User Feedback :: what is the slowest computer you have running dsl?



Hi guys

AMD K5 75 MHz, 32 MB RAM, CD ROM, NO hard disk.
The f**** BIOS doesn't allow to boot from the CD, so I boot from a floppy.
Dillo is working nice, Firefox doesn't work at all.

Perrociego (from a rainy Buenos Aires)
Pentium 1 Mobile @ 133Mhz, 80 MB RAM, 2.4 GB HDD.
It's a Compaq LTE 5300 Laptop, dsl runs like a god on it, takes som time to start up though (takes 3 times longer time than with Slackware, but dsl is smaller so I use that instead).
Compaq Armada 7730MT Pentium 166 MMX, 32 MB Ram, 2 GB hdd-(128MB Swap, Rest for OS)HD install.
Rus great, boots DSL about as fast as my 2.8 GHz 1 GB Ram Desktop boots Fedora core 3. Use dillo (cause I like it), firefox loads in about 30-60 sec. Xmms plays audio.......but I can't hear it! (havn't figured out what's wrong yet, alsa says no audio card). Linksys 10/100 PCMCIA card on Road runner. Pages load pretty quick. Vesa graphics 800x600 32bpp mode (probably be faster on a lower setting but I'm willing to sacrifice. :D

I am also attempting a hdinstall on a couple of old packard bells P200MMX 32MB 1.7 GB hdd, P 233 MMX 32 MB 1.7 hdd. And my favorite one: A Compaq 486DX? with a cyrix Socket 3 100 MHz, 32 MB ram and 1.7 GB hdd. The packards bells are onboard video with original multi ISA (snd\modem) the compaq is a SB16ISA, S3 ISA and has NO PCI slots!! :-P
Hey if anyone wants them , I have a coupl pentium 75 MHz Processors to play with....
Pentium 100MHz
40MB RAM
800x600 24bit
HD install
Runs very decent with dillo and AMSN
I can also get firefox to work after waiting 30sec to load it up
