512MB DDR SDRAM
Dell Enhanced Keyboard
19" Sony Trinitron flat-screen CRT-type boob tube
64MB GeForce3 Ti 200 Graphics Card

I have not tried to overclock it or even change LED colors; this is how it came from the factory.


I also have a laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro CDT-460; but I do not have the specifications for this computer handy at the moment.
I know it has a Pentium II at somewhere between 175MHz and 350MHz; and runs Windows 98.

Well it's nice to know that at least a few of you have a slower computer then myself. It's a P4 2.26gighz. It will take up to a 3.2gighz but dang those northwood (512meg cache) cpus are more expensive then more modern faster cpus. I've kicked around replacing my main 7200 rpm ATA HD with one of the Raptor drives but I wonder how much really would I notice a speed difference?

My primary machine is a PowerBook G4 12" 867Mhz w/640M RAM and 40G drive. Not the fastest, but plenty for work, play, backing up DVD's, etc... :) I've got a PC for the wife, but that will be replaced with a Mac Mini for Christmas. My home server is a P4 1.8GHz w/1G RAM, 120G SATA RAID-1 and 250G RAID-5 running FreeBSD. Oh...and a Commodore 64 w/5.25 floppy, tape drive, & 1200 baud modem.

Now I think you may be BSing a little. Could you even get on the net even with just a modem with that rig? However in high school, my first computer experience was with a Radio Shack TRS80 with 16k of RAM.

IBM 5150

8088 @ 5~8Mhz
256K of RAM
Dual 5-1/4 floppy

:popcorn: :p

Win98SE

Works perfectly well for what I need so apparently I don't put much strain on it. I'm happy with Win98SE except for when I need to install something new, particularly any form of USB device. However I have a new 3GHz computer at work with the latest WinXP and it is less responsive than my home computer, and there are lots of aspects of WinXP that I think are harder to deal with than Win98SE.

For the past 17 years or so I have built and upgraded my own computers, and actually my last completely new computer was bought 15 years ago. Since then I have just upgraded a few parts at a time, meaning get a new case, or get a new motherboard, or get a new hard drive, or whatever, and put it back together with the parts that I'm keeping. In the case of my current computer, I got the motherboard/memory/videocard/case about 3 years ago, added my old hard drive/floppydrives/CD drive/keyboard/etc, so even that one is not all new. I've never gotten a new harddrive and reloaded applications. I've always copied or cloned from one to the next. I have files on my hard drive that date back to the middle 80's.

My first puter was A Commodore Vic 20 with 5k of ram and a tape backup. :rock: I used to load a game and wait 20 or 30 minutes for it to load.

Aside from the 8088 I think I'm the slowest: PIII 800 MHz.

My past computers (bought new): Commodore Pet (8k w/ chicklet keys), Vic 20, C64,
then my current Dell PIII.

Between the C64 and the Dell I had a $20 garage sale Fat Mac and later a hand-me-down 68030 Mac with colour screen!

Re: post your pc specs

Dell Latitude D400
1.3ghz
FSB 400
1GB RAM
12" Screen
40GB HD (plus 60GB external)
CD/DVD (external)

Purchased this thing in August 2003 and plan to buy an new one around next August. It's been a very good workhorse o f a laptop. One most of the time and only had minor problems with it which were fixed in a day or two. I'd like to get somthing like the Samsung X10. Want a larger 14" brighter screen and bit faster FSB with much larger HD but still 4lbs max like my D400. Definately want Wifi N and a built in microphone as well an SD card port. hmmm... My wife has most of this in her Fujitsu :thinking:

My first computer was an Apple II clone called a Pinapple. I has the coolest text games like Start Trek and Mission Impossible and then I got this new program that changed they way I did things and later brought caculating spreadsheets to the masses. It was called Visicalc.
