Greetings
I don't have my computer smart hubby near, so far couldn't find any answers by searching, and so I am going to rely on help from any and all who can give me some needed information here.
We have a used computer with:
ASUS P5-99VM ma board
SisAGPset 530 w/support for 100MHz 3D VGA etc
AMD K6-2/450 processor
64 SDRAM
(partitioned 2 hard drives of 3G and 6G) very slow system-cannot load anti-virus software, just not enough memory, or whatever
We want to upgrade and make the switch to Knoppix Linux
"Requirements state that Intel compatible CPU (i486 or later)
32MB of RAM for text mode, at least 96 MB for graphics mode with KDE (at least 128 MB of RAM is recommended to use various office products
bootable CD-ROM drive, or a boot floppy and standard CD-ROM
standard SVGA-compatible graphics card,
serial or PS/2 standard mouse or IMPS/2-compatible USB-mouse"
I've ordered a 40G hardrive as well 128 memory, and an anti-static wrist strap, plus an add-on CPU fan and a 80m case fan to improve cooling conditions in case.
The question is that I don't know if my AMD K6 2/450 processor is i486 compatible or higher. And if it isn't, what size would work with my current motherboard that is i456 compatible?
Thank you in advance for your time and any help you can give
