| 1420315 | 2016-05-11 05:55:00 | What can it do that 98% of all modern computers can't do? 1) it can empty your wallet 2) it can lose an alarming $ value after 2 years 3) be grounds for divorce or 1 year of screaming at you regarding spending habits (choose 1 option) 4,5,6) it can make the rest of us gooey with jealousy |

That's what a majority of the **** in HN etc can't do. Or do well. As for 3) I actually managed to get husband to buy me a GPU one year for my birthday. I ran 3DMark and showed him the old one. When he did get the new GPU I showed him again, the difference was enormous. He did recover from the idea of the cost eventually...LOL. 2) Who sells them later anyway, expecting to get their money back? I just used to upgrade mine anyway, change bits every now and then, haven't bought an entire PC since 1998. |

| 1420320 | 2016-05-11 22:49:00 | Unless you incrementally upgrade parts over the years, any pc will have that problem. My pc is about 2 years old. Currently swapping motherboard with existing CPU.....but later I can upgrade the CPU also. Ram is fine as it already have 32gb in it (I run virtual machines), hard drives (about 7) I replace with larger ones as they reach the $200 mark. I don't game on it, so video performance isn't an extra expense for me. |
