it was honestly pretty cool. every desk had its own mini computer, where we did labs on a program simulating real life computer repair situations. also featured some coding. i brought my own pc there once and i rewired it and cleaned it up with my teacher. overall very cool class
I guess the best way I can put it is that bot comments feel like a sitcom character turning to the camera as they say a one-liner. They're overly pithy and "conclusive" in a way that real people's reddit comments usually aren't. They also rely a lot on fellow kids-style phrasing, like "dude really said X" or "no X, just pure Y vibes". The biggest tell is that they almost never contribute anything new to the thread, they just respond only to what's directly contained in the post and the comment they're replying to.
In this case I was only like 50% sure it was a bot until I looked at their comment history and saw it was all the same type of quip.
Of course, any of this could also be from a real person, so tread with caution - you can never be 100% sure. But if they never bother responding to insist they're not a bot, it's usually a pretty clear sign.
Yep. It's a fuzzy line and you can never be 100% sure, especially with the corniness of the average Reddit joke. That said, in this case my hunch was right - the user had other comments that started with "Sure, here's a fun and friendly reply in less than 10 words:"
They are now. in 2015 the rid you had from 1995 was a fossil. That's just how it is with electronic parts. Windows 95, 16MB of ram, early pentium processors. All of that was very old and unusable in 2015.
I'd never say it's top notch, but my super old computer with 10 GB DDR3 is running lots of games just fine. And no, I'm not talking about old games. Plenty of games from 4-5 years ago are still very playable.
Probably because you are spreading misinformation and claiming DDR3 is viable for gaming in 2025. Maybe for low-requirement indie titles but that's about it. There is not a single DDR3 supporting CPU in the market that could push a modern graphics card to any acceptable level of performance.
That processor runs on DDR4 Ram. Ddr4 is much faster than ddr3. But the actual big problem is that you can't fit a ddr3 on the motherboard that supports an I5 10400 because the format of the contacts is different
Steam support yet again being the chillest guys in existence. I once wanted to refund a game that i had accidentally left open in the background so it went over the 2 hour limit, and in my first request they denied it, then I said pretty please and they were like "alright fine"
I bought new world and played it once for 5 hours. Two days later Amazon canned the studio, and announced they were sunsetting the game. I wrote to steam support and they issued a full refund
Must be nice. I’ve been trying to get a refund for F1 24 for over a year. Bought it on sale and didn’t play for a few minutes, first time I fired it up it let me know I can’t play the F1 games anymore (hard kernel level anti cheat requirement even if you never play online). I’ve submitted 5 different refund requests pointing out my less than 1 minute of total play time and I still get refused
I have one stick of 8gb ram and didn't notice until this year. Yes it was a pre built. No I don't know how it ran intensive games with Spotify open. At this point I'm scared that if I ask how, it'll brick.
More than that, with a decent ssd you can straight up ramp ddr3 ram from 8 to effective 16 or 24, which is a decent solution for games with big initial ram load, but low in-game additional load
So what? There is no strict requirement of "i work only on ddr5", there is speed difference but surprise, if your game doesn't need a lot of ram it won't need a lot of ram speed as well
not really, i had 8gb up until a few months ago and it ran every current-gen AA game and last-gen AAA game i tried on it at a decent framerate except marvel rivals.
i never checked, but come to think of it, i avoided putting anything in the same drive as the OS since i've heard that the less free space it has, the slower the computer, so maybe that has something to do with it.
That’s the paging file. When your ram memory gets overloaded the paging file steps in, which is like a portion of your storage memory that becomes extra ram.
You can test this by turning off the paging file (easy Google search will walk you through it) and seeing if your computer immediately crashes when running a game.
Be careful however, you might make your system crash immediately after reboot if you have a bunch of apps that start up automatically when the computer does.
Nah, cope. Unless it's a high-end game on UE or something, 8GB ram should be sufficient. Even AA should at least be playable on lower settings. Assuming you have enough vram for vram stuff.
I built gaming PCs as a job and am currently a SysAdmin. You’re at best a bot run by some intelligence organization to wast peoples time on the internet.
What does that even have to do with building gaming pcs from scratch? You've probably never even seen a ddr3 plate. But it doesn't change the fact you CAN use it for gaming in 2025, even though it's kind of a shitty idea unless you have no choice
I guess if you are running windows 10, you can play Witcher 3 and/or GTA V at 1080p/60fps but those games are a decade old now. My work laptop has 16 gbs and that's just for spreadsheets and it still not enough sometimes (I don't use chrome).
When people say gaming in 2025 they generally mean like newer games such as Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, Black Ops 6, and Alan Wake 2. So I disagree with the statement that 8gb is enough for modern times as just running windows 11 needs a minimum of 4gb already.
No wonder with that entry-level monitor paired with a state-of-the-art ram🤣
im not even lying when i say these stats are worse than my computer repair class in highschool. aint no way someone actually thinks this is high-end
That sounds like a dope class im jealous
it was honestly pretty cool. every desk had its own mini computer, where we did labs on a program simulating real life computer repair situations. also featured some coding. i brought my own pc there once and i rewired it and cleaned it up with my teacher. overall very cool class
It's a $300 computer connected to a $3000 screen.
Intel 10th gen does not support ddr3
Well no wonder it crashes
No problem, just turn DDR off
No! I must continue….. to dance!

Holy shit it is a bot, and to think i actually thought what they said was funny
for my own reference, how can you tell its a bot?
Their comment history is filled with one line jokes, some aren't focused on the main theme of the post, which is a common trait for a bot.
do you check the history of every commenter you see?
I don't, but some people do, it seems.
oh I didn't check the usernames, I thought you are the same person.

To he be fair a lot of reddit's user base (not bots) does that too, one line sitcom jokes I mean

man I love this picture. it made me laugh for a minute strait
8gb ddr3 must be a fucking joke right?
What part of it looks like a joke to you? His previous high end pc had a WHOLE 4gb, and this one is clearly superior 😭
explain to a noob why?
ddr3 is very very old and not supported with that processor
DDR3 is NOT very very old…
2007 is very very old in computer terms
Bruh thats very old in general. Almost 2 decades.
Very very old fossils are not 20 years old
They are now. in 2015 the rid you had from 1995 was a fossil. That's just how it is with electronic parts. Windows 95, 16MB of ram, early pentium processors. All of that was very old and unusable in 2015.
Read the comment chain again
Sorry I meamt to reply to the other person saying DDR3 isn't old
Gods, I must be ancient then. I could legally drink in 2007 🙄
Hello ancient being, how does it feel to almost be fossilized?
but ddr3 can is really usable up to today still
For basic computing tasks maybe. Not gaming or any high intensity applications. You also won't want to invest in DDR3 due to limited CPU performance.
Happy Thanksgiving
I'd never say it's top notch, but my super old computer with 10 GB DDR3 is running lots of games just fine. And no, I'm not talking about old games. Plenty of games from 4-5 years ago are still very playable.
In todays day and age, 4-5 years ago is old for gaming.
That's irrelevant. The computer is still very much usable for gaming. Gaming doesn't mean just playing the very latest games.
well for gaming its ok too, 16gb ddr3 is pretty much enough, but yes ddr4 is obviusly better
I suppose it is if by "gaming" you mean Unreal Tournament, the original X-COM or Crysis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGyquqL0JxE it still good for budget builds
nuh
It absolutely can. IBM POWER8 is absolutely quite powerful and runs DDR3.
Can I buy that at micro center or best buy?
Probably not, I don’t know, I don’t live in the US.
Usable, sure, but you wouldn't put 8gb of it in a high end gaming rig. The joke here is that nothing about these specs are high end.
why did i get downvoted?
Probably because you are spreading misinformation and claiming DDR3 is viable for gaming in 2025. Maybe for low-requirement indie titles but that's about it. There is not a single DDR3 supporting CPU in the market that could push a modern graphics card to any acceptable level of performance.
for budget builds its a good option still, for example you can use a x79 xeon paired with a rx580 and 32gb ddr3 ecc for a really cheap price
Anything over 5 years old is technically dated in technology.
DDR3 being from 2007 makes it relatively ancient. That's like comparing a 2007 PC to a 1989 PC.
over 5 years is a bit exageration, rx5700xt is 6 years old and can almost any modern game, i would say 8 years
In "technology years", DDR3 is absolutely ancient.
That processor runs on DDR4 Ram. Ddr4 is much faster than ddr3. But the actual big problem is that you can't fit a ddr3 on the motherboard that supports an I5 10400 because the format of the contacts is different
I use 4gb
Sorry I mean 9gb

Domo Arigato Mr
Roboto haunts my dreams and my login screens
More like, low medium end if you ask me
Hell nah medium end would have at least a 8gb gpu, and even that is starting to be very tight
Entry level at best. 1650 is incredibly underpowered for any modern AAA titles. It will run competitive multiplayer games well enough I suppose
Ehh, my pc was worse only a couple years ago and did fine at medium to high quality on most games. That's why I say it
A couple years ago, UE5 was not as ubiquitous as it is now... Sadly the industry changes a lot and UE5 titles require lots of horsepower.
You can run old titles and comp games fine enough, but modern titles it's kinda a pipe dream.
Nah it's full on potato
Im saying this as a user of 1050
Huh, alright. I was using a 1060 just a couple years ago. Seemed fine
How did he even get that to turn on? I don't think 10th gen support ddr3 😭

lol i just love how the team at Steam is so calm with their responses. They just understand their clients so well lol
His entire budget went to his monitor
I know less about PC’s than a league of legends addict knows about dating. Can someone explain?
all the parts listed are old as hell in a tech sense and are not "high end" at all
r/PCmasterrace is leaking again!
Wait what is this computers fuckin specs...? Ddr3?
Dude pulled his PC out of a dumpster at goodwill then flexed it.
Anyone who types 8GB of ram before “fix your game” should be laughed at.
Not ddr3 perhaps tho
We are on DDR5 atm… Do you know how computer components work or did you travel forward in time by accident?
More than that, with a decent ssd you can straight up ramp ddr3 ram from 8 to effective 16 or 24, which is a decent solution for games with big initial ram load, but low in-game additional load

I’m guessing your paging file was massive. If you had more than 75% storage utilization your device would have crashed massively.
i never checked, but come to think of it, i avoided putting anything in the same drive as the OS since i've heard that the less free space it has, the slower the computer, so maybe that has something to do with it.
