@woodooprod@c.im for sure. Unless you play loads of games, upgrades aren't needed so often. My laptop is 6 years old. My desktop is over 10 years old (but has had ram, cpu and hdd upgrades)

@woodooprod@c.im In 1990 you might have a 386 at 33MHz. 10 years later you could have had a PIII or Athlon at 1GHz, 30x as fast even excluding arch improvements. In 1990 a 3D accelerator would have come from SGI and cost $50k. By the end of the decade you could by any number of consumer GPUs for $200 or less. The pace of innovation was staggering, as was the rate which things became obsolete (nappy that last part isn't true anymore at least)
