[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1403081, member: 56379"] You're right. As long as nothing changes...then the same computer, running the same software, the same OS version, working on the same files and file sizes...then that older computer should work just fine.:) But in reality things do change: - folks install newer versions of programs (which are more complex) - new OS versions are installed - the internet gets more complex (including online gaming) - folks want to run newer and more sophisticated games - file sizes get larger (especially photos and graphics) ...so...newer & faster computers are needed to keep up with changes in the software and internet industries. And vice-versa...when faster & more capable computers are developed...the software & internet industries develop products to take advantage of that extra computing power (which consumers eventually then find they cannot live without). It's a two-pronged cycle that feeds off of each other. - Nick [/QUOTE]
