    There's a difference between keeping an old system around to still make use of it and actually putting more money into it for negligible benefit.

    Cost-benefit analysis <-- learn it
    Not sure what that file's gonna do? Check it with ANUBIS - Analyzing Unknown Binaries
    Is that site DOWN FOR EVERYONE OR JUST ME?

    Well put.
    The socket A platform is at least ten years old.

    The highest level processor for it was released five years ago (barton 3200+), and no processors for the platform are in current production. It has been a technological dead end for half a decade.

    Today's semprons and celerons (junk chips in my opinion) are indescribably more powerful than even the best chip on that ancient platform at a fraction of the cost - you have to pay a very high premium for antiques like that, lol.


    It's about being wise enough with money - not to buy, or recommend buying... well, garbage.
