Found an old Compaq....

It has an AMD Sempron 3000+,
256Mb of ram (unknown, no markings)
Integrated graphics
And everything else is the normal computer. Would it be worth using as a 24/7 folder?

I still have a bunch of Socket A rigs (XP-M Barton) folding, making well over 100 ppd on regular Wus and up to 200 ppd on bonus WUs.

Put it to use as a fileserver or smoothwall AND let it fold!

Alright, Would running ubuntu be better than XP? It needs an os.

Ubuntu is Free,

Free is good.
