Hello from #snac , running on an old Pentium 3 900 MHz system with 512MB of RAM and 40GB 5400RPM HDD with #OpenBSD as operating system

This is very slow. And that's not caused by the old CPU. Hopefully a new ssd + ide>sata adapter will arrive soon.

Messy working table with an old 4:3 lcd display and a white / blue bordered pc case from ~2000 , medion lifetec tower with pentium iii. the screen shows jwm window manager with three terminals open, one large on the left with the daemon log showing the snac log, then two smaller ones on the right side, the top showing fastfetch with ascii fish and under that the terminal is running htop showing system stats like cpu and ram usage , running processes

Why on earth do I need a dual Pentium II setup??
And why did I made an offer for it >_<

Alright, I am now owning (when received) a brand new and sealed Micronics Spitfire EX (09-00302-XX) Dual Slot 1 Mainboard and two Pentium II 350MHz. Unfortunately the 440LX chipset only support 66MHz FSB CPU's, so my ordered CPUs will only run at ~233MHz, which will be fine for me in the first place. Maybe I can do some overclock or so.
I really hope I have enough large SD Ram lying around to pack it up with the maximum of 1GB.
Pentium II is new enough to run a modern Linux Kernel on it, but I feel like I am more interested in throwing #OpenBSD on it, because I never really hacked around with it yet and it would fit IMHO better to this hardware.
Running a #snac instance on it, would be an idea. I really wonder, how that will perform.
Stay tuned.
