Imagine using a 1988 computer in 1995.

The fuck happened. Seems like the progress slowed down massively.

It was originally built in 2014 for college, but I've upgraded pretty much every part in it except for the motherboard and case this past year.

I wonder what the average lifetime of a motherboard is.
Upgraded mine lots of times but at some point I wonder when I should rather change the mainboard instead of buying parts for the old one.

It's old. The CPU is a core 2 duo @ 2.4ghz and 4gb ram with a gt 740

I'm livin the dream.

>>56307335
First build in 1995.

Kept it up to date with regular upgrades.

8 years old with a 6 month old SSD

Works fine. It'll be better whenever I dump my old 750ti for something newer

from 2012. just got around to oc'ing my 3570k. shoulda bought a better motherboard. can only do 4.2ghz before stability issues come up and voltage jumps for smaller and smaller gains. i'm not a very good oc'er though.

will get a 1070 next spring. should be good for another 4-5 years.

>>56307712
>a generation PC

my tower case is a 1998 fujitsu so in a sense mine went through like 5 generations of insides up to now while looking the same on the outside

Lynnfield i5-750 @ 4ghz since 2010. Added an SSD a few years ago.

>>56307335
Owner of multiple systems, current system I'm using rn was built earlier this year from used parts. Most of the parts are from mid-late 2013, SSD's a bit older though. Not enough power for my needs so I'll be probably parting this off for a Xeon workstation build in the future.

Mid 2000s? AMD 9590, Asus crosshair v, AMD 290. That Motherboard is the oldest component... Amd really need to get zen out.

>>56307335
2013 Vintage.
Xeon e5-1620v2 and 32GB Memory.
R9-390x (which is effectively a 8GB 290x which is 2013 vintage).

Processor and memory are grand, my next upgrade is a GPU. and a fancy NVMe drive.

Motherboard 2007
CPU 2010 (?)
RAM 2010
Case 2012
SSDs 2015

>>56307335
X58 architecture.

Had 2 gtx 570 but they died (one 2 years after the other) so the newest thing I have in this computer is a shitty gtx 960.

Rest is intact.

>>56307335
My current shitbook laptop I just bought last week, my desktop is a Thinkstation from 2011. Being a retrotard I have a bunch of other shit going back to ~1978 though, got an SGI WinNT workstation from mid-1999 running in my bedroom as a shitposting/photoshopping/space heater box.

>>56307495
Software bloat didn't advance with it, new shit may have a lot of more advanced features but they still spend most of their time doing the same fundamental tasks they were doing in 1995, and hardware is just so damn fast now that it really doesn't matter what the fuck you throw at it as long as the data sets are small.

>>56307906
What mobo, anon? Thinking of building a dual socket Xeon system in this next year and am curious.

2012 ThinkPad X220 with an i7-2640M, 16GB RAM, and IPS panel.

>>56308173
Ah, nice
I'm aiming at a Z800 workstation for dual Xeons, little more expensive but I want to be able to play all my games within VMs using a dedicated GPU for said VM

>>56308255
That's not mediocre by any stretch

The oldest parts it has are the CPU, mobo and one of the hard drives from 2011, 2600k and an asus p8p67 evo, with my 1.5TB hdd.

>>56307335
2009 for both my desktop and main laptop. Have replaced the GPU and HDD once in my desktop and added an SSD, also upgraded the SSD in my laptop.

>>56307495
It depends on what you're doing with it. I haven't bought any newer AAA games past 2012 and my desktop can't play any newer AAA games.

maybe not the best idea, even with a healthy oc on it, the 3570k is cutting it close in terms of bottleneck potential

i tried getting up to 4.4-4.5 but i kept getting BSODs. figure the 1070 will carryover to my next tower if i need to upgrade CPUs.

>i7 3770k @4,5Ghz, GTX 680 and 16GB RAM
>all bought in 2012
It still doesn't feel remotely old

>>56307335
Bought in 2010:
- i7 860 @ 2.80 GHz
- 4 GB RAM
- HD5770 graphics

Some years later I upgraded graphics to GTX 660, added another 4 GB of RAM, and added 2 SSDs.
I can still play AAA games on medium~low settings so I still probably wont replace my computer for a while.

This one was built last year and I expect it to last for a while. The one before was from 2009 and it was certainly starting to show its age, it ran everything I wanted to but everything was just a little slow and crappy, but it's impressive how long it held up.

>>56308370
research the purchase thoroughly, ensure that the machine has the PCI-E Power connectors you need to power the GPU you want.

my z620 has 2x 6pins though one can run as an 8 pin without issue.

>>56307335
2500K with 8 GB RAM and an AMD R9 280 going strong.
I won't upgrade unless something breaks.

>>56307335

My main windows rig is from 2012 but my daily driver laptop is a Mid 2015 15" rMBP base model which I use for mostly python and IDL development.

i7-2600k purchased in 2011.

Just bought a GTX 1070, should get a couple more years out of this rig.

A few years, has some newer stuff too, mainly ssds and graphics.

Werks for me.

The only thing I have upgraded since 2010 is the Gpu, from a 560ti to 2 7970's.
I have also added a few SSD's but that's it.

3570k starting to feel the age. Upgrading to a 6600k next week.

Got a new macbook pro that I use as my main computer hooked up to my screen. The PC is mostly used for torrents and as a Plex server. I sometimes play indie or older games (< 2013) on it which it still handles fine.

>>56309651
This is basically what I still have.

Got 6 GB RAM for it from the get go and have since stuck an SSD in there but no newer gfx card.

I guess the combination of the i7 being really powerful and processor improvements plateauing made them last for a long time.

I have a new macbook pro as my main machine and mostly use the PC as a torrent station/plex server now though, and if I ever make it a dedicated home server I'm sure it'll be great for that.

Still going strong on X58, upgraded cpu to X x5670 from i7-950, ram to 24gb and gpu to a R390. Mostly doing editing and compositing alongside with sim racing, not a single hiccup.

Honestly perfectly content with it, haven't even really felt the need to upgrade the 7200 RPM hard disk.

I did briefly own a modest desktop with an i3-2130 in first and second year university, but I sold it after quitting video games. In everyday tasks it felt no faster than the T500.

RAM died a year or so ago, replaced with 16GB of G.Skill something or other. Replaced 560ti with a 980 in Sept 2014. Added 512GB 850 Pro and a 2TB HDD around a year ago.

Everything else is the same, plan on building new machine early next year.

An A1224 iMac, bought new in December 2007. 3 GB RAM, 2.4 GHz, Radeon HD 2600. Never skipped a beat, except for two occasions where I unwisely installed Mountain Lion and Yosemite. Both times I reverted back to Snow Leopard, which is basically the last good version of OS X anyways.

I also have a T400 which is slightly newer, but I only use it when I travel, so I don't consider it my "main" machine.

woot

My main machine is an Elitebook 8560p from 2012.
It has pretty good hardware, 8GB of ram and an i7-2640M, so I never really notice it's dated. I never thought of it as dated until people started pointing out that it was thick and heavy. Which it is.
It also has a DB9 serial port and even an RJ11 connection for a phone modem (which unfortunately only works with windows).
I replaced the optical drive with a second hard drive and replaced my main hard drive with an SSD, so I'd say it's keeping up pretty well and if it holds up mechanically, I can get another couple of years out of it.
I actually use that serial port.

Modern but weak. A 280x, fx 8320, and 8gb of ram.

Reason for the fuck ton of ram was that I run many VMs. The GPU was because back then I used to be into 3D animation, but I don't have enough time for it anymore so I dropped it. I can still run every game that comes out maxed whenever I feel like playing a game. This will remain a trend for a while I image, as hardware manufacturers are focusing more on energy efficiency then massive gains.

U purchased it 9 years ago, it was high end back then and expensive as fuck.
It rocked a 2.4GHZ intel quad, 8 gigs of ddr2 ram and a high end gpu, back then it was the shit, nobody even had quad cores, everyone had only shitty dual coars
9 years later, and it is still going strong and since i don't play games anymore (i don¨t have the time since in my freetime i dev games in unity instead) there is no need to throw out money for a new machine
the only upgrades i did over the time were several 2TB HDDs, one 120GB SSD and a new graphics card HD5850 (back when it came out)
It's amazing that i can still play new games nowadays decently on a machine that is almost a decade old

Got an 8600gt banging around in there. Just upgraded the Q8200 to an i5 4690k and traded the DDR2 for 16gb of 3.
Just need a new GPU and it's on for the next few years. My shit is always outdated but it works for me.

16 GB is not a meme. I have 8 GB and I can exhaust it from time to time with tasks from the following
- Browser with multiple Google Maps tabs
- Android emulation
- Multiple jd-gui windows
- yaourt extracting after compacting large packages from AUR
- Extracting thumbnails using ffmpeg
(not with one single task on my system tho)

2011:
i3-540
6 GB DDR3 RAM (4GB laptop RAM and 2GB desktop)
512GB SSD
PicoPSU clone that delivers150w peak
GTX 750ti
Shitty Intel mobo

My rig is a bit hard to pin down as it's been upgraded twice and built partly out of second hand parts:
>Second hand i7 950
>Second hand GTX 670
>12GB of DDR3 at 1600 MHz
>256GB Curcial MX100 SSD
Built it in January 2015 as I wanted a rig that I could use for working on my master's thesis on GPGPUs at home as my 2011 MBP didn't quite cut the mustard for that.

Upgrades I've made since I built it:
>240GB M.2 connected Kingston HyperX Predator on a PCIe adapter board (spring/summer 2015)
>GTX 970 (autumn 2015)

Upgrades I plan on doing to it:
>Put it in a better case as the Bitfenix Neos it's in right now has such shit airflow I had to cut out the 3,5" HDD enclosure out with a pair of tin snips to allow at least halfway decent front-to-back airflow
>Zen CPU+motherboard once they become available, will probably coincide with the case replacement

the whole thing is from 2005, apparently.
i reckon some of the parts in it are newer than that, but the HDD is definitely that old. 40GB with xp pre installed
finally got off my ass and built a new one, which should be interesting

The oldest component is the case and one of my older hard drives which I use as a temporary “scratchpad” drive only. (No important data storage)

Everything else has seen a complete cycle within the past 2 years or so, finally being completed by my hard drive replacement which literally happened today.
