Kyle: I use the little brother of the 6400 the 4300 with 4GB of ram.
LL 3.0 64bit runs fine. I use it for normal tasks internet, music, office, development of web (PHP/SQL), desktop applications (FreeBasic/Lazarus) and Android apps (Android Studio) and light games via steam, minecraft or retro games (dosbox). As a backup I have an old Dell D505. Run LL 2.8 32bit fine and is fast enough for internet and light office work.

I personally dumped my gaming laptop for the stability of the Dell Latitude 4000-6000 line, they are also built very well (plenty of weight) but are constructed with a really durable palm rest.

It runs faster from the SDHC!
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable 3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable 4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.

I have an ancient Dell Dimension desktop, 12 years old, that runs AntiX 32-bit, because even Linux Lite is kinda slow on it. My main computer is a Dell Vostro 200, I think about 4 or 5 years old, running Linux Lite 3.8 effortlessly.

Antix is great for old machines. I have a number of old PC's that would struggle to run Linux Lite or similar, mostly socket 462 AMD Athlon and AthlonXP machines with a few Pentium II, III and IV's thrown in the mix. I even have some old socket 7 Pentium I and AMD K6 boards and CPU's laying around but they're not built or running anything at the moment, I might build one up as a DOS gaming machine in the near future.
Puppy Linux is great too for these old machines and I run that also on a few. For the really old Pentium 2 and 3's I have either Windows 98 for retro gaming or Damn Small Linux installed or a old version of Puppy from the version 1 and 2 days. ![]()

Now 2 computers, one is bought 2017, its specs around before then, as below username.
Other it is having a sticker saying it came with Windows Vista originally, this is 32 bit LL. Both computers using Linux Lite 3.2 When Linux can do the graphics, it feeds downstream, I am get similar to 2017, to replace the vista age one.

Squeaking some extra life out of an old HP d8000 Circa 2006
Processor AMD Turion 64 1.8 GHz - 2GB DDR SDRAM - 80GB IDE Hard Drive Surprisingly it doesn't run that badly for most things-It can play a YouTube video if there isn't a lot of other stuff running.

[member=296]justme2[/member] gained a level in Necromancy after successfully reviving an almost two year old thread!
![]() I juste mentionned it in another thread but since its on the subject, for those machine not able to run Linux Lite adequately (?), try PeppermintOS 8 respin2. Live booted to 121MB RAM and 141MB once installed. (LXDE + XFCE/Whisker hybrid). I just tested if for an hour on half-decent hardware but it could reanimate those older closet PCs. ![]() Cheers!

well actualley this wasnt my computer first(i took it from my father less than a year ago) but it was made in 2008 (man at that time this laptop was the laptops slayer and now its laptops crap) 1 GB ram -somehow 64bit capable laughable 2 GHz CPU no dedicated graphics card
and PS: [member=6733]TheDead[/member] iwas thinking about leaving LL due to that I need multitasking that I couldn't do in LL but then an idea came out ...why not make it really lite : remove firefox and install opera (32 % faster) remove vlc and install some gnome video player remove word app (i don't remember its name) and install abiword and hey every day I remove something and add something *liter* and i can really notice a difference now i can go back to 64 bit when its removed in ll4.0 cheers
Just Installed Linux lite??? check this tutorial
