We're tied. What mobo do you have? I'm running an Asus p5a Super Duper Socket A. Yep, k6-3 all the way baby.

Someday i'll upgrade. Just spent 1500 bucks on a patio deck and roof so the Centrino-laptop is now off my shopping list.

How often do you use that system? Or is that your main system?

I use that everyday for word, spreadsheet, internet and email.
I even run DiabloII on it. Kinda slow sometimes but still playable.
For the video I have Radeon 64MB VIVO and Dell 17" LCD.

I have another gaming system that use P4 1.6 and WinXP.

My office machine is a Celeron 366 o/c'd to 550MHz, wo0t! Home... not as slow, but still, well, slow: P!!! 700 o/c'd to 933.

I help the Pops with his 66MHz Mac on a regular basis. Painful... but it will run two apps at once, slowly, but it will (I added some cheap memory a while back).

not what i'm running...
but my "school work" computer (for when i NEED to write papers w/out distractions)
is a p133.
I REAAALLLY wanted a 166 but the guy that went to get it with me said "i wouldn't need it" and that 133 was "plenty fast enough"
now i run 2200+.

SHOWED HIM.

I use my 166Mhz 16MB ram PDA every day, but sadly it's faster than some of the computers posted above.

(sad for them, not for me);)
