thin client pc
daywane:
Not sure where to post this. Probably everything else. I LOVE to tinker. I Just learned about HP thin client PCs After watching Videos of people running batocera and Prime OS on them I jumped to E Bay. I think I lucked out. I found a HP T620 Thin Client AMD GX-415GA 1.5GHz 4GB RAM 16GB Flash SSD Factory Sealed I won the bid for $32.00 free shipping.
have any of you played with a Thin Client?

Is it just a PC? What kind of performance can you expect out of something like this? Would MAME run games up to early 90s? Because if yes, $32 seems like the way to go...

Yes it is a PC. 10 years old new in box. very Limited. 16 gig m.2 drive, 4 gig of memory. all can be upgraded. I just won the auction and never seen one as of yet. TechDocUK o YouTube shows playing N64 games with Android. It is more powerful than a Raspberry 3 and the Pi3 will run 90s arcades.
The videos I have seen it running Batocera.linux were of console games.
I have multiple raspberry Pi's but during the cough cough Raspberry PI corp dropped the home market. I am done with them

If I remember correctly any video showing Rom play is a no no.
so here is a video showing just the thi client specks.
