Single core, 32 bit CPU, can't even do video playback on VLC. But it kinda works for some offline work, like text editing, and even emulation through zsnes! It's crazy how Linux keeps old hardware like this running.

Thankfully though, this laptop CPU is upgradable, and so is the ram, so I'm planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century ๐Ÿ˜„

Mine was a SPARCclassic. I had two of them, one ran OpenBSD as the gateway and I put early Gentoo on the other one. It took days to build initially.
