old computer (p4-pD) update.

I have a computer that started life as a p4. It then was updated by me to a pentium D 945. It was the biggest meanest and most powerful CPU the chipset would handle.
  I also upgraded the memory to 4 Gb the max the system will handle.

  The hard drive is a Seagate SATA 7200 rpm 200Gb. From what I can tell it is a 2003 - 2004 vintage hard drive. It is starting to have mechanical issues. So it shall be replaced by a solid state drive.

  As far as OS, it started life as a XP machine. When I got it, I added Linux mint, followed by xubuntu, Lubuntu, and then Ubuntu studio. Linux distros for the most part have dropped support for x86 and i686 processors. So it now has become a 32 bit Debian 11 machine.

So for now this machine will live for many more years.
