Who's got the crappiest system here?

Hey, just wanna see if anyone can top my monster of a computer.

Right now I am running a...

Athlon 750
384 mb of ram
20 gig HD
GeForce 2 MX
SoundBlaster Live!
17' monitor

I'm in dire need of an upgrade, but I'm just a poor college student trying to get by.

Not me.. but the girl I live with has a Laptop (read: Size of a bloody dictionary) that's a pentium 90 or something like that. Another guy I live with brought his computer here (res) from home. It's in an old 386 case (with the Turbo button, speed display, and all). I can't wait till he starts it up hehe.

My In-Laws are in the process of upgrading their trusty 286 with Windows 3.1 to a P4/3G beast.
They're stalling on whether to get a 17"LCD or 19"CRT (go figure - at least they're upgrading).

my "slowest" here is a mostly OEM (changed the video card/HD/soundcard/added NIC) Gateway PIII 650 with 320 MB of RAM that is my primary server. Used to run win2k server with active active directory and DNS until I moved and had to make some changes for my present DSL setup.

the other three systems have a mean speed of 1.5 GHZ or thereabouts

Next would be the

Oh, you were talking 'puters! Crappiest one? The Gigabite bitch I built. The same customer service ASUS offers. Non existent. ASUS sucks and seems to be competing with Gigabite as far as customer service.

They both suck.

My dad said he just tossed out all my old computer stuff that was cluttering up the house, but I think he said he kept my AMD 486DX/100 for some reason.

I was pissed he ditched the old <a href ="http://oldcomputers.net/compaqi.html">Compaq Portable</a> and my 386DX/33.

When I was last home during Christmas, I put together a fraken-puter with all the "best" parts from all my computers that I was going to bring out here, but he tossed that too. It was a mish-mash of parts from 1980's to 1990s. I think I put my 80meg Maxtor HD in there for just for kicks.

What you guys call a crap pc is nirvana to me.

This is my best pc:

Pentium II 300
64MB Ram
S3 video card (1M memory)
4.2 GB Hard Disk
Aztec Sound Galaxy 16bit card. It has DirectSound issues.

My other pc is a Pentium 1, 166MHz with 16MB Ram and a 1GB Hard drive. No sound card, and a 1MB Graphics card.

Both of them run on windows 95, the first (and mostly unsupported) version. This thing has bugs you cannot patch.

Well, when I built my top machine, it was the absolute best money could buy. Of course, that was almost 4 years ago now.

It's amazing how getting a girlfriend, losing your job, getting married, and having a baby affect your ability to upgrade a computer. I'm planning on a new one though, there are just too many good games comming out in the next year to wait.

Depends on the OS she's using I would say. That hardware is old... does the mobo have a PCI slot?

Although I don't, and haven't for years, used this computer. I still have it; the first computer i'd ever layed hands on.

286 Laptop (Backlit screen)
2 3 1/2 floppy drives
No hard drive
512k ram
About the size of a typewriter.
Thats about it.

It was a computer my dad got for work. We used to play Space Quest 2 on it when I was 6. Although i'm sure others have seen and used much older, it is about the oldest machine i've ever used.

My grandpa worked with computers since the early 60's and we always hear stories about the first hard drive-like devices that were pretty much a 6 foot tall rack with 6 big magnetic platters on it. An arm would pick up one of the platters, move it to the reader, read it, then put it back. Suprisingly they had about 180ms access time to them! No telling how much those went for back then, but hey, it beats using punch cards for storage!
