chesheer<p>So if you ever wondered how OpenBSD 7.7 (most recent one at the time of writing) works on 23-year old PC, I have recorded a boot process.<br>CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (single-core 1.6 Ghz) from 2002. i386, of course<br>RAM: 512 Mb DDR2<br>HDD: Some Western Digital 80Gb hard drive from ~2004<br>Fresh OpenBSD installation without any tweaks and tuning boots in 88 seconds.<br>There's definitely a room for improvement such as turning off libraries reordering (we should't worry about security too much on such machine). Less then a minute is easily possible.<br>But still, results are amazing, I think. It's a 23-year old PC! And it runs the most recent OS without any trouble. Try to do that with Windows 11 or any mainstream Linux distro.<br>Also, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FVWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FVWM</span></a> is pretty snappy and works just fine.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrCtwh8yqU8" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=jrCtwh8yqU8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RunBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RetroComputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FVWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FVWM</span></a></p>

HP van Braam<p>I had performance problems in <a href="https://mastodon.tmm.cx/tags/Doom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Doom</span></a> over <a href="https://mastodon.tmm.cx/tags/IPX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IPX</span></a>, that turned out to be because one of my nics was running at 10 half duplex. </p><p>So I replaced it with a PCI nic. But it wasn't getting an IRQ at all. So I had to move it to a different slot which was directly next to the AGP. So now there's capton tape on the back of the NIC so it doesn't short out against the VGA heatsink.</p><p>Aren't <a href="https://mastodon.tmm.cx/tags/retrocomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputers</span></a> just the best? 😄</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.tmm.cx/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.tmm.cx/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
