What computer are you reading this with?

my thinclient! Because if I can I use everything until it breaks (ask my bike.It just got 120€ of reparations).

Hp compaq nx 6110 (laptop). I estimate it is from 2004 or 2005 (I got it from the previous company I worked. No one wanted it, what a pity). 1 gb ram, xp, firefox, 40gb hd.

I am using it since a couple of years already. Preferred pc to program the 50g (notepad++ -> connex4x -> 50g -> run)

Then I have my win 10 pro with 8 (or 16 ?) gb of ram and 256gb ssd. Not used since May because, well, I did not have the need so far (I bought it for more intensive programming tasks, requiring eclipse to run for example, but it did not happen yet). I turn it on and off only for windows updates.

The 6110 is still super for light sites (like this or wiki) and programming / remote terminal. Once again, if possible (in my opinion) products should be used. Then I also have a couple of ibm thinkpad from the same period that are ready to work in the case.

On a samsung n130 (atom n170, 1gb of ram) I installed win 10 pro and I see that with old systems with no specialized drivers win 10 eats the CPU power only to draw windows. Anyway it is ok to run the hp prime.

For benchmarks and emember comparisons (especially with the new Ryzen and similar CPUs) please look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/ or here https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/ or here https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/ . Even better, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/ . Seeing people running home servers with 640 GB of RAM is impressive, then again I can barely use the 250 Kb of ram of the 50g.

edit1: tip from an IT person. Unless one is playing or doing multimedia editing, what is important since years is the amount of ram in a system that whatever CPU is powerful enough. Instead new programs, unfortunately, demands more and more ram because they are not that optimized. Especially web browsers combined with heavy javascript sites.
