Computer help please

Have you tried using substreams? That might ease off the CPU load buying you some time?
 
Still shopping lol. Any opinions on this one?


How would this compare to an i7 8700?

I miss the old days when processors were simple. XT 286 386... lol

Thanks
I can't agree with you more about longing for the days of simple processor naming schemes!

TONS of used systems out there. Many, many off lease systems. I just saw Cajoling technologies mention a reseller in his vid. Maybe check them out. New BI videos found on youtube I have no idea if that reseller is good or not. Just an idea of somewhere to look for used systems.

To be fair,
You had 8086, 8088, 80286 and then you could add an 80287 to an 80286 system and 80286s could run at many different clock rates. Setting up RAM was a nightmare and hard drives were horribly expensive and most needed to be manually parked.... I had an IBM AT with an 80287 added to it as well as extra base ram to bring it from 512K to 640K and then two 2MB full length cards to give it 4 MB ram which were configured via dip switches. I believe each 2Mb was 144 16 pin dip chips, so 288 chips in total for 4 MB not counting base ram. It also had two 30MB autoparking MFM hard drives. Full height 5 1/4" bay each.

I don't miss it one bit. :oops:

Later on you had 486 SX and DX and then multipliers..... (DX2, DX4).



Did you try lowering your frame rate to 10 or 15 FPS to see if the system copes better before changing anything?
