AMD REKD.

Dual core masterrace

This literally happened to me, except it was more like a $200 AMD. I ended up bulding a Conroe rig a year later that lasted me until 2014.

I think you're another paid shill, though, so fuck off.

Pretty confused because that's not going to do jack shit in my PowerMac G5 quad.

in 2006 i was using my 3 year old computer with a p4 @ 2.60ghz

Trips of truth

yeah, they just sprung up with a few shitty meme threads that are nonsensical. It's like operating hours started in some sort of slave labor farm. Where multi billion dollar company's pay people to run damage control without disclosing their affiliation.

OP, I'm fairly sure you can collect the excrement form cows for human consumption and have more rupees in your pocket.

Pretty good considering I didn't have my own computer in 2006 and had to spend time in the school library afterhours to do anything.

Incredible it was indeed.

In 2006 I was using a Pentium 3 machine

Only in 2007 I upgraded it to an Athlon x2 4000. This machine also lasted for 7 years

If I keep this performance, I'll use my 3570K till 2020

>>59081820
how much of that 22.5 lbs was the monitor

>>59079416

I remember i had a Pentium IV HT 2.26 ghz with 768mb of ram.

I upgraded that to an Athlon 5200+ because the upgrade was pennies really.

The motherboard was a BIOSTAR that i knew was a shitty company, but boy was it so much cash. I then upgraded to a 720BE with a bios flash.

I had a second pc with an Pentium D E2160 that overclocked like a motherfucker, i had it with a 90% overclock, stock frecuency was 1.8Ghz but it clocked 3.2-3.4 like it was nothing.
