I do most of my posting from work on a P2 350, 256mb, 2x 9.1GB SCSI. NT4. It's not that bad really, only there is too much lag from the firewall, almost every port is blocked, and NT4 doesn't run much anymore. :(

AMD 1.2Ghz w/TNT2 Ultra video card. That's my primary computer and I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. I have 256MB of PC133 Mushkin RAM and a new 80GB Maxtor but that's about it. Everything else sucks ...

b) You should post your machines info.

c) No making fun of those with performance disabled pc's, not everyone needs a TURBO X19999 UBER GAMER BEAST 10,000 and they dont actually need more power then they already have.

Xionide you got a nice computer now man! Way better than your old one.

The systems onboard are bolted to the bulkheads. They haven't moved in months. I believe they are the slowest in a physical sense! Now give me some GD Skittles! :p

I haven't seen you post in awhile. Hello.

Slowest one in the house is a celery 300 mhz... I avoid using it whenever possible so I guess I don't count.

Have an old Dell Pentium 90 notebook. The battery charger on it is shot so it only runs on AC. Seeing as I rarely us it, It's only one step from being stored in the closet though.

I have posted from my NEC Versa S 486/50 laptop. It runs Win 95 on 12 MB RAM and has a 270 MB HD, with no optical drives. It was my best computer during law school (graduated in 1998).

ATOT takes forever to load on my computer, dammit! :D

We still have a 486/100 that's set up in the basement. Doesn't get much use though!
