I am still using a Pentium 4 2.6Ghz, bought new in 2003.
This old P4 exceeds my needs. It runs my office productivity software quite fast, and I watch the odd DVD on it. I also use it for computer programming, and some Photoshop and it works well. I'll probably use it until 2014, when Microsoft stops providing updates for Windows XP. By then, it will be 11 years old.
Two weeks ago, I nearly caved in and upgraded to a Quad-core, but commense sense has one again prevailed. Just can't justify it.
Anyone here have a hex or oct-core?
