Whats your Computer?

[kawaiipikachu]

I created this threadso we know what computer systems you all have including system specs

Here's my 3 Garage Sale Bargains all $5 each.

1.HP Pavilion @566MHz
256MB Ram upgraded from 160MB but its labe sujest it had 64MB to start of with .
Onboard graphics with no slot for upgrades .
DVD burner from a Dead Computer found around the corner .
2 Harddrives 10GB it came with & a 80GB salvaged from a dead Set Top Box.
Network card so once i get a cable i shall use it to browse the web .
Win 98 SE as its OS .
its possibly be a 10 yeal old system but it still works .
It also have bonus Personal Info for which i kindly deleted .

2.macintosh Performa 5400 Directors Edition .
180MHz CPU
56MB RAM
plus as it is a Directors edition is black & it also have a TV card & a Video In card .
editbroke down couldn't fix so now I dont have it anymore.

3.Toshiba Satalite .
Its an old beast & i haven't figured out much of its specs .
50MHz CPU
it has 8MB RAM plus its so old that it doesn't have a CD Drive .
Currently im tring to figure out on transferring files between the it & the desktop via parallel cable so i can use it as a phto frame .

4.Amiga 500
7.05 MHz proccessor
1MB RAM
Amiga OS 1.3
comes with a 1084 PAL monitor & an after market external floppy drive plus Gen Lock

5.Commodore 64C
CPU 0.985
64KB of RAM
SID 6581 sound chip
Also came with a 1541 & 1571 floppy drives
All found on the side of the road ready to be picked up as Hard Rubbish just needs a video lead.

6.Acer Aspire B300
Window 98 second edition
Intel Pentium 4 1.8 GHz
384MB of RAM
onboard graphics but has a slot for an AGP card
20GB HDD but i might swap that with pavi's(no1 on this list) 80 GB hddI let Pavi have the 20GB.

It was $5 for spare parts at a garage sale for the fact it was not turning on but the problem was the
power button was stuck so Dad & i together freed the stuck piece & just let it hand loose.

IT also had Win XP installed but but the looks of it when we plug the Harddrive into another computer & it looks like they tried to remove personal details before selling but during the process broke the OS installation.
It,s a shame really maybe the next Garage sale would sell XP for $5 maybe even windows 7

Nice idea with the garage sale bargains.

I've quite many times thought of buying a cheap bargain retro computer with WIN98 or something for retro PC games.

Fun thread.
This is what is actually still in my room (working or not):

Apple iMac Intel Core [email protected]
MacOSX 10.5.8 (Leopard) / Windows XP
21" screen
1 GB ram
HDD 250GB (+500 GB ext.)

HDD (formerly) 30GB
(currently not working: missing HDD)

Apple iBook PPC G3@366 MHz
MacOS 8.6
12" screen
160 MB ram (originally 32MB)
HDD 3.2 GB

Amiga 1200 Motorola [email protected] MHz
AGA chipset
2MB ram (or maybe even 4? I recall I caould have upgraded it)
HDD...can't remember the size, though it seems not to work anymore.

Commodore 64 MOS Technology 6510/[email protected]
Commodore 1541 FDD
Commodore 1530 Datassette

PC Compatible AMD Athlon@1GHz
Windows 98
288 (I guess) MB ram
The graphic card is an NVidia GeForce5 I think. Never really exploited: it was an AGP, but my motherboard had a 33MHZ bus. It could probably have better performaces in the order of 1 to 4....
- This machine has some problems: it used to shut itself down with no apparent reason (my idea is that some vent may have failed and the shutdown is a security measure...yes, I never checked)

* * * * * * * * *

About past machines I had, I recall with affection my first ever PC ([email protected]/10MHz + CGA) and the one from the '90s when gaming on PC was starting to kick in (486@100MHz).
I don't remember what I did of them.

I added an Acer aspire to my above list but it still got some work to do before it replaces Pavi as i need to find the right drivers & without clues & Win 98 it would be a bit difficult.

They probably won't. Typically, hardware only goes down a little bit in price before being completely phased out for new technology. Your best bet is to wait for the next family of Intel processors and buy something mid-range that would have similar performance to today's i7's but for a much cheaper price than they are being sold at today. Do note also, that an i7 also requires a compatible motherboard, and it is useless for gaming without a comparably powerful graphics card.
