My PC is a dualcore intel thing with 8 gigabytes of RAM. It's 12 years old. It was 2 gigabytes of RAM when I bought it and I have added an SSD some years ago and upgraded the Gfx card. It is still perfectly usable for my job (writing code, word processing, web dev). When I have bigger task, I design them on it and move them to online CPU/GPU if needed.

So it's quite a durable product and I'm proud of it.

Using Linux helps as it doesn't need 1 more gigabyte or RAM each time I upgrade it. And my emacs just consume the same amount of RAM as years ago. Very predictable.
