Hey /g/ - i have a pentium 4 1.7ghz 768mb of ram
PATA slots ....

I'm thinking of making this a server or something. maybe dual booting Arch + XP to have a retro games machine... What can i do with this on arch?

I'm thinking of wanting to run : Docker, Mongo, MySql, Node, nginx+php and Mono + ASP vNext - all in small quantities (Kinda just to have a test and benchmark shit) and not all these at once. just to have a server that i can just have...

As well as something like samba or vsftpd for a file server system

Also I have a 320GB HDD and a 80GB HDD - the 320GB is significantly slow as fuck (from someone elses' machine), the 80GB is a god damn unhuman juggernaut that's pretty ok

One of these is going in my 486, one of these in the pentium 4... you chose - Currently it has about 40GB (the p4 - the 486 has a fucking 305MB HDD) Also anyone know if grub can work on a 486 - like i want to multiboot between Win95 (or maybe i'll just go back to Dos 6.22\Win3.11) and freedos

Well you'll probably want the faster one in the server.

It would work well for retro gaming. Server stuff is highly variable, you'd be better off buying a newer low power box for it (the p4s didn't support frequency scaling like the new processors do).

dude you're better off chucking those and getting a raspi 3

Pentium 4's nowadays are hella slow and suck TONS of power
