That was cool. Even though I have no idea what a nixie tube is, I still laughed. :)

I'm still using a Gainward CardExpert GeForce2 Ti450 w/ 64mb. Just recently bought a 9600XT to replace it, just haven't installed it yet. Think I'll notice a difference??? ;)

I've got a 40 gig hard drive that isn't even half full, plus a 20 gig installed, leftover from my last computer, that I never use.

And yes, I'm still running Windows 98 ... on a 1.4 Ghz Athlon XP.

That is painful just to read! I run XP on a PII 300 with 96megs but strictly as a dedicated Bittorrent and Usenet downloader. Slow as molasses.

I use a celly 366 as my main rig, because I am broke. It has half a gig of ram, 10 gigs of hd space (on a 6 gig and a 4 gig hd), ATI Rage Pro, but an audigy sound card. One of the first gen audigy's, though I don't know if they ever updated them much

That'd be me :D

Got a Tandy 1000HX with a 4.77MHz 8088...

Also have some other dinosaurs including a TI-99/4 (and a /4A)

The most modern of my relics is an AMD 80386-40 with 4MB of RAM and a 40MB Maxtor hard drive.

Amazing that anyone who post in Anandtech who have a rig that old. I'm impressed
