    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.

    My high-school-senior (2007) build was an ASUS P5N-E-SLI with a Q6700 on it, stock cooler, 8800 GTX, in an Antec Nine Hundred. Absolute classic! I'll send it to you if you promise to feature it before it gets scrapped. It's the only way I'd finally get rid of it because I can't bring myself to take it to the recycler.

    This hit the nostalgia hard, especially the OCZ components. My uncle worked for OCZ and I was running them from pre DDR days (Intel value PC133 anyone?) up until their demise. Shout outs to the bleeding edge forum and their OCZ support. Still remember pushing my 4800x2 to a 50% OC under dry ice (first one I managed to kill after a few runs by letting it cool down too much before getting it loaded). Was pretty disappointed not seeing a DFI mobo, that was the go to at the time. Also remember my dual opteron 265 build and thinking I was the hottest thing around with 4 cores. Then moving to the core 2 duo e6600, would have to dig through my old screenshots to see what I was running it at under phase change.

    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 recently decided to crack my old unused Tower open to see what exactly was wrong that made me switch to a laptop like 7-8 years ago and was legit surprised the PSU was at the bottom of it. 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.

    I built my first PC in 2003. AMD was definitely on top then. The specs were:
    AthlonXP 2400+ 2GHz (amazing price/performance)
    Gigabyte GA-7VAX board
    512MB DDR RAM
    GeForce FX 5200 128MB (terrible card)
    Maxtor 120GB HDD (huge for the time)
    and of course a CD-RW and DVD-ROM combo drive.
    All of this for $500. An Intel build of equivalent performance was $100 more. You need to adjust for inflation of course.
