"there is no least-worst option" upgrade hell, been there, done that, got the psychic scars - for me it was the point where the cobbled-together frankenbox could no longer be properly upgraded because nobody was making video cards etc that fit the old motherboard, BUT all that ram! all those incremental upgrades! even though objectively, by the *current* standards, they were pretty slow and old and worthless, they still HAD cost X amount - and anyway I didn't have the money to buy a new beast, anyway. ("But they're cheap now!" people would say encouragingly, and I'd be "That's 3 paychecks, how am I supposed to pay the rent?"
