Core 2 Ruleo

wow that rig's specs are aggressively mid.
- It would have been a decent machine during the Bush administration.
  
  🤣
- Actually pretty great for the late 00s!
- The specs are old enough to be one of those eMachines. Didn't they have the "Gamer" ones too with the shit specs and a mid GPU too?
  
  eMachines were Gateway’s budget models. They didn’t have any models with video cards. These are actually pretty solid specs for a late 00s laptop, certainly out of eMachine range! At that time, eMachines would have a Pentium or more likely a Celeron and 2GB RAM.

Fourth of May… 2007?
- 2006, 2017 or 2023. And since grindr started in 2009 we can discount the first one
  
  Definitely 2023, they've changed the UI various times since 2017, that looks about the same as it does now

So those specs are like 20 years out of date, and then I checked when was the last time May 4 was on a Thursday, and it was 2023.
- Good, it would be concerning if they were a minor
  
  I mean there's a chance that machine is still running Windows Vista.
- The last times May 4 was on a Thursday were 2006, 2017 and 2023. The Core 2 wasn't released until July of 2006 so I'd guess the correct year is 2017, but even then the hardware was already pretty dated. For reference, in 2017 the first generation Ryzen prozessors and Intel Kaby Lake (7th generation Core i) were around.

not gonna be gaming with that one
- Or posting. Since ddr3 doesn't work with Core 2 duo
  
  There are many 775 socket boards that support ddr3 and core 2 duo/quad supported ddr2 and 3.
  There are even motherboard that support both ddr2 and ddr3 like this gigabyte g41m combo
  Edit: damn at least some core 2 duo's support also ddr1. So core duo supports ddr1, 2 and 3
  There are almost no lga 775 boards that have ddr1 support and have core 2 duo as supported cpu. But this ASRock motherboard does support the core 2 duo and ddr1 and ddr2

What the hell is up with that computer? You got the fastest core 2 duo paired with the slowest DDR3 ram?
- That 5400 HDD was a bad place to try and cut the budget.
  
  I guess they should have cut the processor, or RAM, or the graphics instead?
- Bro... Core 2 Duo is ddr2 💀💀💀
  
  Dude.... Core 2 duo is ddr1, ddr2 and ddr3 🦄🦄🦄
  Edit: just checked out the core 2 duo e8400. Not only does it support ddr3 and 2, but also ddr1. So added ddr1
- 1066 MHz = 2132 MT/s, which is fairly average by DDR3 standards
  
  I think they mean 1066MT/s, 2133MT/s is in overclocking territory and iirc the fastest jedec standard is ddr3-1600

8,5 eh? Imma put on my scepticals. You're only an inch shorter than Ron Jeremy's dick? And that dick had a movie made about it.
Edit: a couple movies, if You count the porn.
- Hey, 10% is the difference between Michael Phelps and a pretty good swimmer
  Or not, I didn't fact check this at all
- Definitely overshot the brag with 4.9 inches thick.
  
  Maybe he meant "around"?
- I am also skeptical, can we get the guy's number so we can confirm? For a friend.
- guys who have actually big dicks tend to understate them on grindr and stuff. it's easier to undersell it and let them discover in person than it is to tell the truth and have to deal with the "oh really? I doubt it." bullshit every single time where suddenly everyone is a CSI photoshop-detecting photography genius. better to just fly under the radar as average and exceed expectations once they can't argue it's "just the angle".

Heh, potato gaming

Is he saying he has a dick like two toilet paper rolls stacked on top of each other?
- Matches with the reply, given the currently available technology

Assuming a cylinder shape, that's approximately 160 cubic inches of penis?
- I think the 4.9 is a circunference, like how a tailor takes your measures
  
  OK, whew. That would bring the volume down to 65 cubic inches, or just over 1 liter
- That's over 2.5 liters. That can't be right.
  Edit: I hope that's not right. Ouch.
  
  They call me Big Gulp
- That gives you decent performance on a one cylinder moped

Internet’s full of bots, smh

512GB Seagate HDD 5400 RPM
Sounds like its written by someone that have never owned a Core 2 Duo, as I remember the disk sizes of that time was 500GB, 750GB and 1000GB at 7200 RPM, I think 5400 RPM is slow and mostly used on 2.5" or 5.25" disks.
- Or they were just using an old drive, or a cheap one.
- 5400 rpm was very common. 7200 were the performance drives.
  
  As I remember around 2007, 5400 RPM was frowned upon in builds.
  The disks I have from that time is a WD RE2 (very noisy 7200 RPM) and a few WD Green's (I think they are slower than 5400 RPM just to mess with my arguments).
  
  And if you wanted very high performance, you could go with a 10000rpm one.
- The computer actually came with an SSD, they swapped it because they appreciate the time to think between one operation and the next
  
  The latest the CPU could've come out is around the time Barack Obama became a household name, at which point 64GB would've been a really big and expensive SSD. They probably wanted space

Damn, bro needs to upgrade his build that shit would take ages to boot

Never forget I bought an Core 2 duo against all advice and I ran Crysis better than core 2 quad beta boys
- Crysis was single threaded so single core clock speed was the bottleneck. It remained a benchmark for so long mostly because after it's release multicore systems became the norm.

4.9" thick? Wut?
- If that's diameter, that dick has similar proportions to the reply chat bubble.
  If it's circumference, the diameter is 1.56".
  
  I would say /theydidthemath but we're not at the bad place anymore.
- It's probably girth which is the length around. You take a string or something, wrap around, then measure the length it took to go around.

I game a lot on that cpu, changed it for an i5 3450 about 10 years ago. Still going strong 💪

Didn't have the xeon mod, pathetic.

"Is that the one that's recalled? I'm so sorry."

What cut of meat is the butcher describing?
