    I have to admit to focus more on efficency, had plenty of processing power for my needs for years, also prefer having a number of specialised machines than trying to have a machine do all my tasks.

    Here are the specs for the fastest of my five laptops. The specs are very basic compared to current laptops. But, even with a 5 1/2 year old processor it really is more than fast enough do anything I need it for. Even my Compal HEL80 which is 30% slower runs fast enough for me.

    Laptop:
    - CPU: Core 2 Duo P8600 2.40GHz
    - RAM: 4gb 1600MHz
    - GPU: Radeon HD 3400
    - Hard Drive: 500gb 5400 RPM
    - Screen: 14.1" 1280x800
    - Type: Lenovo ThinkPad T400
    - OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    Ah so you're running the card for dsp and then the amp for quality. How do you like that setup? Does the DG handle everything you'd like it to? I was thinking about going the same route but kind of decided not to since I don't really game with headphones and there aren't really any 3D technologies for speakers.

    I feel the need to add, that I don't refuse to upgrade, I have just have absolutely no need to do so.

    The last time I purchased a new laptop was 7 years ago. At the time it was quite expensive - $1,500. Since then, I've purchased several second hand laptops, but no more new ones. My seven year old laptop which I am running Windows 7 on, surprisingly is more than fast enough to do anything I need.

    If I wanted to play the latest 3D games, then I would need a much more powerful laptop, but I don't use it for gaming. I rarely use it these days, as I have a smaller laptop (14" vs 15") which I find to be a more convenient size to use when it comes to portability. This laptop cost be about $170 on eBay. After purchasing it I replaced the hard drive with a larger one, and I think I may have added more RAM, and probably soon I will add more RAM again. This laptop is around 50% faster than my older laptop (based on benchmark results for the CPU), but I never find the older laptop to be slow.

    My laptops sometimes struggle a bit when playing some high resolution videos. But, that is the only instance in which they do so.

    I even installed Windows 8 on an aging Sony laptop which cost well under $100 from eBay, and it ran very fast.

    So, no I don't "refuse" to upgrade, I don't upgrade because it seems like a pointless waste of money.

    The sound card sounds great to me, has quite a few settings in the Xonar DG Audio control software, music & games sound really good with it, only issue I have noticed is that in Win 8-8.1 the sound is a bit quieter than I would like especially the bass.

    Really, even the CPU? How's Windows 8.1 running on it?

    Yes exactly that model with everything the same. Win 8.1 is running great. You've upgraded the RAM to 2GB right, 'cause it comes with 1GB? I have the Red color one. What color is yours? Since the model is old, have you cleaned the inside especially the fan yet? I've cleaned it last month and experienced the great hassle first hand. I broke the keyboard/touchpad connector in the process.

    Had to install some of the drivers from Acer's website after installing Win 8.1. Drivers upto Win7 is available in the website. But they run fine in 8.1.

    You can't run apps in Win8.1 due to the low screen resolution in AO532h. Only can run the desktop. There's a way though. Have to modify a registry key and restart. Then the system loads with everything in the screen smaller and tinier. Still can see everything clearly but not as convenient as normal.

    I've also replaced my battery last year. Now the netbook is good as new.
