Is a 2001 computer too old?

[Captain Xarzu 0]

I have a 2001 Pentium Sony VAIO.

It has 512 Megs of memory.

Is it too ancient to do anything worth while with?

If so, I think that is sad.

It depends on what you want to use it for.

 

If you want to use new applications and play new games, then your machine won't cut it. So an upgrade is in order.

 

Computers generally last about a year or two, after that they start to struggle with the newer apps and games. So then you either upgrade or you overclock, but eventually your have to upgrade or just stop using all the pretty new things.

 

Thats jsut how it is.

Agree.

 

My gaming laptop costed me 20.000 kroners. last year.

Now I can buy a better one for 9.000

And this crap happens too often i think..

Same with iPods and MP3-players.

Even flatscreen prices does heavy price drops each year!

I have a crap win 98 computer bought new in 99. it plays ra1 ra2 and the original C&C just fine, no lagging. doubt it'll do C&C3 or generals tho.

if you have the money tho, get an upgrade
