Hi Dallas, Oh, that is for sure. You don't really know how much better a little speed boost will make in every day tasks such as saving files, starting programs, or opening files until you experience it first-hand.
For example, I do a lot of work with audio such as editing sounds and music and when opening and saving files in Goldwave on my Compaq it can take up to a minute to open and save a wav file. Longer if I want to encode it as an mp3 file. Now, on my Toshiba it takes less than half that for the same file. It is not so much that I can make do with less memory and a slower CPU, I certainly can, but why waste time opening and saving files etc when there is better hardware that can do it in less time? That to me seems to be the essence of having newer and better hardware. There is benefits in having faster hardware even if it doesn't seem like a big deal at the time. Your computer starts faster, computer shuts down faster, programs start faster, you can open and save files faster, etc. After you get use to the added speed and performance your old computer seems slower than watching paint dry because you have a hire expectation for how long basic tasks should take. Cheers!
