I just kept using it out of habit, and had no good reason to spend money on an upgrade. ![]() The speed difference does make it more comfortable to work with the i7 and it made me realize I kept hanging on to the old DualCore far too long. It was also adequate for KiCad (Olinuxino A64 was getting a bit slow, but I do not make PCB’s of that complexity) and I was looking into buying more modern hardware when someone gave the i7 to me. My previous PC was a DualCore E6600 which was 12 year old when the power supply died. ![]() These days you can get a much more modern second hand PC for less then EUR200 or even a complete laptop including a windoze license if you want it. I’m running linux happily on an i7 860 which is a 10 year old pc I got for free, and it has plenty of power to run any application I have.
