I have had a request by a client to see if some legacy hardware is supported by openSUSE 10.3. Most of the things they asked about I could sort out. It just left me with this: ASUS P2B-S Motherboard (CPU - Pentium 2 350/512/100/2.0 S1)
Upgrade the CPU to a P3/450 at least.
ATI Mach 64 PCI
I have this in a PowerMac with a G4/533 and it plays movies just fine, and the desktop is smooth if slightly slow. I had 11.0 installed on a Thinkpad 390x with a Neomagic 256/2.5MB chip and it was fine. It also had a P3/450.
The system should run KDE 3.5. No fancy graphics effects. I suspect it could be pushing it with a 350 MHz P2. Even id the graphics card is decent. Aside from suggesting a hardware upgrade, any constructive opinions?
Processor upgrade to at least a P3/500 and the more RAM the better. I have 2 thinkpads with 256MB RAM, and they get slow if I open more than 3 or 4 tabs in Firefox running KDE3.5.10. One's a P3/700 with a 4MB ATI Mobility(Rage) and the other is a P3/1Ghz with an 8MB Card. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
