3.2Ghz quad core processor clocked to 3.6Ghz :unlimited-power: :unlimited-power: :unlimited-power: :unlimited-power:
On a mobo with 3 phase power delivery(VRM heats to over 100c) :elmofire: :elmofire: :elmofire:
2 x 2GB DDR3-1333 clocked to 1600 :sicko-hair: :sicko-hair: :sicko-flipped: :sicko-flipped:
GTX 550 Ti 1GB :gigachad-hd:
2 spinny disks with no SSD in 2022 :sicko-speeeeen: :sicko-spin:
Boot time counted in minutes :lenin-sleeping:
Runs AAA games from 10 years ago just fine :xinternet:
I didn't realise how slow my computer worked before I got my first SSD
I feel the need to go lovingly stroke my nvme drives after reading the words "spinny disk" without a CW in front of it.
You could probably spoof below minimum requirements to get around a forced update
Or you could switch to Linux :side-eye-1: :side-eye-2: something which I definitely need to get around to but am too ingrained in the mac pro tools ecosystem for it not to be rough :sadness:
Them forcing the update on me will be the final straw for me to move my desktop to Linux. I've been getting used to it on my laptop for a few months now.
lmao I 100% depend on Xcode for freelance work and I'm currently struggling to get a MacOS VM with GPU passthrough on arch Linux because I broke the SSD with the hackintosh partition and I don't want to update clover to opencore, I'd recommend it but it seems like it has all sorts of issues and I'm starting to regret my decision. I'm probably going to bite the bullet and get a Mac mini eventually but not today.
I mean Ardour is a pretty fantastic Pro Tools-esque alternative, but I'm guessing you're in the groove with some nice VSTs you'd have trouble replacing.
Mac Pro Tools ecosystem more so meaning Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Logic Pro X, etc
I had a 965BE and a 550ti back when they were current, cool to see them still out there.
Sorry to disappoint but it's just AIDA64 incorrectly detecting the mobo's floppy drive support as having a floppy drive.
I once did consider adding a 1.44 MB floppy drive to it, but I already used up both of the 5.25inch bays. (A lightscribe DVD-RW and a hard drive mount)

The more I read about this computer the more intrigued I am by it.
If it still runs what's the problem, wish people would accept this about tech in general. I have a lga775 that still works and I use it for old gaming. The most demanding game I play is probably modded Oblivion.
