BTW, I am running on a **laptop** released in 2012 (intel, sadly :p).. no AMD within my price range after I lost everything a couple of years ago :p
It runs very smoothly, considering.
**I have this laptop on top of a document storage ‘box’.. used my hand file.. solder gun.. and heat blower to make holes for the laptop to sit on top of; for the storage space and airflow to giver the laptop some airflow.. and to add all of the necessities to come as close to a desktop as I can (since I have no $$ resources atm (at the moment)
.. OH.. also added a duel-port recharger, and USB 3.07 port hub; all 7 (+3) are being used o.O ..:p)..
I have built my own PCs since the time when they were called “IBM Clone”, and Windows was an itch of Bill Gates.. about the time he stole the OS idea of DOS :p
Loki is the standard starter frame for stealth.
