if anyone is interested, spec-wise this computer is nothing special. it's a dual-core Pentium with a mid-range 2004 graphics card. only exception is sound. this is the best sounding computer i ever had, so it often just sits there with Winamp opened and Milkdrop fullscreen. when using high quality audio files, Winamp not just whips the llama's ass, but does it so hard it sends said llama to 4th dimension from where it gets isekai'd into a minecraft world (and that's how minecraft llamas were created)
