Seems like you got some slow machine bro ;-)

Indeed. It's a 7 year old Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600 running at 2.4GHz; but its more than adequate for development.

    Old gear is good gear. Nice that it's still working.

      Nice that it's still working.

      I bought it dirt cheap as a manufacturer's refurb.

      A couple of years ago one of the original 2GB dimms died, so I replaced the motherboard (but kept the original processor) so I could fit 2 4GB dimms.

      And about a month ago I replaced the power supply because it was getting flaky.

      And I've just ordered another HDD and an SSD; so all that's left of the original machine is the case, dvd and cpu. But yeah! Still works :)
