Not really an analogy. You don't build a PC every month for one, and unlike a car you'll be using a PC for more than getting A to B. If its a basic box that will last until it dies don't gimp it out the box with a poky dual core in 2014.

Actually, it is a sound analogy. Getting from point A to B is exactly what a PC does, some tasks require horsepower, some don't.

Its generally ok to use the baked in Windows drivers when installing on old hardware. But when the hardware is newer then then the version of Windows you are using its important to use the driver disc.Okay guys, I gotta confess, I did not install the drivers that were on the motherboard disk. Usually I never bother installing the drivers off the disc as I figure its never anything crucial. Well I decided to give it a go and install everything on the disk. Since doing so I have noticed huge improvement. Its like night and day, I am able to open multiple programs and tabs with no noticeable slow downs. Everything from opening apps and folders to browsing the web seems a lot more fluid than it did before. The only possible thing I could point to solving this were either the chipset drivers or the SATA drivers, but honestly I never figured it would have this effect.

The cause was that he did not install the drivers.//didn't read entire thread, maybe someone else mentioned this before
