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.

@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
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?
I currently using Linux Mint 20 LTS and it run like it beast (though I running on an 10-years machinie with out-of-date Intel card).
