Thoroughly Amortized
I am downloading and installing the latest updates on the recording computer. A bit of investigation indicates that it is twelve years old, which explains why it seems to be slow. The computer in the studio is, if I recall correctly, at least seven years old and being a bit long in the tooth as well.
I foresee new computers in my future, although the current chip shortages may delay that a bit.
(I am looking at the Alder Lake CPUs with a covetous eye, but I am also waiting for the motherboards with built-in Thunderbolt support to show up at a reasonable price. And since I'm using this for recording, not for gaming, I think planning to use the integrated graphics is going to be in order. We'll see.)
ETA: The computer in the basement is ten years old, having been built in spring of 2011. The addition of an SSD and a whole bunch of RAM *has* pepped it up quite a bit. :)
