It's really appreciated that a piece of software still runs on old

obsolescence, and give a chance to recycle older machines i.e. for schools
or organizations. That's one of the focus of Musix and other distros and
desktop environments.
I guess that if a developer/you you have no time to do those checks, your
time is better spent on development; these days spare time and resources
are scarce.
Thanks.

Thanks (and thanks everyone else who replied).
I'm trying to get some concept of 'scale' for want of a better word.
Myself, I still have one of the earliest AMD Athlons running at 1.1G and
is on
it's 2nd PSU and 3rd? 4th? HD.
From time to time I run Yoshimi on it to see how it behaves. I have to
switch
off most of the compiler optimisations as it doesn't support modern sse
stuff.
I think it's fair to say it trots rather than runs :)
I'm wondering if I should continue to check against this, or send it off
to the
home for geriatric computers.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Is anyone still using such a thing for audio
work?

I use a lenovo ideapad S12 (single core with Hyper-Threading) for
PianoTeq and B4 organ via Wine (unfortunately the latter does not
longer run in my latest Mint installation).
I have to switch off network, Hyper-Threading and set the governor to
performance and the internal sample rate to 22050 Hz to have enough
polyphony. Then it works quite well.
BTW: why do you ask?
