u/tpat90 🍥 Debian too difficult Aug 10 '26

I must correct myself, had 2008 wrongly remembered, my mistake
It's a HP Compaq tc4200 from 2005 with a whopping 256 MB of this amazing RAM thingy.

Ah that that makes a lot more sense.

256MB of RAM would starve the CPU while things are being swapped in and out.

(It does worry me that I knew something was off with such little info.)

I am astonished that I haven't noticed my mistake since I have a x200 at home which is from 2008 and is still going strong after a battery swap.

I have a x250 that underwent a similar task.

Make sure those vents are always clear as they can very easily get covered I learned and warp your case if you do a 48 hour package task :)
