2017-11-14 21:23:56 UTC

2017-11-14 21:25:30 UTC  

brb moving to switzerland

2017-11-14 21:26:04 UTC

Ram is cheap but cost of living is high to offset it <:iosthink:328535776843268105>

2017-11-14 21:26:25 UTC  

Hm

2017-11-14 21:26:32 UTC  

Yep, it'll work fine probably

2017-11-14 21:26:33 UTC  

that's ricardo.ch - a swiss ebay clone

2017-11-14 21:26:41 UTC  

It's meant for servers but it should work?

2017-11-14 21:26:41 UTC  

I checked the manual before, ECC should work

2017-11-14 21:27:02 UTC  

worst case I wasted 24 CHF (roughly 21 Eur)

2017-11-14 21:27:21 UTC  

Best case you have 32GB ram now

2017-11-14 21:27:30 UTC  

yay 3 chrome tabs

2017-11-14 21:28:12 UTC  

That system would be a great server

2017-11-14 21:28:31 UTC  

Especially to replace my shitty old anemic fucking Atom server

2017-11-14 21:29:09 UTC  

I just hope it lasts me 10+ years as a desktop like my previous one

2017-11-14 21:29:26 UTC  

It's already 5y old

2017-11-14 21:29:30 UTC  

computing performance increase is not that steep anymore anyway

2017-11-14 21:29:42 UTC  

when I got my C2Q it was already 2 years old, too

2017-11-14 21:29:51 UTC  

it was from 2006 and I got it end of 2007

2017-11-14 21:29:55 UTC  

C2Q aged well

2017-11-14 21:30:20 UTC  

so you don't think this one will feel in 2027, like the C2Q feels today?

2017-11-14 21:31:49 UTC  

Well it might, it's definitely dependent on what you do with it

2017-11-14 21:31:58 UTC  

and how much PCs change

2017-11-14 21:32:09 UTC  

Maybe we will have quantum computers by then

2017-11-14 21:32:27 UTC  

would actually be amazing and drive me to spend money on computers again

2017-11-14 21:32:38 UTC  

Like Intel's last flagship CPU was a quad core with 8 threads like yours

2017-11-14 21:32:55 UTC  

Now they're 6cores

2017-11-14 21:34:10 UTC  

Even if quantum computers become available in 2027 they will be an external peripheral rather than a CPU replacement

2017-11-14 21:34:19 UTC  

PCs are set to change fast, hopefully

2017-11-14 21:34:37 UTC  

The C2Q aged so well cause PCs didn't change

2017-11-14 21:35:05 UTC  

What I did on my C2Q: Fedora, IntelliJ (Java, Go), Firefox, Darktable, Krita, VLC, Netflix

2017-11-14 21:35:09 UTC  

that's basically it

2017-11-14 21:35:19 UTC  

You'll be fucking set

My dad still has an i7-870, and he runs three monitors - video editing, porn, lots of piracy, lightroom, etc

2017-11-14 21:36:14 UTC  

kek

2017-11-14 21:36:16 UTC  

Little shitter keeps up even though it's a 2009 CPU

2017-11-14 21:37:35 UTC  

i7 870 is way more powerful than what most people have in their laptops today

2017-11-14 21:38:06 UTC  

Well my C2Q also kept up with my 2016 ThinkPad
