I have 3 gaming rigs. Every 7 years I rebuild all new ones... but will upgrade video cards often.
Oddly, I find that later versions of Photoshop Elements, particularly the "Organizer" section is a resource hog. The issue is the speed it will, (or won't), generate tags and thumbnails. I'm using PSE-7, and have finally gotten hardware that doesn't require you to go watch a TV episode while a 100 image import registers.Heck, just about any new version of Photoshop, requires me to update.
Now that porn is 1080p, you simply can't have too much storage....(said cranky somewhat sheepishly)....[ ]...The only upgrades I made are more HDDs,...[ ].....
build a streaming box and use it for network storage. That or give it to a relative who needs a new computer. I still have every video card I've ever owned. Don't have the heart to throw them out or give it away :/What do you guys do with your old hardware?
and how is that A6 notebook going on? AMD mobile chips are starting to look nice for me, maybe I will aquire an AMD based notebook by EOY.Desktop 4 yr old E8400 - getting dusty
Notebook 3 months old AMD A6 - cheap cos it's not the latest OS - it's Win7 ! V happy with that...
Netbook 2 years old - used to play music at home and for travel.
No tablet
Dumb-smart-phone - Nokia N8.
This is more than I need and I'll wait until Win9 before I consider a replacement for the netbook. I doubt I'll ever buy a desktop again and I don't like carrying a tablet w/o a keyboard so I won't get one of them either.
