Well, my 5k/133 isn't too loud, it's more the old DEC RZ26L in it which is :-) I've even used it to compile a kermit-mipsel-linux on it and done some cross-platform testing of toy projects which I deemed performance critical. When they are usable on that machine, they are usable everywhere, even on a PDA. So, it's more of a programmers toy to me, but I really like these old boxes with their serial console: delo V0.7 Copyright 2000 Florian Lohoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Loading /etc/delo.conf .. ok Loading /vmlinux ........ ok This DECstation is a DS5000/1xx CPU revision is: 00000230 FPU revision is: 00000340 Primary instruction cache 64kb, linesize 4 bytes Primary data cache 128kb, linesize 4 bytes Linux version 2.4.19-r3k-kn02 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Mon Oct 7 21:30:15 MEST 2002 Determined physical RAM map: memory: 06000000 @ 00000000 (usable) On node 0 totalpages: 24576 zone(0): 24576 pages. zone(1): 0 pages. zone(2): 0 pages.
