    Many people browse 4-5 pages a day, see a few emails, print a few pdfs, and a core2duo, or x4, for 40#/$/Eu a box run flawlessly with linux and xfce/lxde for example.
    Even video-conferencing works fine.

    Why not?

      This is not about “old computers” in general, this is about a specific set of consumer graphics cards that are not needed for any of those things you mentioned.

      Also worth noting: a core2duo is from around 2006. These dropped cards are from the late 90s.
