Feels good tbqh

(You)
He clearly said sata3 through pcie, are you retarded?
It still works, just not for PC's

lololol
good luck with running linux kernel 4.9 on a computer from 1998
I'm still using the core2duo desktop i built in 2007. I might upgrade to a Ryzen in a couple of years but i really don't feel like i need to. It does everything i want to do except run Dolphin at full speed
I use linux on my dad's old thinkpad from 1993
What version?
it's a thinkpad 350c, 250mb hard disk
use tiny core linux, the hardest part was the install since the laptop only has a floppy disk and I don't have access to a serial cd drive that's compatible
had to copy the install to the hard disk floppy by floppy then install from partition then resize partition
don't have a floppy drive anymore in my modern computers so I went to my university library since the old servers there have floppies
works pretty well, faster than windows 95 on the machine but slower than win 3.1 which is what I used to keep on it
easiest way to install any os on a machine like that is to get a usb>ide adapter and install the OS through a VM onto the disk
you can get adapters with 2.5" IDE connectors on them for peanuts, don't even need a power brick since 2.5" ide is 44pin with power included, and is 5v-only
I have a computer which can't go further than 130 GBs HDD
What's my cheap and reliable solution for 128 GB storage? I guess buying a used 120 gigs HDD is unreliable
at that point you might as well get an sdd
ssd*
hdd's die most often either when they're brand new, or really old
a lightly used hdd that is known to be working is potentially /more/ reliable than one fresh off the shelf, though it might not last quite as long owing to it being used already
oh, not sure about SSD's
I had one of these until only two years ago or so and I loved the shit out of it. Ran surprisingly fast for a computer from 2005, never had any problems with it at all. Unfortunately the capacitors began leaking and we had to get rid of it. :

you underestimate the power of the turboNEET. They can and will do anything (not because they need, but because they have nothing better to do with their time).
>good luck with running linux kernel 4.9 on a computer from 1998
Not a problem.
Linus still supports the 486, which was released in 1989.
I doubt I can get 120 GB SSD now for cheap.
Also I can only use IDE.
Maybe I can install a USB flash with some switch?
>he can't change capacitors
its not windows
its not that easy anymore with the surface mount meme.

My gaming rig is a 2008 laptop, and it runs games just fine. The only problem is that Nvidia will deprecate drivers for my GPU in 2019, and I'll have to switch back to nouveau, which will cause a huge loss in performance.
