550 Mhz Pentium
64 MB Voodoo 5500
728 MB RAM ( stocked up back in the good ole dayz)
Plextor 40 X
Toshiba DVD ROM
Dell 19" Trinitron.
2 120 GB Hard Drives ( That deal at dell was way too cool!)

Although i have a sis mobo, in the history of my computer with windows 2000, my comp crashed/hung only twice in the past two years, MS did a great job this time.

Probably me, I don't know even the specs. :eek: All I use it for is the net and MSWord, so I don't need much.

My backup PC (runs Mandrake 8.2) is a PII 400mhz with a Matrox Millenium G200 (8MB) video card and about 16GB storage w/256MB RAM. I use it occasionally to post here when I have my main PC doing something..

If you'd asked me this same question 3 years ago, I'd have said:

Mac IIci
25mhz (with the 68030 accellerator)
12MB RAM
12" monitor
14,400 USRobotics modem
MacOS 7.5.3

Yes, at the time that WAS my primary computer...
