Yeah I installed that one you’re thinking of.

    Having Socket 775, Puppy Linux and genuinely old hardware in the sentence shook me.

    I still remember being in high school playing Minecraft on those Optiplexes, and even before that playing Poptropica and CoolMathGames…

      775 is old enough to drink and AM2, which AM2+ is an upfitted revision of, is 19 years old.

        Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with you, more so making a comment on how it never occurred to me they were that old today.

        That being said, by the time I was playing with 775 computers they were pretty out of date (2013) and by 2015 all of those machines were replaced at my school. So in a rational sense that explains the time disparity I feel for Socket 775.
