In fairness, computers have aged a lot better than they did 20 years ago, in the far-off year of 2000.

My computer is a desktop from 2013 or so (With an i7-4770) , and other than some upgrades to the RAM (8 -> 16 GB) and the graphics (GT640 -> RX570), it's still fairly solid, and will run most things fairly decently.

By comparison, trying to use a computer from 2005 in 2015 was a much tougher ask, since it struggled a lot more with even just bare Windows 10.

My guest machine is a 4670k/16GB/1070! It still runs most games perfectly. Amazing processor series.

Edit: my Crysis machine I built when it came out was pretty rough after like three years. Athlon 64x2 4400+, 4GB, 2x7900GT SLI. It’s insane how much longer computers last now. SSDs help a tonnnnn
