i think it was from the local courthouse.
new computers so they threw out the old ones? maybe he ganked em and no one cared?

anyway it has 2 card ports so im eventually gonna turn it into a frankenstein desktop. parts should be cheap enough.

If you have a computer with powerful hardware, you need to get the fuck out of /g/

Only people who don't know how to use technology to its fullest fall back on powerful and expensive hardware. Either that or they are gamer faggots. In any case, neither is technology-related

That's why discussion of graphics cards should be banned on this board tbqh. It's pure >>>/v/

I'm typing this on a Thinkpad T60p. But I'm never upgrading because no new laptop has a UXGA IPS screen or comes close to the quality. I have no use for a super fast machine, as long as Emacs works I'm happy.

I have a Q9300, HD7770 and only 4GB of 1066mhz ram but I can still be gaymer and play stuff like Overman and Metal Snake 5.

Probably bait, but GPUs aren't just for games. And they are, in fact, technology.

Not sure why I'm even surprised when my t60p works fine for anything I want to do with it, albeit a bit hot.

You should upgrade your GPU.
And get an SSD.
It'll make your computer last another 5 years

Seems like anything pre-2010 is under-rated and usually more durable.And cheap,part of under-rated tech.

Previous card was 4850, it lived long as hell with a bios mod.

I use it to play FO4 at max with med shadows and shitton of mods. Other than that it has fedora24 for everything else.

Feels great to have old shit that still works.

Muh nigga. I just overclocked the piss out of mine and got a 970 when my 8800 wasn't doing it anymore.

Don't really play games so haven't had any real reason to buy a new PC.

Good thing you're not a mod and can't impose your will of what you think constitutes technology then, huh?

>>
>>55631602
Honestly I just don't see any compelling reason to upgrade, it's still such a good processor.

I'm buying a new power supply before anything else, then I might get a good cooler and overclock a bit. How are you cooling your CPU now?
>>
>>55631717
Check how your motherboard handles Xeons. A handful of the X58s take X5650s really well. Add two cores, four threads, overclock just as well, and run cooler. Cost under $100 on eBay.

>How are you cooling your CPU now?
Nothing special. Cooler Master Hyper 212X. 200mhz FSB is the limit of the board so there was no real reason to get anything better.

It's a bit suffering when using a lot of programs at the same time, but overall it just werks. Also I have other big expenses right now and i can't afford a new one, and PC laptops are out of the question unless Microsoft fixes the shitty windows 10.

Want to put a cooler running Xeon x5650 in it though

I'm running a p6x58de.

Asus doesn't say my board supports Xeons, but apparently some people on OC.net are running just fine.

I hope it works, otherwise I'll just upgrade to Zen

Dual p4 xeons here with 4 gigs ddr.

Other is c2d with 4 gigs ddr2.

Both play movies and run the software I need them to (I don't play games)

I'm on a Dell Optiplex 755 with an old Q8400 and 8GB DDR2. A pretty solid machine, plays most popular games well. I'll choose this 8yr old beast over a console any day. Had a pretty sad story, found it abandoned with an old Celeron in it. Felt sorry for it and took it home.

I actually built a rig that had a Q8300, 8GB of DDR2 and a 7870. The processor was a bottleneck in Battlefield 4 64P conquest, but otherwise it was perfectly fine for everything. Games that weren't as CPU heavy would do much better on that rig.

I eventually sold it to the guy who bought me the motherboard in 2007 or something. Granted, everything else around it had changed.

Get on my level

This is the best hardware that can be put on this motherboard. Pic related was taken on my Internet-disabled xp install, I use Lubuntu as my daily driver and it works surprisingly well. Being able to use the GPU for hardware-accelerated video playback and browser rendering is pretty much the only reason it's still usable, though.

>>55631365
You're probably the closest to my setup. Also still on AGP, I presume?

>>55636354
Your motherboard supports 4 GB of RAM?
>>
>>55628732
Totally dude. 550ti, Athlon ii x645 and a generic OEM micro ATX & 8Gigs of memory. Fallout 4 and shadows of mordor are definitely playable.
>>
>>55628880
Cars and guns are technology too.
