Your argument sounds like you bought hardware with some specs, and current day popular software assumes you have higher specs. No chip aging there. Don't blame

No chip aging there. Don't blame the chips for things they didn't do.
- ge96 4y agoYeah it depends what you think is useful of a laptop I guess. Can it open some websites still yes.
- yencabulator 4y agoYou're missing my point. The chip didn't "age", the chip is roughly as it ever was. Software bloated.
- ge96 4y agoYeah I understand what you're saying eg. websites now are MB's in size. Maybe I missed the point of this article "revive". edit: another random anecdote, I bought a palm top that was released in the late 90's and while it's cool/nostalgia, that's another example of a pretty much useless thing in today's needs/software-hardware compatibility idk, I hoard a lot of my old phones... I feel bad just discarding them since they still work... but what are you going to use them for, maybe wire them up and try to use them as a cluster idk.
