I am sure it could run in 8GB using some swap space Yes, 8GB isn't bad at all, 4GB works ok, but with 1GB it's a problem. >>I think my laptop in 2005 was a Pentium 3 with 512MB of ram. >>It would be almost unusable now. > > The Pentium 3 was introduced in 1999, with new models introduced up to > 2003. I probably bought it before 2003. The one after that had a Core 2 and 4GB(?), and I think I got it in 2007. Yes, by 2015, stuff was almost as good as stuff made now. I'm currently using a 2013-era machine (Core i5) though I got it secondhand, more recently. It's working ok and I don't have any pressing need to upgrade. When I want to do something compute heavy, I use remote servers. > As for using it, you might look at ... I can run older and smaller distros on those machines reasonably well, I think. That's fine for text editing but it's not so feasible to browse the web with them. It's also hard to get PATA solid state disks for them, so they'd still have spinny drives of quite low capacity by today's standards. The main use I could think of for them is as console terminals for otherwise headless machines.
