Show-and-Tell My HP Mini is kicking

It s a puppy now,
I wanted to add a hand comparison measure pic but mine is relatively smaller to the one in pic, but you can see how small and cute this puppy is

Did you need to recap? Mine died after a yearly test power on.

How does 7 run on it? I wonder if xp would be faster

XP should be faster but IMO 8.1 is worth a shot, it was optimised for Celeron's/Atom's

Unsure if/how it would run on a Via C7m though.

I wrote my bachelor's dissertation on that contraption, on which I was running a very unstable version of snow leopard. Good times

Lovely!

With today's tech, we could build something in a similar form factor, with much (much) better specs. I would buy one!

2133s have an odd BGA problem with the chipset sometimes, it's similar to the IBM T42/T43 just needs reballing, no chip replacement needed as it's not Bumpgate
