This PC has the clocks and it rocks, but it was obsolete before you opened the box.
It’s all about the pentiums baby
In my experience neither computers nor women will accept a 3.5 inch floppy.
That’s why we called them stiffy drives. It’s the 5.25inch disks that were floppy.
5.25 inches floppy, but 3.5 inches when hard. Hmm 🤔
Most of people use computers just for memes and emails, so yea, it is never obsoluted.
How you gonna post memes on a machine that doesn’t support modern browser protocols? This thing can’t even load the Google home page or probably any Lemmy/kbin instance.
You don’t. You post animated gifs
I wonder if it’s possible to get a bunch of these, daisy chain the processors, and span hard drives until it can install and run Monster Hunter World.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.
I doubt enough of these exist to make an adequate E-Machine supercomputer
Common ig has a Celeron!
It always baffles me when like the old hard drive fit in the RAM of am average today PC. What will it be in 10-20 years, 2TB RAM in an average PC?
Moore’s law will speeddown and then die, tech advancement per space will stagnate. Also, no home PC needs 2 TB of RAM.
I’m reading the other comments, and wondering why do people need to be binary like that? Yes, diminishing returns are a thing, so we shouldn’t expect the same degree of improvements, but stating hard limits is also something that usually gets laughed several years later.
We old-timers have heard that exact argument for like forever. Didn’t happen.
Even Intels chief engineer thought that after 3um there would be impossible to reach 1um.
1um = 1000nm BTW and we’re at like 3nm
My first PC had a 170 MB (!) hard disk and 4 MB RAM. After an upgrade to 8 MB it could (barely) run Windows 95.
I think we had this exact computer when I was growing up.
Yep I know my grandparents did. Played minesweeper and that cat mouse cheese and wine game like all day.
eMachines were obsolete two years before they were even built.
The sticker was supposed to be “Newer obsolete”.
I remember buying an eMachine on credit. It used crazy expensive RDRAM
What’s the problem here? That unit will do all your floppy disc needs until the end of time
Removed by mod
That’ll make a great Hackintosh!
if your distro of choice happens to be debian with openbox
they just mean, you just need to replace each component and it will be good as new!
you know, motherboard,ram,ps,cpu. those drives prolly work today if you have an ide and floppy headers… might need some molex power adapters
Comouter tower of Thebes.
it connects to the internet, dude, just download more ram
Wasn’t there a time when it was considered unfeasible that anyone would ever need more than a few kilobytes?
i’ve got a couple old emachines mintowers here, one was redone with a new (at the time) athlon ii.
solid cases for reuse, just a little tight on space inside and zero airflow intake from the front (across where the hdd bracket is). neither really matter if you’re not trying to put in a big video card and use ssd instead of hdd. so i just hang on to them in case i come across something new-ish to put in them.
Reminds me of my first desktop PC.
Intel Pentium II 266Mhz, 64MB of RAM, 2.99GB HDD.
Of course a 3.5" floppy drive was also included, and a CD-R Reader.
I had to purchase a 33.6k modem separately, tho.
It’s still good for some great retro gaming. Or maybe a server of some kind. So yeah, it’s not obsolete yet.
