I doubt that. I think p850ug1 (this machine) is the slowest
linux box currently in use. Can anyone beat 1.15 bogomips?
Yep, my 386sx/25 that was the 16bit databus variant for laptops and low
end systems.
I am not convinced it's slower tham mine... This machine has the original
PC/AT motherboard with a 16MHz master clock. The CPU is a 486SLC-thing
on a kludgeboard plugged into the 80286 socket. 7-and-a-bit Megabytes of
RAM, everythign on the ISA bus.
The system is actually AT class miniboard with 4 ISA
slots (Video board,
comboboard 2 serial 1 parallel,and an IDE/FDC board) and maxed out
at 16MB of ram. In a very compact box for its time (about 1996).
Its .75bogomips running an old version Slackware. Decent command
I am suprsied that it's that slow, given the higher master clock rate,
and more RAM.
line machine but running X is SLOoowwww. That is
officially the oldest
Err, yes... I don't even try to run X on this machine...
