We're veering off-topic, so I'll make this my closing remark. 10 is plenty for "browsing", per se. And having "fast internet" can sometimes cause more harm than good. I *intentionally* "throttle" my connection when streaming from my "tv provider" (I don't have a "tv", everything is streamed via computer or laptop). I "throttle" all the way down to 100 KB/s [so literally 1/100th of 10 MB/s] (I get buffer-lag at 75 KB/s but ZERO buffering issues at 100). This *forces* my "tv provider" to *STOP* sending me 4k resolution video streams! I have no use for 4k because it pegs my very old laptop's CPU at 100%. Why would I watch an hour or so here and there or an entire Sunday with the CPU pegged at 100% for the entire time? Would KILL this laptop in a matter of days. 100 KB/s seems to be perfect for 720p streaming "on the side" (more than fine for laptop display as "background" to real computer adjacently performing real tasks). That drops CPU to below 28%. 300 KB/s seems to be perfect if I want to "allow" my tv provider to send 1080p. At the expense of bumping the CPU up to around 35% and that's enough for the fan kicking up to a higher RPM occasionally.

10-40 MB/s sounds slow to me. But I had to learn something new... From here: https://www.techcalc.org/blog/mbps-vs-mbps-download-speed-explained My wireless fluctuates between 46 and 66 MB/s. So yeah, 10 on a wired is a definite sad face.

Wow! That was even more OT, random, and out-of-nowhere than even a lot of my posts!

I know, that's why I bought it. But... It did not come with the motherboard on this cheap budget-market eMachine. It was just the *BEST* replacement CPU that I could throw at it to get some life out of it when a piece-of-junk freebie was given to me. I got several years out of it, only for the cost of a CPU that would have been at least a decade old and was pennies to the dollar of what it cost in 2007.

On second thought, and not interested in digging up reviews and whatnot, but I should probably put Acer as "more junky" then eMachine. Both are "budget markets" and both were so JUNKY that the owners that bought them HATED them so much that they GAVE THEM AWAY FOR FREE. One of the Acer's I did buy (WORST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE), the other was given to me, this eMachine was also given to me.

Yes, SAME HERE, *flawless, butter, blah-blah*. But no, NOT if I'm doing nine things at once and one of those nine is 1080p. Not a Dell. Two Acer's went to Goodwill. This one is an "eMachine" (far FAR worse than Dell and far FAR worse than Acer).

4.3% with what margin of error ??? Because a different web site reports 3.9%. At any rate, do you really think 4.1 +/- 0.2 is really anything at all ??? And if single thread is more important (some cite it is!), then were talking 0.5%.

And yes, AV1 is the key. Try VP9 and report your findings. :)

You misread. I *can* do 1080p. Screencaps are above. I'm just saying that having the CPU running between 60% and 80% doesn't leave much room for multi-tasking. So everybody's level of on-the-side multi-tasking will affect the performance of their 1080p. Try 3D CAD while streaming 1080p and report your findings. :) Again, I *can* (and often *do*) 1080p.

The "Trinity Desktop" is working great. But reverting this machine to Win10 LTSB 2016.

*Mistake*. Running the "Desktop Profiler" rendered this install UNUSABLE. CPU pegged at 100%. Mouse movement skips (ie, disappears then reappears offset in the direction you attempted to move). Motherboard fan locked at noisy-fast. et cetera... Reinstalling and SKIPPING the "Desktop Profiler" (which, yeah, I kind of knew but did anyway).

The Desktop Profiler is taking FOREVER. Way way *way* longer than it did on another computer. So reading while I wait. And this seems like a NO-BRAINER to me (though I read OFTEN, even here at MSFN, on [unrealistic] expectations of 1080p on these older machines).

Annoying as H#LL !!! I really HATE screensavers kicking in at only 6 minutes !!! but anywhooo...

Although Q4OS is needing to use an OLDER wireless USB adaptor.

Q4OS - inline with expectations as far as under 800 MB RAM but this is *BEFORE* running the "Desktop Profiler".
