Re: I got a new pc!
Post 70 is very interesting. I agree that I3 CPUs aren't bad. I have a machine with an I3-2100 and it works fine. I've always found Celerons to be ridiculously slow, but maybe it has to do with mechanical hard drives, slower RAM, or maybe the patches in Windows 10.
I've also found that computers made in 2008 or earlier may or may not run Windows 10 well. My dad found an HP laptop in the trash with an AMD CPU and it ran Windows 10 like absolute garbage! I forget the processor model off the top of my head, but it had 4 GB DDR2 RAM at 667 MHz and a 200 GB platter drive. I even tried running Linux and it still ran like crap. I don't know how much of that was due to the age of the processor, slow RAM, the fact the machine didn't have an SSD, or the Meltdown patches. Either way, it was absolute crap!
Windows 10 can run quite well with 4 GB RAM, but I recommend a minimum of 8 GB nowadays. You'll also want an SSD. The difference between an SSD and a platter drive is night and day. Once you go SSD, you'll never want to go back. You don't need ridiculously powerful processors and high amountso f RAM unless what you're doing warrants it. Something like an I3 with 8 GB RAM and a 128 or 256 GB SSD will work for the vast majority of people.
