Bummer, should have asked me this a few months ago:

486 25MZ w/ 16MB RAM
Did have a decent modem though (56K).
Played a lot of cool games such as tetris, some Ultima games, and even warcraft a couple of times... it was blast.

Ps. did you know that tetris is now in 3D? It is amazing how far games have advance recently, huh?

COMPAQ
Presario 4704
133mhz Pentium
56 mb EDO Ram
33.6 modem
1.6gb hdd

It's oh so weak. It's been my primary for 3 weeks now. I left my new computer at my parents back in Michigan (I'm in Georgia) and don't have any way to get it down here. I refuse to pay for shipping, so it's gotta wait until the next time they come down.

I've got a celery 400 @ 400 in my rig at the moment. Planning on buying a P3-700 or so for dirt cheap here in the near future.
