Who is running the most outdated PC here?

I'm still using a Pentium 200, not even a Pentium II, with 32 megs of ram and a 3 gig hard drive. It's not my main machine though; it only gets used for word processing, internet and a few games. 🙂
 
If its just one that runs, i have a

40 mhz amd
4 mb of 70 ns ram
400 mb HDD
with a 4.8 kbps modem

it even has a turbo button 🙂 man I miss those, one button overclock 😀

 
Main system: 1.2ghz Athlon
2nd system: 300mhz K6-2
3rd system: 266 K6-2
4th system: 12mhz 286 🙂
 
main: duron 750/256 RAM / 30GB hdd
second: p233mmx/256 RAM/ 1.2GB hdd
third: 386sx/33/2MB RAM/106MB hdd

third one's floppy controller is messed up and isnt even worth the trouble anymore, the p233 is gonna be my router once i get the second nic workin right, i can use it for general surfing, and its useable, albeit a bit slow. perfect for irc though. i have debian/blackbox on it, and it runs like a champ considering its age 😀

so is that used as a paper weight or doorstop?? 😛 >>



Haha... Actually i had it running linux in a spare bedroom for a little while... Was fun to play around on, but every time i turned it on it kept saying my hard drive wasnt mounted, i gave up... Oh yea, it was 12mhz with the turbo button on, i think 8mhz (maybe less) without...
 
Well, I'm not running it here, but my niece is still using an old P150 with a whopping 48MB RAM and 1GB HDD that I handed down years ago. It was state of the art when I bought it in Jan 1996.
 
I'm still using my K6-3/400 @ 450, 384mb ram, 40+18gb..

I never upgraded when the Athlon came out.. :Q
 
Last week i turned on my 286 for fun.

80286 8mhz
80287 (fpu) 10mhz
upgraded it from 1mb ram to 4mb.
120mb maxtor hdd
windows 3.0
256K vid card.

a couple weeks back while i was waiting for my chip to come in i was using a

Pentium 133@200
24mb ram
1mb vidcard
2gb scsi HDD
win95

Hey, don't bash the 16-bit 286 systems!! :|

My first real PC was a 286 (Philips, 4 MB RAM, 40 MB HD, DOS 5.0) 😱

Not that I still use it, or anything 😛
 
Hehe.
I have a Vic-20 running the alarms and automatic lights in my grandparent's cabin. I went through two bricks (power transformers) before making my own. It's been running non-stop for six years now...
 
386/16 that thinks it is cracking RC5

Just to say that it thinks that it useful. Boost for the systems ego 😀

Actually acts as a print server also
 
Main system is an XP 1800+
2nd system is a Celeron 733
3rd system is a PII 333
File server is a dual Pentium Pro 200
