      Heh, I did something similar for my dad. He went from 2x core2quad 24gb DDR2 to a 12th Gen i5 with 32gb ddr5. Something like triple the compute power, at under $500 when he paid ~$5k for the original

      That’s crazy! If you don’t mind me asking what do you typically do on your machine and how much time do you spend on it?

      I’m just curious because I spend a lot of time on my PC and can only imagine how horrible all the stuff I do would be on that hardware lol
