seriously I think I've bought two desktop chips in the last ten years and the last one was a non-k i5

i think the last desktop chip I bought was an Athlon XP 1800+

even the one "desktop" i purchased recently is a ProLiant MicroServer and it has a Turion

haha these are such poo poo, last time i had to work on one it ended in me building the firm a new server

it's fine for a little home backup box that can do other things, i stuffed 12GB of RAM in it and run a bunch of KVM VMs and LXC instances on it

i sure as hell wouldn't use it for real work
