A PC`s lifetime
- Thread starter golden rule
- Start date
once again what we are talking about here...$200-300?...computers cost today close to nothing...you can build one for less than $200.
the other day i bought soemthing like this -
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152067
for like $300.. looks like dual core,XP installed. added 1 more GB Ram.. now the thing is probably fast as P4.
dell is selling now desktops for $399 with 19" monitor..why wasting the time on front of old,slow PC which can fell apart any minute? if i can't afford $400 for PC-i would stay away from any type of trading

That's nothing. This sort of setup will really keep your mind on the job:

i can understand that..but..i also bring this netbook example for reason..look at current pc's\laptops.they small, very powerful and way more efficient..smaller size,less heat,less electricity used,more power. i still have old p3 somewhere in closet.. works fine..but even browsing internet on this thing using latest firefox is a pain..
I'll agree to disagree, though I concede there is *some* performance improvement in the new processor architectures. I'd love a new Core 2 Duo, but I don't need the performance for what I do.
The DSP guys in my department *do* need that kind of horsepower, but not lil ole me.
