How long do components last?
Not looking for definitive answer as that would be near impossible, more of an approximate guide, but how long do each of the components (cpu, gpu, motherboard etc) roughly last for before significant performance losses doing the same task? for example my old laptop lasted about 3 years before I got loads of errors trying to open certain applications and the boot time has gone from about 20 seconds to 1.5 minutes (same start up programs), using a desktop now so components are meant to last a lot longer aren't they?
