One 7 years old but just upgraded to SSD/HD, CPU from original Core 2 to the Extreme unlocked edition and added 2 gigs of ram (older parts are common and inexpensive) M$ computers didn't bat an eye when I reinstalled Office. Out of 4 gig I can use 3.2. The Gigabyte mother board takes .72 or so for video even if I put a 6 mg Titan GPU in it.
Still look at the difference from the old "Duo_moon" and the transplant "NoTellPc" (same PC M$), it is the GPU that does the heavy crunching, on both current machines. ."Duo_moon" took four years of constant running to crunch 691,818 units. The same PC with a GPU did 45,613 in four also, days that is.

setiathome.berkeley.edu/ ··· id=77803The other, Scary is new, I just wanted a PC that will be useful for at last 9 years, it is a bare bones system with considerable room for upgrading, this is the first time I blew money on left side of the curve Extreme hardware.
As for now, except for "distributed computing", no conventional software can even get it warm running flat out. I gave SETI full, all the time access to all cores, threads and GPUs. I have over-clocked both CPUs but only the 660Ti GPU is over-clocked. The Titan GPU runs at 176 degrees normal clock. That unit throws off some heat; the CPU runs at 139 degrees, one degree below max at the case.
They are getting a day of rest, I didn't want to leave them unattended; Scary might eat NoTellPc
