I've been having problems with one of PC's (its running Linux Mint 18) and old (really old) Dell Optiplex from a 2001 build. It had been running so slow that it reminded me of days with the 2 MHz 8 bit machine with the single sided floppy drive. Anyway I replaced that with a duo core Dell Laptop N50...
