Why aren't you using a decade old dual core?

But I am using

Dude only a decade?
15 jear old Athlon XP

Because I'm using a 7 year old core2quad

I believe the E6600 pretty performed the same as the slightly newer quadcore Q6600.

Games at the time weren't optimized with a quadcore in mind.
>>
Cuz I'm using more than a decade old single core celeron
>>
Because shitty integrated 2015 manufactured hp laptop

But I am. Soon to be replaced by a Xeon though
>>
Using an old intel quad core, why spend money on a new cpu when literally any quad is good?
>>
I'm using a q6600 from 2008. Just waiting for my skylake shit to be posted today... ill be running a i5-6600k for a few years to come

The E6600 was a great CPU.

Why aren't you using a first generation DX11 card?
>>
>>52014072
trying to run Windows or any modern bloated software on a processor like that is like torturing yourself, but I was surprised how well an Athlon XP-M 2000+ ran Fedora 23 with LXDE.

back in 2007 I was using an Athlon XP on a WinXP machine, and it felt fast. even Firefox worked great. alas, how times have changed, since now even an overclocked Intel hexa-core and SSD isn't enough to run Fireshit smoothly.

I used to use some dusty old desktop with an Athalon XP as a server long ago. That thing was solid for it being as old as it was. Eventually the USB ports fried and the hard drive died. RIP
