Again a big thank you too all of you who have given me all of this great
info.
I am going to give the i5 a try along with upgrading the HD to a SSD. (I had
planned that all along) I am also going to go from 8g to 16g of RAM.
So any particular recommendation regarding the i5 CPU?
I see all kinds
Windows?? In a VM when necessary.
All of my machines are running Linux, all of them are Ubuntu Mate 16.04.
I do use Compiz. But it does not seem to load things that bad, I got used to
the cube a long time ago, so I will have several things running at the same
time on each desktop (face of the cube)
I suspect the i5 and especially the SSD will be a solid upgrade.
If you haven't, getting a handle on what is loading the processor is
worthwhile. If you are using Windows (oh the irony on this list) they tend
to load up over time and some judicious use of process explorer and
msconfig goes a long
I have 8G of memory, it normally runs anywhere from 2-6G free. But I see a
lot
of things cause the processor load to hit the roof and set there for a

is why I am looking for something faster. But at times it will go down to
less than
1G available (when I have a lot of tabs open on the w
You have not said how much memory you have installed. If it isn't my
maxed out, max it out before you go spending money on another processor.

I wonder if it i practical to re-house a Dell machines like this in a
plain-jane ATX case. I've never tried to do that, so I'm not sure if
there are obstacles. In some circumstances, I'd like more drive bays

That is going to be my next step, I have moved all of my laptops to SSD,
the ones that I use day to day are both i7's and now have SSD's.
I am going to look at the i5's That maybe the way to go.
I have 8g of memory in the machine most of them time it will have about
half or less of it used, and i
SSD makes booting so nice. like ubuntu desktop in 5-10 seconds down from
45-60.
about a year ago I bought 4 or 5 i5's from ebay from different vendors, all
have been working fine.
I am seeing i7 1155's for $50 (current bid) to $99 (buy it now)

Folks,

for a while, but I keep on thinking, why get a new one when perhaps putting
a
i7 on it will give me some more speed.
I have looked at i7 processors but not sure exactly which of the bunch to
