RE: How Much Does A Computer Cost?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
dual cores are dead even with hyperthreading and quad cores currently dying.
even with a cheap build I will never buy a single stick of ram and always use dual channel even if it's 2gbx2=4gb.
I will also always buy a brand new HDD due to spindle quality derioration and would promptly replace it after just three years or less if it's a master drive.
personally If I have to go cheap I'd get second-hand cpu, gpu, psu, and motherboard.
and always get brand new hdd/ssd, and rams.

Not really bro. Maybe if you are into gaming yes dual cores and quad cores are dying. But if you are only using the computer for office use dual cores are still A okay in my opinion. I even have a dual core laptop here rated at 1.9Ghz and it's doing fine browsing and watching youtube.
My Athlon 200GE computers are still holding on their own. But the ryzen 3 are the best ones here. Just like what I said in my post don't expect a cheap computer to run a high end software/programs. Also not everyone can afford a gaming computer especially during these times where computer parts prices are over inflated thanks to COVID19. So honestly dual cores still makes sense even now where core count means everything. Honestly the average joe doesn't care about such stuff. They just want their computers to run in the use cases they wanted it to be.
I didn't know this, thanks for sharing. But I have a master drive here that is still alive just like my power supply, it's over 6 years old and never got a problem with it. I researched that Hard Disk Drives could last up to 20 years, although I can't say for sure how much of it is true, I will try to use this drive until the day it dies and I'll see for myself how long a drive can really last.
They do!. They last for a very long time you are lucky with the silicon lottery.
This is interesting... I never had an HDD internal or external last more than 10 years.
My SDD is brand new they say it will last longer.
if any of co-workers ask me for a comp I will go with @pinkhub... most actually almost none of my co-workers play AAA games and if there is a gamer here onboard they would be on full Alienware, MSI or other gaming brands, just buying the stuff without regard for the specs.
SSD's life span depends on its TBW or Total Bytes Written so if you don't use the SSD as a main drive then it will probably last for years as well. But since SSD's cost much higher than your average hard drives I will still recommend hard drives for low budget computer builds. But for people who can really afford it, I will recommend SSD's
Well that's their hard earned money so they are pretty much entitled on how they would spend it but for me buying a full on computer set is just a waste of money. They are pretty much paying so much premium for brands and such. Then again just like what I said it's their hard earned money and if they want to burn in into dust then that's their choice.
Ghad, my Nitro came in with an SSD as a main drive the OEM id imbedded 🤣.
Don't worry too much about people here, it's more about showing off than being practical.
