Hi guys,
I'm not sure where to post this or if this is the right place so go easy on me please.
It does seam like a software question but I'm not sure where to post it there.
I am thinking on recovering one of my old systems (P4 2.0GHz, 1GB DDR, 60G HDD, nVidia 6600 128MB) to experiment stuff on it and because I hate to see it laying around with no purpose at all. The mother is broken and I found a SH one for about $25.
But before I go buying it I am curious on what I can actually do with this old system.
So I was thinking I can emulate the hardware and install some old/light OSs and see what happens.
Are there any software solutions that can help me emulate the hardware AND install OSs inside iit? Something like VirtualBox/VMware but with emulation options? I know Virtual PC has these options but since it's MS software you can only run Windows inside.
Any ideas?
