    Do you remember way, way back, when AMD and Intel were trading punches in the CPU battle? We thought it would be neat to go back, waaay back, and build the sort of machine I would have built back in the day - so we did!

      This computer didn't seem to perform too bad to me. I am not sure if progress within personal computers will be very noticeable in 15 years. There was a video with Anthony where he was talking about how old computers (8 years old) are still ok. I personally use laptops which are about 10 years old, and would prefer if XP was still supported. In terms of progress, I think the stuff you have to watch out for is the downsizing of components, computerization/network integration of many items in a household, implants, etc...

      No we won't. 15 years from now we will look at today's pc parts like we look at parts from 2013-2015.. flagship parts from that time frame is still 100% capable of delivering great gaming and performance in general. What we may notice is the quad core stagnation from the last decade. Today with as many cores as we have available as well as the number of threads games and other programs use, something like a 5900x will still be totally viable and deliver good performance in 2031. We have come quite far since the core 2 duos of10 years ago. Progress is slowing quite obviously.

      to a degree, but it will be nowhere near as drastic, considering how perceptually fast computers are today, whereas back then you actually had to wait. for instance, screen resolutions are meeting or exceeding perceptible differences, speed of processors and SSD's are already at the point where most people can't tell the difference between an older Sata ssd and a 'blazing fast' NVME. While PC technology will continue to get faster (although not in the leaps and jumps of 10 years ago), the main perceptible progress we will likely see over the next decade will be in power efficiency and thermals, and in a decade its very likely the primary silicon type will be ARM rather than x86. The other big area of progress will be wireless speeds.

    512MB DDR RAM
    GeForce FX 5200 128MB (terrible card)

    and of course a CD-RW and DVD-ROM combo drive.

    @pesfreak18 4 года назад +219

    I remember it was 2006. I had an AMD CPU in my PC. I don´t remember the name but it was the first PC that owned for myself. I was really proud because I saved a lot of my money I got from my parents (I was 14 years old at that point). A friend of mine introduced me to an online game called Cabal Online. I loved it and we played nearly everday until he stopped. I kept playing it anyway. Anyway at some point I checked the graphics setting and saw that it was only running on medium settings. I cranked it up and the game started to stutter a lot. Back in the days I knew nothing about PCs. I searched the internet for ways to improve my FPS. A dedicated graphics card was too expensive but a CPU Uprade would give me better performance because the integrated graphics was better and more Cores (Dual-Core instead of Single-Core). Like I said I knew nothing about PC but I found out that a new CPU has to fit in the same socket as the previous one. I didn´t bother about thermals or power delivery or thermal paste. I went to my local PC part store and bought the new CPU I wanted. Got back home and wanted to install the new thing. I ripped of the old cooler (literally) out of it´s place without detaching it. It was a mess. I was a little bit more careful with the CPU. At least with detaching it. Now to the new CPU. I didn´t knew it needs to get in in the right orientation. So I pushed it in the socket as hard as it could even though it doesn´t really fit, pushed the little arm on the socket as hard as I could and put back the cooler without new thermal paste and was surprised that my PC didn´t turn on. After turning off my PC I opened the case and realized that I destroyed my CPU. The pins were bent. I destroyed my new CPU. I started crying. But it gets even worse. In pure sorrow I did the same exact thing with my original CPU and destroyed it as well. It was a dark day in my live. I couldnt played online anymre, I destroyed my first PC. It was horrible. This story came back to my mind when I watched this video. Sorry for this sad and long post but I wanted to share it with you guys.

I thought it was so old the PSU would be at the top. New PSU shipped today so soon I'll be able to see if the rest of the hardware needs replacing before it will function again. Was a sad day when it blue screened five minutes after copying off the last files to the laptop that has now also gone to tech heaven.

    Back then, one of the biggest reasons why AMD was winning the high-end gaming war was because AMD were the only consumer based CPU's that used a 64-bit processor. AMD64. EM64T was only reserved for Intel's high end Xeon CPU's back in the day, so while AMD brought 64 bit to the main stream (and back then, gamers identified with "bits" a lot more thanks to video gaming consoles) Intel was playing catch up. It wasn't until their conroe CPU's wiped the floor for years to come. Now in 2020, history is repeating itself again...

    Man this is a throwback for me. I'm 32 now, so this era was when i really started getting into building pc's. I was building a lot of pc's for my dad and his friends little side business. I think I still have a couple systems in my parents basement with similar hardware. I had helped build a couple systems when I was even younger for my first gaming pc's. I'm sure theres some of us on here that remember the voodoo video card days. I remember I had a voodoo 3 3500 at one point, and I upgraded to a voodoo 5 5500 a couple years later. I forget what CPU's I had throughout the years. I remember my first personal rig had a AMD K6-2 400, I must have been around 10 years old back then playing some Half-Life and Warcraft 2 on LAN. Love seeing the throwback hardware videos.
