surely they mean hdd, (storage)“memory”

edit: or 256Mb of ram

[–] moody@lemmings.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

256 megs of RAM is a lot of memory for a 700 mhz Celeron.

[–] BBQThunder@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously? Who blew that much money on RAM with just a Celeron proc? Clearly built by a n00b.

Bigger number better, sold to you by a specialist at the store

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Given the age of the thing it's more like 256mb ram. Which actually would have been good for the era. 256gb HDDs of the era were a bit more rare. I recall in 2008 a 750gb drive cost me a lot, let a lone 2 of them to run raid0.

I remember when I spent a months income to upgrade my home machine from 2 to 18 megabytes. That was more than all our companies' servers together...

That looks like the exact computer I had as a teenager in the 90s lol

It is the exact same one. It has come back to haunt you.

Looks like my old HP Pavilion with Windows ME.

Are there motherboards that can take a 700 MHz processor, and also 256 GB of RAM?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I thought as much.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You just download the extra 255.7GB, duh.

Case could make for a sick sleeper build. RGB would light up behind that front plastic alright and you could swap out those trays with some sweet display panels.

I run it on my t440p with libreboot! It takes a while to compile, I didn't update for 3 months, and it took a day 1/2 to finish minus the compile times, Its rock solid and does everything i want it to do, plus the freedom of gnu/linux and libreboot are a major plus.

I also use Gentoo and I can vouch that it's reliable with the right configuration. I just wish it has a stable version. Never on the Arch Linux level of breaking things tho.

"Turns and works normally" sounds like what someone would say to convince me this isn't the Zoolander of PCs

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What do you mean my pc turns on and works normally. On a seprate note, How do you guys control the fire that comes out?

[–] pixelscience@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could burn so many .mp3 CDs with that thing!!!

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

One word Limewire

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

YOU CAN PLAY DEER HUNTER ON THIS BAD BOY!

[–] Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Will it run crysis?

[–] PINKeHamton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Play quake 3

[–] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Put Gentoo on it, Gentoo user
