Post Your Computer Specs

seems like computer technology has slowed down significantly. if you bought a mid level computer 2 years ago, it's still very much serviceable today.

Slowed down? Not really. Try using that computer on a UHD monitor.

certain sectors have. CPUs are improving, but not nearly at the same rate they were say.. 10 years ago. it's getting closer and closer to the plateau. RAM has been getting cheaper, but DDR3's been around for a while. SSDs are the new thiing, but imo not quite worth it yet. top of the line video cards from 3 years ago are still usable today. i remember buying a geforce 1 in 2000 and it didn't last me very long.

I bought my card 2 years ago and with this resolution it is pretty much useless (I've bought a new one recently). The plateau on silicon yes. Wait for graphene or something similar. DDR4 coming, 14nm CPUs coming too.

CPU are still improving as fast as they did 10 years ago, there are some issues with smaller fab process, some delays to move to 20nm and 14nm but all solved now but the same time right now the best improvement are made in the architectural aspect, and efficiency rather than just only relaying on downsizing and cramming more transistors on a small silicon chip

I believe hardware advancement has not slowed down, but the public's demand for powerful PCs has dropped. An average user may only need to check email, browse webs, type letters and print photos. A 2 years' old mid tier machine could handle those tasks with ease.

There is no real need to upgrade their PCs, but at the same time, they are more willing to buy an expensive smartphone which costs as much, if not more.

i have a lenovo u310. it's too big for my taste, considering it is a 13.3" that is the size of a 14.1" .. but it's a decent laptop.

I find it funny because someone might actually buy it for the nostalgia XD

it's a collector's item now - probably sells for thousands. people buy a lot of overpriced shit just for the sake of it, doesn't surprise me at all. it's like someone buying a van gogh painting for 1 million.

Just bought a new Desktop Computer:

- Asus Fatal1ty H87 Mainboard
- Intel i7 4770K
- 32 GB Ram (Patriot Viper Kit)
- 500 GB (Samsung 840 Evo)
- ASUS Blueray Burner
- Noctua Fans all around + Fan Controller
- 2x R290X
- 29 Inch DELL Superwidescreen

Nice, you've compied some components from the internet.
Yes, Asus is the manufacturer of that motherboard.

high rollers man! all that stuff is just extraneous for me. even if i were rich, i wouldn't drop $1.5k on a desktop (that's my estimation at least).

Why wouldn't you?
Maybe we actually need a high-end machine.

My desktop:

- Intel Core-i7 2600K
- Intel Motherboard
- 8GB Transcend RAM
- Sapphire HD7950
- WD 500GB HDD

Actually, I just searched for it on eBay and it seems it's being sold at very cheap prices.

Xa nice. Good all days, with AMIGA n COMMODORE.

I found in my dads basement old PC.

have 2 kb ram
VGA seem like HCG (herculer card with 2 colors)
Flopy 5.25
hdd 10 mb (20 mb with dublespace)

This is heavy more then 40kg in this.

Omg, tis why my system is running little slow, my ram timings are off by a ton.

@ 800 MHz, 11.0-11-11-28

Suppose to be 8-8-8-24. going to set em.

What an improvement already.
