Really, my CPU is an Intel Pentium 4 D. It's a newer Dual Core Pentium 3.0Ghz processor. I'm running Fedora FC4 x86_64 and FC5t2 x86_64. My friend has an older Pentium ( II I think ). I'd like to load a hard disk for him with Fedora 32bit so all he has to do is replace his hard drive. I just need to know if a fresh install from my machine onto a hard drive ( that I install on my machine for the install ) will likely run when he installs it into his. His machine has a pretty plain vanilla IDE interface, as does this drive.
