rust takes AGES to compile literally anything. also the compiler on i686 requiring SSE2 instructions is a massive thorn in my side as a old computer user and is the primary driver of my hatred of rust lmao. it gets in my way quite a lot since rust has creeped its way into a lot of open source projects these days

My comrade, tell me what old stinky i386 CPU you use!! meow-tankie

a 80386, multiple 80486's, a pentium-133, a pentium2, and two non-sse2 pentium4s. and they all have useful purposes for various things. things you cant do with an emulator

old

stinky

now look here buddy shoulder-grab

yes, even the awful netbursts have their use. and no, that use is not "spaceheater" even if they do that as a secondary function

Anything they can do that an Athlon XP would not? Purely curious (also I have always wanted an Athlon XP or 64 system rip)

athlon XPs dont support DMA over their ISA bus. the p4 can with specific chipsets

lea-think I have a S478 board with an ISA slot... cool stuff?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

only if it has one of the chipsets which will allow full DMA over the isa slot, aka the intel 8xx series

the intel 865/875 is the best one as it supports a faster FSB over the older 845 and 815 chipsets

they're kinda rare tho and if it does have one, the 845 with the slower FSB is way more common then the others
