Re: AMD is cool again
I have a 8 year old Dell box which is still capable for daily office tasks without the CPU cores ever getting maxed out.
It's not the CPU that's the bottleneck in my 8 year old Dell box, it's the memory and spinning rust. The HDD I could fix (1 TB SSDs are just over £100 from Crucial), but the memory is almost maxed out (6GB of a maximum 8), so it would be a sticking plaster at best; and thanks to our IT set-up it's just simpler to fix it with a new one.
