Chilling out to the relaxing sound of C418 Minecraft Volume Alpha on Green Vinyl

@nusquam_tuta_fides as soon they got to like core 2 quad I think we peaked really, I'm pretty sure something like that would run Windows 10 adequately. I have a Pentium 4 era Pentium D and it runs 10 well with 8GB of RAM. That's thing is like over 20 years old.
This might make a really nice dual head OS/2 Warp 4 system, need to dig out an AGP Matrox card and put it to the test.
Minty fresh and fully working now, the onboard video wasn't working previously but now works first try. Also the RAM slots were a bit iffy, must have had grime in them - posted perfectly on the first try.
Love it!
Not exactly a speed demon, but still cool
Decided to try out ReactOS, not sure how it will like a 300MHz CPU though!
That'll do nicely, attached firmly. πŸ‘
The chipset has not been more than just warm, but just in case I've decided to fit a heatsink. It's not square, but the narrowest part is as wide as the chipset and only 5mm high, so it will do.
