Do I have the worst, most outdated computer of all of ATOT?

[lancestorm]

I'm a tech dork, and yet I think I have the worst (aka most outdated) computer of all you ATOTers:

An HP from 1998...

300 mhz PII
512 MB SDRAM
40 GB HD
8x cd-r burner replaced the original 2x dvd player drive!
Running Windows 98 SE w00t!



Gimme a break! I don't play computer games. IntArnet and Email is all I need!

 

[notfred]

Hmm, it's worse than mine.

 

[mugs]

You could probably find a better computer than that at Goodwill

Hey, if it meets your needs then that's all that matters.

 

[alexeikgb]

wow.... and I thought my pc was old....

 

[Bumrush99]

What is your framerate in Doom 3 ??? Ooops I meant Duke Nukem 3d

I've got a Packard Bell from 1997 in the basement still being used.

200 MHz MMX @ 233
128 MB EDO RAM
2 GB HD
24X CD-ROM
Windows 2000

Ah! *BUT* is it your MAIN computer? Mine is my top of the line (aka only) computer!

You got me beat. But my friend, who DOES play games, has a slower computer than you.

300mhz PII
96 mb sdram
6 gb hd
cd-rom drive
windows 98

He says he can play counter-strike just fine.

Pick up a newer proc and motherboard that will work with SDRAM.

Duke Nukem 3D ran AWESOME on my sister's old Pentium 120 with 64MB of RAM.

 

[Bumrush99]

What video card do you have???
S3 Virge 2MB???

I'm sure it does its job OK, especially if you only browse the web and use Office 97.. Most of us geeks spend thousands of dollars to waste time playing games, when all we should have done was purchased and Xbox for $300

 

[CVSiN]

P3 450
64 megs of ram
windows 98
2x creative DVD kit..
TNT2
5gig hd..

my IRC / DVD / Voice Chat box hehe

 

[K1052]

I have a Tandy XT in the basement that I keep for sentimental reasons.

Until a few months ago, I had a quad Pentium Pro 200 system that got regular use. It was quite the box in it's day.

 

[Klixxer]

Sometimes i surf AT with a Cyrix-686 166, 96mb of ram and two 1.6 GB seagate barracuda SCSI disks in RAID1

 

[joecool]

hmm, if your such a tech dork, why not upgrade? win98 kind of sucks.

 

[PTCvette]

Nice rig! My wife's computer blows that away and she uses it once a month to check her email! But seriously.... If it does what you need it to, great! I do have a nice K6-200 out in my workshop so I can listen to web radio and stuff while I mess around out there, so I guess you technically don't have the crappiest computer out there.

K6-200Mhz
128MB RAM
1GB HD
16X CDRW
Win98se

It gets the job done out there for as little as it gets used!

I still have my old ALR system which was probably new in 1990 or 1991, used from 96-99.

486DX 66mhz (upgraded from its orginal 33mhz)
16 megs of ram
2 hardrives @ 200 megabytes each
Some old ass video card
4x cd rom drive
Runs Windows 95

I run old games like Crusader: No Remorse, Master of Magic, Civilization 2 and Arena 1 on it. This was my first real computer I worked on myself and actually used this thing from my sophomore to senior years in Highschool from 96-99. Me and my friends nicknamed in the TRACTOR because it was so slow. It actually ran Starcraft which was pretty cool.

It will be if I sell my XP1800 rig for college book money.

LOL! It's what I did...xbox is my gaming system of choice!

 

[lancestorm]

I wonder how long it would take me to fold one packet for ATOT?!

 

[Mr N8]

My Dell Axim is more powerful that your PC.

You could probably run duke nukem 3d on that too. I swear, that game will play on anything.

Well I don't use it, but I do have a linux system sitting around somewhere:

Pentium 120
64 MB of Ram
1.5 GB HDD
