I just pulled out an old desktop work computer from back in the day. I think I bought this thing from New Egg years ago. The name on the case is SYXSystemax. It has a Asus M3A78-EM with a AMD Phenom 9600 Quad core. There are 8 gigs of ram and a 80 gig HD. I know I used this guy at work years ago but I swear I didn't remember it being so slow. You can almost go make a sandwich while waiting for it to open a browser. I loaded Linux Mint 20.2 to speed things up. It had Windows 7 on it before the re-format. Still almost as slow as my Rpi4.
I am thinking about putting a 1 tb ssd in it and use it as a bbs machine. Anyone out here ever run across a system like this?
