pc's have stopped getting faster. It used to be for ~20 years
that every 18 months brought a 100% increase in performance. Now
18 months brings maybe 10%? That small increase in performance
is not worth upgrading for.  RE: End of moore's law By GotThumbs

for any old desktop or laptop would be to install an SSD drive
to replace the old spinning disk.  An SSD breaths new life into
any old system IMO.  RE: End of moore's law By Motoman on

to go faster for?  We hit a plateau of need for additional
hardware power some time ago. There's just nothing that a normal
person needs to do that can't be done with massive amounts of
processing power leftover already...been this way for years.
