I guess? I don’t know. Seems like everything is advancing rapidly, hardware-wise. So when something is long in the tooth, replacing one component doesn’t get you very far. And sockets and slots have performance and cost and space compromises I don’t want to make.

And old systems are still useful.

I tend to own things until they’re completely unusable as intended (5-10 years), then find a second-tier use for them (eg linux server). Then recycle them when even that is untenable.
