          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.

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

      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?

        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.

    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.

        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

        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

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

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

        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

          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!

      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.

    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.

      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”.

      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.

      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.

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

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