  • XD I mean, there are also discreet GPUs from the 90’s, yet pretty much all integrated GPUs are far more performant than that.

    Your discreet GPU is over 12 years old and even back then it was an entry level card. So, actually, it is very weak and, for many use cases, weaker than many current integrated ones. Not to mention possible lack of current driver support, etc…

    You could also look up the other parts, I won’t do that for you. But the same counts for the “i7”. If the i7 is nearly as old, it’s weaker than some i3s from today and definitely weaker than lots of i5s, nowadays.

    Again… Same goes for the RAM, etc… If your RAM is really slow, then the size of the RAM will only be useful for certain use cases.

    Again and again… You have to research for every part, to really know, what they are capable of. Just saying “i7” and “discreet” does not make the PC any better, whatsoever.

    In short: you can use the computer for a lot of stuff, but only very limited. If you want to do something very specific, really well, then you need to find the right niché, where it might work well. Otherwise, as I initially foreshadowed, there is actually not much you can do with those specifications. ¯_(ツ)_/¯












  • Very true. Been programming/scripting in Bash since many many years, I could almost consider myself an “expert”, however I still need to look up the same crap over and over again, since remembering weird symbol constellations is the last thing you should do, when you actually just wanna achieve a goal with the script and not learn how to summon the spirit of some C-related language creator.
