Why are Core 2 processors so comfy? Nothing feels as good as

>>60150103
Poor people develop an emotional attachment to their electronics in order to numb the reality of them being outdated and obsolete.

My parents have my Q8400 PC. It is indeed comfy. They never use it though.

I remember a time when AMD felt better than Intel (especially Pentium 4) because of the latter's front-side bus limitations. It just felt more fluid.

Poor people fall into the bottomless pit that is consumerism in order to numb the reality of their life being shitty and so that they can chase the next shiny gadget and have something to live for.

Must suck to be you.

I hate this retarded "comfy" shit.

>>60150351
You don't have feelings or emotions?

I wish I were you.

It's only comfy because you're poor and they're very cheap. If you weren't poor, you wouldn't be saying shit like this.

I have an i5 T420 that i spent $140 on.

That is comfy.

Higher-end C2Qs (or equivalent chink Xeons) will run modern games at a playable framerate, and you won't even have to drop to lowest settings.

This. I've used my Phenom 9600 / 2 GB / HD2400 rig until 2013. You cannot imagine the feeling when I finally got a new computer.

I later upgraded it but it has gotten too shitty and outdated. This is the end of my glorious shitbox, I'm getting a H61 system for my bedroom this week.

A friend just gifted me an old PC with a XFX nForce 680i lt with a E8400.

Is it good? Or should I get. Better CPU? I mean, a Q9400 it's only 15$.

Sure? That XFX MOBO is LGA 755 and those are 751.

I as cleaning out my grandmas garage and found an old inspirion 530, it has a shitty motherboard that only supports 65w cpu. how about an e8400, and an old hd7750(already have it). Will it run off a chinkshit 300w psu?

It mentions the book "the millionaire next door" which really is great. It states that basically a lawyer making $200k per year with $600k in savings can, depending on his lifestyle, be poorer than a mailman making $40k with $200k savings. Because if the lawyer loses his job his lifestyle (and an expensive divorce from his wife) will basically bankrupt him within two years.

I have a core 2 quad. The piece of shit can't even play 1080p60fps videos on YouTube.

>>60156688
But at least you can turn the heating off while you try.

I have a core2quad with GT120 GPU on some old PC. It can play C&C generals at medium lol

Shitty software. My p8800 (2.66Ghz mobile dual core) can do 1080p60 (just barely) in pretty much any video player other than a browser.

>>60156755
wat
I have a Q9450 based server with 3 hard drives that idles at ~30w and can't break 100 at full CPU load.

It is undervolted a little (board and heatsink designed for dual-core only, required to keep resonable temperatures), but it can't be that big a difference.

C2Q is just fine for shitposting, my dad has one. Needs a modern graphics card though. I found a GT720 2Gb GDDR5 for 20 europoors at the local shitbox emporium and it's perfect.

I'm on a Core 2 Duo E8200. How much of a performance gain will I get if I switch to a newer processor? Mind you, I'm using DDR2 and SATA II.

>>60159902
Any new processor is a huge upgrade

>>60150103
My old E6600 machine is still rattling along nicely at my parent's place and still handles their normie MS Office and browsing needs without breaking a sweat. Not bad for something that was built a decade ago. Putting together a new build in the next week or so which means they'll inherit my current 2500K system.

Wat do wiv c2d?

I do too. My old E8400 felt way snappier.
My main desktop has a G3258 in it right now, which feels way less snappy than the E8400. of course it's better for video games but other than that it just feels more, idk, sloppy, crufty.

I too enjoy 65w TDP and J2900esque performance.
Don't even need to mention the ancient platform that supports nothing. Truly mustard race.

the heat. the shitty ram(speed, let alone getting 2gb sticks).

Other than that Core2Quads were fucking great. And Core2Duos awesome for just low power machines.

Overclocking the pentium e5200 from 2.5ghz up to 3.75ghz with shitty board/ram was ultimate budget. Before intel got greedy and started locking overclocking.

I was leery upgrading from a Q8400 to modern. But even with a cheap i3+16gb ram the jump was pretty nuts.

>>60150103
Core 2's are a bit dated... This is where it's at:

Throw in a GTX 1060 6gb and you have yourself a beast multi-use rig for $600.

By multi-use I meant general use as in you can consume and produce media without anything holding you back.

i want to make the jump to a 2500k or similar or better Xeon with PCIe 3.0 but I don't wanna spend that kinda money on a mobo right now, especially with bills and whatnot. Computer serves me just fine

What is good about core 2? They run hotter and perform worse than newer Intel chips, but they still aren't old enough to have the management engine botnet removed.

This. 2 GB DDR2 sticks are expensive as fuck. They wanted 40 € for 4x2 GB so I decided to scrap this station and get a H61 instead. 8 GB DDR3 for 10 €...

>>60167172
Modern Celerons and Pentiums are powerful as fuck. They seem shitty but have similar performance on the lowest TDPs imagineable.

>>60167172
Actually the Celeron G530 (Sandy Bridge) performs the same as the Core 2 Duo 8600, though the C2D overclocks a little better.

I've seen what you say though. People put the C2D and C2Q on a pedestal because they refuse to upgrade, but any modern Celeron or Pentium shits on any of them. The IPC has improved way too much from those years.

>>60159902
Define "newer processor". Eg. a Celeron N3050 is newer but likely noticeably slower.

>>60166431
>old chips run hotter and perform worse than newer chips
No shit, Sherlock.

People like S775 because it's the cheapest platform still capable of running modern software.
