Computers last approx 4 years at the most.????
.
.

This one was built in 1997, still going strong. I turn it off anytime I am not using it. And, I use it several times a day every day of the year.

If your computers are only lasting 4 years, you need to quit buying junk.

I have an old ASUS board (P2L97) that has dual slots for two processors.

I fitted it up with matching Celerons (the ones with the Klamath core) and overclocked it up to about 500MHZ.

It has about 500 meg of memory, and about 100 meg of hard drive.

I only use it for certain types of testing and turn it on once in a blue moon, but it still runs.

Not bad at all for a board that came out in like 1997.
