It is an AMD Athlon 850 MHZ. It is maxed out at a whopping 256 MB ram. It is an old HP computer which has very oddball hardware that I am trying to keep crippling along because the church doesn't have the money to buy a better one. The reason I am running the old custom kernel is because it has an oddball conexant riptide sound card that I have to special handle in the kernel build(3rd party driver and firmware) in order to make it work and it is a pain.
