| From: Stewart C. Russell <scruss@gmail.com> | the machine is a Pentium M, so | I'll have to try to work around PAE issues. Seems easy. The hard part is behind you: realizing that there is a problem and what it is. <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE> How much RAM does it have? How much can it have? That's the main cause of machines becoming useless to me. | To Hugh's comment, yes, a Raspberry Pi 3 is often faster than this | machine. I ran ByteMark on this vs a bunch of machines I have about the | house*, and the Pi 3 came out faster than the R51, and also faster than | a ~2009 Atom dual core. OK. That is interesting. I don't have a feeling for ByteMark. I remember thinking it was a pretty simplistic set of benchmarks when it came out but it could have changed over the (30?) years. I seem to remember that it was designed without consideration of what optimizers might do. If I remember correctly, it is all about CPU processor speed. It might be testing memory bandwidth, but it might be small enough that everything fits in a modern processor's cache. But those are what I'm most interested in anyway. | *: including an Intel/Arduino Galileo, which was utterly dire. Not a surprise. But sad / funny. Is there anything interesting about a Galileo? Is its performance respectable for its power consumption?
