    absoulute pile of shit right from when it was made, has a GPU not capable of running games from the '90s at decent framerates (>30). It barely has the power to sometimes scroll a small window at a decent speed, otherwise the scrolling performance is dire as the GPU can't provide enough power to update the screen.
    HP Compaq NC8430
    Wonderful machine, just the aging GPU is not going to receive support from AMD or Microsoft, so it can't run Windows 10

    This Powermac G5 I saved from being thrown away, it works like new and has no problems even when I got it it had no problems except one of the harddrives being reported as being able to hold 0 bytes of data, I upgraded the ram from it's original 521 MB to 8 GB and it can still hold the double of the ram inside it right now, and I replaced the not qworking HDD and it'S 10 years old
