My computer still runs most thing quite well, but it's getting on now. It was top of the line in 2012, but not so much more anymore, but for Cubase it runs pretty alright.

It was top of the line in 2012 i was stand with my old SGI octane 2 (dual Mips R14k 600Mhz 16Mb L2, 8Go ram) like hackab onto his boat, until i cannot use decent firefox release version... i think "old" computer can do it job a long time before be obsolet. i have done something weird for a nerd like me, i have chat on Ircnet in 2013 with an old Silicon graphics from 1986, an Iris 4D 20/TG turbo, under Irix 3.3, News window manager (was before X11, a mix of postscript and Irisgl (father od OpenGL)). i have use Andromeda irc client source and do the port and compilation onto this venerable UniX box, i run fine onto the Mips R3000 12.5Mhz, 24Mb ram system (with 3D hardware, 4 geometry engine good for 80Mflops ) so i think your computer is still good enought !

I bet there wasn't something very wrong with your old computer either, probably just a power supply failure. I envy you on the specs I have recently upgraded my 2011 iMacs RAM from 4 GB to 12 GB and man, that a difference. I did it because the computer was becoming unusable it terms of getting stuck all the time, loading to slowly even for basic tasks etc. Upgrading RAM on mac (and any other computer) is easy and it can make a huge difference.

I'm envious! i'll connat upgrade as i like when i'll want, or i must put money under my bed, cause DDR4 ECC modules are very expensive !!!! the cas e of memory is very interressant, cause lot of people think computer speed is relative to CPU frequency, true and false, but a very important thing is the memory amount !!!!! i had upgrade an old DELL with a pentium 2 450 some year ago, i have keep this computer for my friend's childs, i have put a win XP SP2, and two 512Mb sdram simm, a total of 1gb for an old PII, a bit overclock to 500 Mhz , and it was runing fine !!! very surprising !!

Laurent I have an old laptop as well, which is running most things okay as well, but it needs to be formatted badly, I think. Or I could just start cleaning it up, but I think I'd rather take the fast formatting approach and install everything again from scratch You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
