We are geting a new computer very soon (as in any day now) I got this computer in August 2001. It was upgated, and updated and up everything so many times that I am sick and tired of it. It still works ok but this is going to be our games computer and let it age in peace :))))).
How often do you update your computer? How often do you buy a new one? Do you get cutom made one for your needs or one of the shelf?

Our 1st PC lasted us 8 years as well, hahalolCould still remember in those days when Pentium 166MMX was King in that erarasp [zweeb82]
I just fixed myself a new one in mid 2008, well ok, with some old parts put back in like the casing & a DVD-ROMlolI'm a system integrator so I don't buy off the shelf as it's much more expensive; whereas one can have more options if it's custom made. Normally I'll assemble a good one, and like you - upgrade till all you can then if it's really fizzling out the technology, then it's time to get a new onehappyThat too will normally be at least 5 years & abovelol [zweeb82]
Yup, that's true as they have their reputation to keep as wellwink [zweeb82]
I bought my computer on february, 2001. I am still using the same computer. It has been updated only once. With a new SMPS, new processor, new keyboard, & a new mouse. The capacity of the processor was same. It is a P2 machine. I dont want or wish to update it. I would wish to have a new one as fast as i can. I am not in too much need at this time so i am waiting. But as soon as i will earn some good money, i will buy a new pc. This is one thing which i would surely like to have new. Have a good day..keep smiling.. happy mylotting.. [v4vikas]
That's a wonderful news.. [v4vikas]
I bought my computer bk in 2004 & I upgraded in between somewhere in 2006 or 2007, after that dint go for any upgradation. I used to play games earlier, but now have limited so dint have the pinch of making an upgradation any time sooner. I am limiting my expense too that way. As of now my computer is working well so I am not thinking of any upgradations in the near future. [nigenh]

I only update softwares installed on my PC, I update antivirus daily, and other softwares once in a month. I am using my PC from last 3 years and till now I haven't upgraded its hardware. [shrey_naik]
