Tbh I can't say I'm happy with it, but on the other hand I can't afford upgrading ftm while the plugins I normally use run smoothly on my system. There's also another (rather peculiar) reason for sticking with this old PC: it helps me "tame" my GAS
My main instrument is bass and there's not much room for saving when it comes to that, but at least I can stay away from the newer synths 'cause my system can't handle (some of) them. To me going full freeware and building my setup around old synths is the best option
