My latest 3 installs were Mandriva Cooker, 10.3 and Factory on one 5 year old puter (Dell GX260 2000MHz P4 400). I have a houseful of puters. They average probably around 5-6 years old. I have 10.3 and/or Factory on 10 in all, and on neither of the two newest/fastest ones. The oldest of those 10 is a 10 year old BX440 with 100FSB running a PIII @ 700 MHz with 512M of PC100. All the recent versions seem faster than the last, particularly compared to 9.1 and 9.2 with their early 2.6 kernels. Plenty of RAM helps more than a fast CPU. I always partition prior to starting an installer, so there's always swap to keep limited RAM from being an installation issue here. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
