This machine is an older quad core 2.6 on vista (grumble). Good gfx card and 3gb ram. Do I bother upgrading the OS or just say screw it and search a new machine with a modern win license that comes with it. Guess I could just make this a linux box then.
I intend to game and produce music on it. I don't want to invade my wife's new machine, that's not fair.
@dataKnightmare Oh it still runs great. Just really limited running anything modern on it as everything wants win7 or better, even though it has the horsepower. I haven't run anything linux in a long, long time. Only reason I would is to work on a demo with my buddy.
I just want to be able to run newer music and gaming software. Win is where I'd like to for that :(
@Troll hm. pretty much forced choice.😪
Sad thing is, this is a triple SLI board and supports tons of ram and anything, and I gimped it to 32 bit vista because of a game I played at the time... grr
@Troll my box has the same specs. ditched win years ago, it still runs beautifully and when I need crunching power it never lets me down.
