>If you use Chrome as a primary browser, you'll know that it can be a resource hog that eats up too much battery. The browser's latest version was designed to solve that issue by throttling background tabs using excessive power. According to the Chromium blog, background tabs are responsible for one-third of Chrome's power usage on computers, so keeping them in check will minimize the browser's impact.

>Chrome's Page visibility API checks tabs after 10 seconds in the background. The new feature will leave tabs playing audio or maintaining WebSockets or WebRTC connections alone, since the API considers them to be in the foreground. However, it minimizes all the tabs the API considers to be in the background unless it's absolutely necessary to run them at full capacity.

>The Chrome team says this new mechanism can lead to 25 percent fewer busy background tabs. Since their goal is fully suspend those tabs, though, their work is far from done. Chrome 57 has been out for a few days now. You can download it anytime, especially if you're always on the go and would like to limit Chrome's impact on your laptop.

So my computer died on me early this year...

GPU got fried and now I'm left with an ancient relic from 2009. A pre-built ancient relic from 2009.

It was at this point that I decided to build a computer for the first time, learning what parts to look for, what's "hip" on the market nowadays, etc.

However, I didn't want to simply throw this one away, as I've seen people on Youtube take old computers and then revive them to fit in with the current year.

The only problem is, I simply don't know enough to know what parts of my computer are salvageable and which parts I should simply replace. It's even harder because, being the fact this computer is so old, there's hardly any websites that suggest what's upgrade-able and what's not.

Here's what its got:

>HP Pavilion Elite e9120y
>CPU: 2.6GHz AMD Phenom II X4 910
>Memory: 8GB 1,066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
>Graphics: 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 (R.I.P.)
>Hard drives: 1TB 7,200rpm
>Networking: 10/100 Ethernet; 802.11 b/g/n/ wireless
>Optical drive: Blu-ray drive; dual-layer DVD burner
>Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (64-bit)

So is it worth saving, or should I just scrap it and start from scratch? Thank you ahead of time for taking the time to read this. And sorry for the long post, I have problems with quantity and tend to overwrite a lot.

>Why the fuck are you posting here and not on sites like Reddit?
Because I'll take being called a "faggot" here any day over dealing with the hot, political mess that Reddit's going through at the moment.
