q6600 is quite good for factorio. I replaced mine about half a year ago and before that I was playing heavily modded factorio with relatively big bases on the CPU just fine.tehroach wrote:The old Q6600 still has a lot of power really and I am pretty sure that it would be ample for the task
Fairly certain it's is either pentium 3 or 4. i686 isn't really a specific CPU type as were the 386/486 and the like. Essentially, anything from Pentium MMX'es to first Pentium 4's were i686's.tehroach wrote:@robopilot99 are you sure that is truly an i686 and not a Pentium 4 in an i686 case?
