PC hardware age (very important poll ;))

[ed_]

Some time ago we talked about who is playing on the computer.
It turns out that many have quite old hardware like me ...
I am eager to find out how it is for most of you?

 

You can select several answers if you own several computers that you play in ET.

 

 

[meow]

so my CPU, MOBO and RAM are not even 1 year old.

 

my GPU and SSD are like 3 years old.

 

my Power Supply and my HDDs are 6 years old.

 

I dont know what to answer

[ed_]

Counts age cpu + mobo.

I play with old one, all moved to new months ago but... lagging to get that in use cause this old works nicely

Stuff i collected when i did some work for SGI before they went chapter 7.

 

2   10 year old laptops dell Latitudes. Running Windows 10

1 +10 year old Supermicro 3U (1TB of memory and 32 xenon processor's) Running Red Hat

​couple of SGI's 02, Octanes and Onyx (+ 20 years old) Running Irix

 

1 MSI Desktop  i guess 8 years old running Deb.

1 +10 year old Supermicro 3U (1TB of memory and 32 xenon processor's) 

 

 

I am guessing that it might look like this, with dual cpu motherboards.

I have two laptops that I play on, one is an Acer-cloud book and the other is an HP 15". both are two years old. The best part is I play them hooked up to a 32" Flat Screen. Noting fancy about the laptops just standard Wal-Mart stock. Cheap Cheap Cheap...

got a 7-8 years old HP

[Siwex89]

Most of parts have about 1-2 yo only RAM is older

Well youre not far off, only in stead off swappable drives it has 8 swappable blades. each containing 4 processor's and 128 GB of memory.

Rackable and Supermicro named it a superserver 10 / 15 years ago.

 

Nowadays, I think if you cluster 10 Sony play-stations you get way better performance. 

 

Some collect old comic books , I collect old computers and make them operate.

Btw. I ran ET on almost all my sytems except the O2.

BSD can handle most old SGI stuff, and then you have a well build very beautiful computer.

I think i have the worse PC here win 7 and only 3gb ram and some nub integrated graphic card

[Aniky]

Build mine around 3 years ago, only thing i realized was that apparently 8GB of ram is nowhere near enough for the casual gaming of newish games, so gonna order prolly next month another 8GB.

Try changing the memory clock to 800 MHz (1600 MHz) in the BIOS.
