I've been meaning to buy some memory for mine


but I don't know how to put it in.

11/27/2007 9:54:31 PM

the "heart" of the machine (aka processor/mobo): right about 2 years

the oldest components (case and monitor): over 9 years. November 1998 represent!

Though I did just build a new PC for primary/gaming duty. This machine will become secondary and my "old" PC, another 1998 survivor that's still chugging along, finally hits retirement.

The 1998 monitor will continue in service.

11/28/2007 2:45:05 AM

About 6 or 7 years.

11/28/2007 3:05:30 AM

^fuckkkkk

6 months on desktop....normally go every yr and half before new one

11/28/2007 3:12:34 AM

I got a P2 Compaq back in 1997 or 1998

when it shit the bed, i pirated all the parts i could off of it (cd and disc drives, etc...don't remember what else) and built a new computer, prob around 2001 or so. It's been a continually evolving piece of gear since then...everything has been replaced at least once (to include the case), but usually only one or two pieces at a time (biggest update was new motherboard, CPU, and RAM, nearly 4 years ago).



it has lots of problems, though...doesn't stay connected to the wireless network most of the time...I continually have to repair the connection (this may be a setup error of some sort, but i'll be damned if i can figure it out, and my roommates' computers don't suffer from this affliction).

it also gets the blue screen of death/restarts on its own/turns off on its own several times per day.

gonna buy a laptop to replace it, but don't want to spend the money.

^ just get an e-machine desktop you can get one that will suffice for less than $200

If you have any superior parts in your old computer put them in the new one.

11/28/2007 2:58:59 PM

year - 2 years depending on the part.... this summer most of it is going to get replaced

11/28/2007 3:24:19 PM
