Living Room / Re: How do you resist buying ever more powerful PCs?
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on July 20, 2015, 06:01 PM »So, recently I purchased my stepson a serviceable refurbished Win7 machine. And while shopping, naturally I find a unit or two that I sure wouldn't mind having:
Intel Quad Core 3.4GHz i7-4770 32GB 1TB SSD + 2 x 3TB 7200rpm RAID 1 HDD Windows 7 Professional...
Thing is, my current setup (Win 7 Ultimate, 6 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD with a 2.8 GHz cpu) is more than adequate for my simple needs: a bit of programming, web browsing, proofreading for pay, emailing.
So I've learned over the years to resist these urges and usually in 2-4 weeks they pass. How do you deal with them?-kyrathaba (July 14, 2015, 10:26 AM)
I don't resist the urge...my bank balance (or lack-thereof) does that for me.
