wow that rig's specs are aggressively mid.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would have been a decent machine during the Bush administration.

Actually pretty great for the late 00s!

[–] Avatar_of_Self@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The specs are old enough to be one of those eMachines. Didn't they have the "Gamer" ones too with the shit specs and a mid GPU too?

2006, 2017 or 2023. And since grindr started in 2009 we can discount the first one

[–] Mwallerby@startrek.website 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Definitely 2023, they've changed the UI various times since 2017, that looks about the same as it does now

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then I weep for this poor soul. A spinning disk in 2023, that's cruel and unusual punishment.

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I just checked: A 128gb ide ssd (industrial!) costs €170, I wouldn't invest that either into a throwaway system. And its the biggest you can get.

So those specs are like 20 years out of date, and then I checked when was the last time May 4 was on a Thursday, and it was 2023.

[–] shikogo@pawb.social 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good, it would be concerning if they were a minor

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean there's a chance that machine is still running Windows Vista.

The last times May 4 was on a Thursday were 2006, 2017 and 2023. The Core 2 wasn't released until July of 2006 so I'd guess the correct year is 2017, but even then the hardware was already pretty dated. For reference, in 2017 the first generation Ryzen prozessors and Intel Kaby Lake (7th generation Core i) were around.

not gonna be gaming with that one

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or posting. Since ddr3 doesn't work with Core 2 duo

[–] J4g2F@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

There are many 775 socket boards that support ddr3 and core 2 duo/quad supported ddr2 and 3.

There are even motherboard that support both ddr2 and ddr3 like this gigabyte g41m combo

Edit: damn at least some core 2 duo's support also ddr1. So core duo supports ddr1, 2 and 3

There are almost no lga 775 boards that have ddr1 support and have core 2 duo as supported cpu. But this ASRock motherboard does support the core 2 duo and ddr1 and ddr2

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shit in all my years never used a ddr3 core 2. I even googled to make sure lol. I am error

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 8 points 1 month ago

Hello error, I am dad

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 38 points 1 month ago (5 children)

What the hell is up with that computer? You got the fastest core 2 duo paired with the slowest DDR3 ram?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That 5400 HDD was a bad place to try and cut the budget.

Bro... Core 2 Duo is ddr2 💀💀💀

[–] J4g2F@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Dude.... Core 2 duo is ddr1, ddr2 and ddr3 🦄🦄🦄

Edit: just checked out the core 2 duo e8400. Not only does it support ddr3 and 2, but also ddr1. So added ddr1

8,5 eh? Imma put on my scepticals. You're only an inch shorter than Ron Jeremy's dick? And that dick had a movie made about it.

Edit: a couple movies, if You count the porn.

Hey, 10% is the difference between Michael Phelps and a pretty good swimmer

Or not, I didn't fact check this at all

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Definitely overshot the brag with 4.9 inches thick.

I am also skeptical, can we get the guy's number so we can confirm? For a friend.

Is he saying he has a dick like two toilet paper rolls stacked on top of each other?

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

Matches with the reply, given the currently available technology

[–] friendly_ghost@beehaw.org 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Assuming a cylinder shape, that's approximately 160 cubic inches of penis?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I think the 4.9 is a circunference, like how a tailor takes your measures

That's over 2.5 liters. That can't be right.

Edit: I hope that's not right. Ouch.

That gives you decent performance on a one cylinder moped

512GB Seagate HDD 5400 RPM

Sounds like its written by someone that have never owned a Core 2 Duo, as I remember the disk sizes of that time was 500GB, 750GB and 1000GB at 7200 RPM, I think 5400 RPM is slow and mostly used on 2.5" or 5.25" disks.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Or they were just using an old drive, or a cheap one.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

5400 rpm was very common. 7200 were the performance drives.

The computer actually came with an SSD, they swapped it because they appreciate the time to think between one operation and the next

Never forget I bought an Core 2 duo against all advice and I ran Crysis better than core 2 quad beta boys

If that's diameter, that dick has similar proportions to the reply chat bubble.

If it's circumference, the diameter is 1.56".

[–] RangerJosie@sffa.community 4 points 1 month ago

I would say /theydidthemath but we're not at the bad place anymore.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

It's probably girth which is the length around. You take a string or something, wrap around, then measure the length it took to go around.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Didn't have the xeon mod, pathetic.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I game a lot on that cpu, changed it for an i5 3450 about 10 years ago. Still going strong 💪

"Is that the one that's recalled? I'm so sorry."
