Topic: How old is your computer?

i have 2 computers, a desktop and a netbook, the desktop (Dell XPS 410) is about 4 years old runs Ubuntu 10.04 LTS really good, it has a intel core 2 duo and has 4 GB ram it used to have Windows Vista but wiped it for Ubuntu Linux my netbook i got only 2 months ago and also runs ubuntu (10.04) it has a atom processor and 2 GB ram it is from A company Called System76 (the netbook is called the Starling Netbook). i am quite happy with the systems, as for the games i got nintendo for me

This one I'm using is about 13 months old.

About four years old. It gave up the ghost last weekend. When I pressed the on button, it just beeped at me and the monitor didn't even turn on. So I brought it in for repair... turned out either the motherboard or CPU had totally broken. Got a new CPU and motherboard and it works smooth like honey.

Still using XP SP3 and don't plan on upgrading any time soon, really. I also use Ubuntu 10.04.

My computer still runs XP and it's almost 1 Year old. I'm planning to buy a new Desktop PC this month.

This one is coming up to its 5th year I think. Hopefully for my birthday I will be getting a MacBook.

I believe my laptop is 8-10 years old, and it still funs like it is brand new.
EDIT: funs? wtf?

I clean my Laptop everyday with CCleaner.
I then defrag it and use Disk Cleanup.
Also I have had NO problems at all with the AVG Free program.
It doesn't bother me,doesn't slow my laptop down. Nothing. It works great XD

My computer is probably about 2 years old now. I bought it last year, but it was produced before that, so technically I guess it's 2 years old. I really don't care about computer specs and know very little about the inner makings and all that stuff. So long as it works well for the internet, Windows Media Player, and a few games, I don't care what it is, as long as it's not Apple.

This computer has been resurrected from crashing once. But basically its 5/6 years old

@Link-Hero:-

My computer is about a month old. It is Acer Aspire AX 3300 with AMD Athlon II x2, 4 gb ram, 1 tb HDD, Ati Radeon HD 4350 with 512 mb and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It plays pretty well.

Hold the phone, you don't like AVG Free? Might I ask why?

I will admit it's just a standard virus protection program, but at least it's free and not to be paid for like Norton 360 or McAfee

Ug! Trust me ok, I wouldn't be whining about AVG Free if it hadn't caused me to lose a whole hard-drive. My host-files got changed, a back door was created, and AVG Free ignored it. When I finally figured out what was going on (by installing a different AV program) it was too late.

I'm not saying anything bad about the paid version, for all I know that's really good. But AVG Free only provides the bare necessities.

I will admit, its not very good at all from getting viruses off, more at protecting. I think that Malwarebytes can find any virus no matter what, IMO.

whats this virus stuff you speak of? i never have that stuff, at least not with my Linux

lol i know what a virus is sorry if i sound like a geek

@ Terra- i think you should give a try to Ubuntu it might run pretty well.

i have some gateway that i don't know the name of. Thats really weird because i'm very computer savvy but the reason is because i got it for Christmas and i was so excited that i didn't really care

I heard some reviews saying its better than the paid for Nortons & McAffee .
Antivirus programs like Nortans used to be good but thats before the money started coming in .
AVG Free it may not be the whole suite but it does the job better than others .
