update: I replaced the older T2xxx Socket M processors in those old laptops with new T7200 processors, about $9 each from eBay and Hong Kong. That makes them 64 bit, and increases cache, for the same operating power. I do not know about the long-term reliability of the particular devices I purchased. They may be relabeled counterfeits. Still, assuming these or other T7200s are reliable, my stockpile will remain useful for a long time. Does anyone know about future kernel processor requirements, or what RHEL 8, 9, ... might demand from hardware? I am slowly converting my running machines from SL5.5/6.5 and Gnome2 to SL7 and Mate, with inadequate progress notes at http://wiki.keithl.com/SL7 Keith P.S.: I got a lot of fnal.gov rejects sending this. Likely PEBKAC, but if you see more than one copy then I misinterpreted the reject messages, sorry. -- Keith Lofstrom kei...@keithl.com
