I don't know what version you have been using but in 4.3 recent version for all kinds of x86:starhawk wrote:I've used Android x86, and it has some interface hurdles that will be hard for people -- like how when you right-click you go back a screen even tho what you wanted was to pull up a context menu like in Windblows or Puppy.
Just received an Optiplex gx520 today; will try Android on it.oldaolgeezer wrote:nubc, don570 and L18L:
After reading your posts about Android-x86 for PC's, I thought I'd give it a brief try on my Dell Optiplex GX520 (512 megabyte memory) desktop.

Newest 4.4 continues this problem as they deprecate or change support of features of application architecture causing issues with old programs.
