The specs are old enough to be one of those eMachines. Didn't they have the "Gamer" ones too with the shit specs and a mid GPU too?

13

eMachines were Gateway’s budget models. They didn’t have any models with video cards. These are actually pretty solid specs for a late 00s laptop, certainly out of eMachine range! At that time, eMachines would have a Pentium or more likely a Celeron and 2GB RAM.

Definitely 2023, they've changed the UI various times since 2017, that looks about the same as it does now

Then I weep for this poor soul. A spinning disk in 2023, that's cruel and unusual punishment.

I just checked: A 128gb ide ssd (industrial!) costs €170, I wouldn't invest that either into a throwaway system. And its the biggest you can get.

You mean a PATA SSD? Core 2 duos came with SATA

3

Doesn't mean your motherboard had it or supported it well. You might be right though for the ddr3 era this mobo is in.

2

Convert to standard then do the whatever with standard equipment.

PCI SATA controller $15

So those specs are like 20 years out of date, and then I checked when was the last time May 4 was on a Thursday, and it was 2023.

Good, it would be concerning if they were a minor

34

The last times May 4 was on a Thursday were 2006, 2017 and 2023. The Core 2 wasn't released until July of 2006 so I'd guess the correct year is 2017, but even then the hardware was already pretty dated. For reference, in 2017 the first generation Ryzen prozessors and Intel Kaby Lake (7th generation Core i) were around.

There are many 775 socket boards that support ddr3 and core 2 duo/quad supported ddr2 and 3.

There are even motherboard that support both ddr2 and ddr3 like this gigabyte g41m combo

Edit: damn at least some core 2 duo's support also ddr1. So core duo supports ddr1, 2 and 3

There are almost no lga 775 boards that have ddr1 support and have core 2 duo as supported cpu. But this ASRock motherboard does support the core 2 duo and ddr1 and ddr2

Shit in all my years never used a ddr3 core 2. I even googled to make sure lol. I am error

What the hell is up with that computer? You got the fastest core 2 duo paired with the slowest DDR3 ram?

I guess they should have cut the processor, or RAM, or the graphics instead?

Dude.... Core 2 duo is ddr1, ddr2 and ddr3 🦄🦄🦄

Edit: just checked out the core 2 duo e8400. Not only does it support ddr3 and 2, but also ddr1. So added ddr1

16

Dang! Didnt know that! I have an old pc with a core 2 quad and since it is ddr2 i assumed all core 2 processors were ddr2. Thank you for correcting me!

1066 MHz = 2132 MT/s, which is fairly average by DDR3 standards

I think they mean 1066MT/s, 2133MT/s is in overclocking territory and iirc the fastest jedec standard is ddr3-1600

8,5 eh? Imma put on my scepticals. You're only an inch shorter than Ron Jeremy's dick? And that dick had a movie made about it.

Edit: a couple movies, if You count the porn.

Hey, 10% is the difference between Michael Phelps and a pretty good swimmer

Or not, I didn't fact check this at all

Definitely overshot the brag with 4.9 inches thick.

guys who have actually big dicks tend to understate them on grindr and stuff. it's easier to undersell it and let them discover in person than it is to tell the truth and have to deal with the "oh really? I doubt it." bullshit every single time where suddenly everyone is a CSI photoshop-detecting photography genius. better to just fly under the radar as average and exceed expectations once they can't argue it's "just the angle".

Is he saying he has a dick like two toilet paper rolls stacked on top of each other?

512GB Seagate HDD 5400 RPM

Sounds like its written by someone that have never owned a Core 2 Duo, as I remember the disk sizes of that time was 500GB, 750GB and 1000GB at 7200 RPM, I think 5400 RPM is slow and mostly used on 2.5" or 5.25" disks.

14

As I remember around 2007, 5400 RPM was frowned upon in builds.

The disks I have from that time is a WD RE2 (very noisy 7200 RPM) and a few WD Green's (I think they are slower than 5400 RPM just to mess with my arguments).

The computer actually came with an SSD, they swapped it because they appreciate the time to think between one operation and the next

6

The latest the CPU could've come out is around the time Barack Obama became a household name, at which point 64GB would've been a really big and expensive SSD. They probably wanted space

lemmy.world

Damn, bro needs to upgrade his build that shit would take ages to boot

14

I giggled a little when I noticed the word "Pro" in that build list.

2

Never forget I bought an Core 2 duo against all advice and I ran Crysis better than core 2 quad beta boys

13

Crysis was single threaded so single core clock speed was the bottleneck. It remained a benchmark for so long mostly because after it's release multicore systems became the norm.

If that's diameter, that dick has similar proportions to the reply chat bubble.

If it's circumference, the diameter is 1.56".

18

It's probably girth which is the length around. You take a string or something, wrap around, then measure the length it took to go around.

I game a lot on that cpu, changed it for an i5 3450 about 10 years ago. Still going strong 💪
