PCI Simple Communications Controller.

I would say the computers age LESS quickly than they used to. I got my first one in 1988 and after ten years it was way beyond obsolete. The one I'm typing this on is ten years old (an HP Pavilion 793.UK) and it's fine. I can find no subjective difference in speed, since upping the memory, compared to my Sony Vaio lap-top which is five years old and theoretically far superior.

I had the same back-up thing with Vista but fitted it on two DVDs.

As ever, it's Horses for Courses and my needs aren't very demanding.
