project. This and others use the BOINC software which can indeed be run on Windows XP and earlier: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/List_of_projects_by_system_requirements

replacing the mb seems like... replacing the entire laptop. Shame it doesn't work, cool article though

I used to have (well, I still have) one of those HP laptops. I suppose it wasn't a bad laptop, but at the time using it felt quite sluggish despite 4 gigabytes of memory.

@floppys-lounge it will benefit from an SSD although older graphics processing can struggle with day-to-day life online
