Just tested my old Athlon 64 3700+ & Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Just tested my old Athlon 64 3700+ & Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600.

Everything working fine, just need two graphics cards, cases and hard drives.

What can I possibly use these two setups for these days? I don't even think they can handle 1080p...

Used to have a Q6600 and a gtx 750 ti and had a blast with a lot of games as long as I knew I wasn't going to max out anything.

They actually make awesome programming test rigs.
I have a single core 2.8GHz P4 (I shit you not) running XP that I squirt code down for testing.
If it's too slow or throws up a "can't load DLL", I return to my devbox and fix it.

XP/POSReady 2009 machine with SMB and internet access disabled, Getting 4 or 8GB DDR2 is going to be expensive if you're going to do modern-ish stuff on them. Or a power hungry file server.

the fuck is intel core 2 quad? It's quad core. Probably a shitty one, that got severely smoked by the i7 920 @ OC'ed at 4 Ghz released less than 2 years later.

That i7 is so good it's relevant even for modern games when paired with a decent GPU. I used it till 2016, and upgraded to X5650 (9+ year old CPU), which is basically the same arch. as i7 920, except 32nm and 6 cores. Can't say the same about your shitty Q6600 or the even shittier Athlon 64.

Stupid fucking zoomer. Shut the fuck up.

Who the fuck would want to program for fucking netburst?

Is the core 2 quad suseptible to the intel exploits?

Meltdown and Spectre affect Intel CPUs going back to the Pentium III.
