Okay, I'll bite. I'm at a loss at how this works. An average car from the 1950s is not as fast as an average car from 2000. Besides erasing all the bullshit and "TSR" (don't know the modern term for it) programs, how is 1 GB of memory the same as 4? Like comparing gunshot wounds from a .22 and a 12 gauge.
My Compaq laptop from 2002 will never be as fast as my Toshiba laptop from 2008. The software requirements dictate that, don't they? A photo editing program that takes 10 minutes to load on the '02 loads in a minute on the '08.
If this is the case... what is the excuse for ubernerds buying new computers every other year? Shouldn't they know how to fix their rig?
