How many of you Jow Forumsuys are using "obsolete" machines as your main computers? My specs:

>8 GB DDR3
>HD 7450
>120 GB boot SSD with a 2tb spinning disk
It can't play gaymes or render videos super fast, but it gets the job done for everything else like office, banking, shit posting, etc...

fucking zoomer thread
no tech is ever obsolete faggot fuck off back to
main machine is a 12 year old Precision T7400, main server is a 20 year old Visualize C3000, only limiting factor I've ever really had on either of them is memory size which I'm remedying throwing 32GB into the former and 8GB in to the latter, and I will probably be using both well into the 2020s.

If you have a 64-bit CPU your PC is not anywhere near obsolete.
MacBook Pro Early 2011 13 here, haven't upgraded the RAM and the storage (still 4GB and 320HDD). Running on Linux Mint and I'm still happy
Your PC ain't obsolete user
>what are those old RISC processors that went 64bit far before x86 did
>those specs

I agree, although sometimes I want to upgrade at least to a core 2 duo. Pic related is my only computer, other than a raspberry pi.
>>what are those old RISC processors that went 64bit far before x86 did
I guess you quoting was unintentional. But anyway, those are hardly obsolete.

Any midrange desktop from 2012 will never be obsolete with an SSD.
I don't believe you user.
Well I have about 3 other computers but they don't work. This is the first PC I ever bought and its outlasted everything else. And now I'm too poor to get a new computer so I'll just wait for this one to die before I kms in absolute sadness.
Surely you could buy a cheap optiplex for around the same price as the RAM upgrade and benefit from the significant cpu power increase?
Maybe not for basic stuff, but then again maybe it will be. Word processor used to run fine on a system with 1GB RAM, but now you probably couldnt even check your email on a windows machine with 1GB RAM.
Damn thing sucks down 95 watts to do what a more recent chip can do at 35. It might not be obsolete per se, but it's badly outdated.

Thats right goy.

FX quad core kinda sucks cause it's only 2 modules but the HD7750 is a badass little card. I use a 7970 now but inside how quiet the 7750 was under load
I have to use an older pc machine because my main which was already pretty old died on me. Lucky for me it was free since it was being recycled. Downside it's a 2009 imac, upside I put xubuntu in it and it's fairly usable because of it. Will be quite a long time til I have enough money for a new computer
Not anymore but I'm sure I could go back to my Athlon x2 4600+ and 8600GT.
What are the specs?

I wondered why he put obsolete in quotes then. Gain reading comprehension.
I think so I did look up there's a slot on the bottom or something but prob would cost a lot of money I don't have, since age. Plus better to use that money towards the new system. I've ran some decent older stuff, some with settings turned down , others via wine or proton.

I will probably replace the GPU again sometime soon for something like a 1050 ti.
Still very happy with how the thing runs and operates, can still play any game with just a few tweaks.

The old LGA2011 Xeons from China are even better in this regard. But the 8300 is still doing good for quite many tasks. Plus, it doesn't include a backdoor like Intel ME and AMD PSP.
Try to snag an used 970. Meme status aside I OCd it and runs literally anything at good settings.
The 7970 and HD7750 are amazing budget cards even though they both use a bit of power.
This machine is never obsolete
Install the gpu driver
>HD7750
I mean 970, brain is not with me today.
I also have an 1155 platform but it's a Pentium G645 which I'm not sure if I should replace the Xeon with.
It's an ASUS H61M-A w/ 4GB DDR3 - planning on snagging a i3 2120 and using the HD6950 with that one.
btw, pic related - it's the HD6950 card I found for cheap - GV-R695TOC-1GD.
I love those Gigabyte cards and the metal support that runs along the card to prevent it from sagging like my Sapphire card does.
i5-6500

>i5-6500
That's still pretty much brand new because they're still on 14nm and their HEDT platform is still Skylake-X
I wouldn't even consider an AMD FX system super retro because you could buy that brand new up until march of '17 when ryzen came and killed it, but it's 32nm technology is still from 2011 and it's dead.

Agreed. I can't wait to buy it. For the price the seller asked, it's a pretty nice deal.
I also have a GTX660Ti from Gigabyte in a similar design (2 fans instead of three) but sadly I couldn't get that to work - reflowed it three times and nada. I'm still looking on anything I might have missed, and so far I'm looking at either the MOSFETs being bad or one of the fuses near the PCI-E goldfinger being dud.

You need a new computer user, it's clearly old af, 32nm hardware is so cheap now.
2500K, 8 GB DDR3 1666, started out with a GTX 560 Ti but upgrated to a GTX 970 a few years ago, also switched to a 240 GB SSD at the same time.
Zen 2 SOON.
I literally just upgraded to 45nm coz it's what I can now afford.
That's cool, 45nm chips can be quite powerful.
My computer is just a junk accumulation really.
Haswelll Xeon E3 1276

12GB DDR3 1600 some salvaged from my old x48 board lol
Gtx 970
Gtx 1050ti put in my second pci-e slot for testing, too lazy to remove
240 and 512gb Intel SSD’s
1 TB hybrid, I think I ganked from a laptop when upgrading to an ssd
10 TB WD helium drive(which I’m suspecting is bullshit since it doesn’t feel ANY lighter than a regular hdd, bamboozled again!)
But it all adds up to a very capable shitheap!
Got a quad i5.
I use 20-30 year old PC:s for gaming, and for nothing else
Main computer isnt exactly "new" however
It is 10 years old laptop and it is fine for internets
My HP laptop:
AMD a6-3400m
320GB HDD
8GB 1333mhz DDR3
She's a refurb as well, ended up replacing the fan and screen, but damn if I don't take care of her, she's still in good condition.
What's the absolute minimum you could go in terms of specs?
minimum possible computer for actually useful work these days is dual Pentium-3 Tualatin system and is extremely rare thing
it will have SDRAM memory (!) about 2GB of maximum
it will have SATA drive if you use PCI SATA controller and PATA natively
the GPU will be obsolete for every kind of gaming use, it is AGP at best
These systems was from year 2000 but it is still completely useable for many things
I got one of these with dual pentium 3 cpus 512mb of rambus memory ati rage 64 8mb video and sb16 sound card and a 4gb scsi hard drive
I use a 2010 Lenovo x201, upgraded to 8gb mem, 500gb ssd, win 7.
> he thinks this is obsolete
I'm sorry, faggot. you were saying?

> still using and loving the commodore 64 for 30+ years

> this triggers the atari and spectrum autists
anything 64-bit is not obsolete yet. i'm a fucking zoomer and i'm not this retarded
There were AGP cards up to Radeon 6k series. But anything "modern" gaming wise will use instruction sets not available on those PIII computers.
I have an "obsolete" workstation

Its a nice thunderbox.
Radeon 4850 is the most powerful option I believe. I have it one Athlon XP machine. Extremely shitty drivers and one thing startled me - Doom3 uses system memory for some retarded reason.
anybody else have a theseus' ship of a computer? I started out with a 2010 HP. bought a video card. upgraded the hard drive to an SSD. year or two later the power supply went so I bought a new one. upgraded the case a few months after that for better air flow. upgraded the CPU and mobo last year. so now none of the original is left but it's still sort of the same computer, it's the same windows installation.
Same. I still have the RAM and HDD, everything else is different.
e8400, GTX 280, 4GB RAM.
Not entirely obsolete, runs CSS, csgo decently still.
Sempron 2800+ 1gb DDR and a 150gb HDD.
It becomes a new computer the moment you change cpu and motherboard
Four and five fans will become a thing, so everyone has to buy new cases.
My main rig is like that. I started out in 2007 on an XP with 4 gigs of memory, C2Q and GT8800. Over the years I migrated drives, chagned hardware, but also always fully upgraded OS.
So now I sit on a 5820k with a Vega 64, but still have, essentially, the same system. But obviously it isn't because I switched hardware and software. But filesystem is still the same.
Does this count?
The memories.
My main PC's specs:
512 mb ram (upgraded from 256mb 6 months ago)
Pentium single core
250 GB HDD
Windows 2000
It's a pretty comfy experience
I should really get my Pentium III working.
>but now you probably couldnt even check your email on a windows machine with 1GB RAM.
If you install a system that is bloated on purpose, then sure no, like Winsheet 10.
Debian 9 works fine with 1GB for any non-intensive tasks (mail, light surfing, programming without bloated IDEs).
What browser should you even run with 1GB of RAM?
Browsers like surf or qutebrowser run half-decently, if a bit slow. You could get far better mileage with something like w3m though.
I just collected one of those from my company's CEO to ewaste. Was an old machine he hadn't used in years.
>We moved to an all-laptop company
Thing seems pretty solid for it's age. Love the build quality and modularity, even for a business-class desktop.
>cant play games
my ass
all the best games are as old and low specs anyway
If your computer has an SSD it's not even in quotes obsolete.
