Heh, I did something similar for my dad. He went from 2x core2quad 24gb DDR2 to a 12th Gen i5 with 32gb ddr5. Something like triple the compute power, at under $500 when he paid ~$5k for the original
I have only used it for doomscrolling and watching videos so far. I spend at least 12 hours on it, Im disabled and live in the third world so I dont have a lot going on in my life lol.

i just upgraded from a core2duo with 2gb ddr2 to a 7th gen i3 with 8 gb ddr4 and for the first time in my life an actual gpu (nvidia k620).

That’s crazy! If you don’t mind me asking what do you typically do on your machine and how much time do you spend on it?
I’m just curious because I spend a lot of time on my PC and can only imagine how horrible all the stuff I do would be on that hardware lol

I gotcha, thanks for sharing. It’s cool hearing from people who are so far away!
