Contest: Who has the shittiest computer?

[Jorkapp]

As I speak, my Athlon based motherboard is probably sitting in some repair room at its manufacturer, and probably won't be back in my hands for another month at least. I'm pretty pissed that I'm on some shite back-up computer barely capable of multiplayer Half-Life. So, to alleviate the pain, I decided to see if anyone possibly has a shittier computer than mine.

Post any systems you have. Please state if it is a primary system or a secondary system.

Here goes:

Primary System
Intel Celeron 500MHz
320MB of PC100 SDRAM
3dfx Voodoo3 2000 16MB
2x 8GB harddrives
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

I get about 30fps in single player, 20 in multiplayer running at 1024x768.

Just for show:

Secondary System
Intel Pentium 100MHz (No MMX even!)
32MB of 72-Pin RAM
ATI Rage IIc+DVD 4MB
1x 1.6GB harddrive
Dos 6.22 and Windows 3.1

I get about 10fps in that shite 3D Flowerbox screensaver. I mostly use this system for Computer-Science QBasic projects.

Showcasing what I would have: :|

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.7GHz)
320MB of PC100 SDRAM
nVidia GeForce2MX 64MB
2x 8GB Harddrives
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

About 40 or 50fps in both Single/Multiplayer Half-Life. :E

Gentlemen, start your engines!

[h4vvok]

In this contest you lose, you are a loser with a monster of a machine.

 

[TheHitman5]

*points to sig*

 

[ShinRa]

In all seriousness though. I did have a 486, i still have it in my closet....wonder if it still works.

 

[B.Calhoun]

dont mention seriousness on a thread like this guinny, lol

and hitman ur avatar is funny shit.

 

[The Mullinator]

Its belongs to my Dad and I don't believe it works anymore but its a computer with I believe 32kb of RAM, no hard drive because it used boot disks, and a black and green monitor. I can't remember the clock speed but it was definately alot lower than a 486.

 

[lePobz]

I have a spectrum 128k somewhere around, that probably makes me the winner.

got a 800mhz celeron laptop(512mb/sis845), a 500mhz pentium3(192mb/tnt2), a 1.4ghz thunderbird(512mb/gf2mx) and this, a 2.2ghz athlonXP2800+ (1024mb/9800pro).

I think some of them might win something

If I had'nt thrown my first ever PC away a few months ago, i'd definately have won. It was: -

25 mhz Intel i486 (overclocked to 50mhz with no heatsink OR fan)
8mb RAM
60mb HDD
single-speed CD drive
Cirrus Logic onboard graphics
Creative Labs Soundblaster (i think)
...oh, and a 14.4k modem I used to surf the net with in the good old days.

 

[PulpDood]

Used to have a:

64MB RAM Computer
2x 3gb HDD
SVGA Card
Some shtbox audiocard
33.6k modem external

 

[h4vvok]

I have a 386 in the garage, a 486, and an amd equivelent of a 486.

 

[jabberwock95]

Seeing as everyone else took my joke lightly, and then theres you....I'm just going to ignore you. Someone change his diaper, he's an angry little baby?

Maybe he could even drop his rattler while he's at it

Jealous people make me laugh with their interesting comments.
Did you get his diaper yet?

I think you should just stop speaking for all of us starting today, I love reading his specs. It's a pc in shining armor.

 

[<RJMC>]

in the house of my dad are a PC of the 80's I think

 

[ShadowBlade]

Im on a 3 year old AMD 1 gig, 512mb RAM and an early GeForce 3 64mb.. not dire but its not up to the likes of many of the new games coming out. (ill have a nice new one as soon as ATI get their arses in gear)

 

[ShinRa]

Yours is pretty damn sexy too.

And just 2 years ago I was running a 566mhz intel with a 10 gig harddrive and 32mb sdram soo i saved up and I think I diserve it cuz I worked hard to get this. So if you want to insult me for being proud of having this rig, your just showing jealousy that your still on your 566mhz intel because you don't save up urself.

 

[Daegon]

I have both an alphasmart and an old Texas instuments TI-9500 pwned.

^^^winner.

 

[Glo-Boy]

I have a Mac HD from 1990. I think there was like a 4 megabyte hard drive... could have been a lot less. 16 bit color, 14.4k modem... that shit ruled.

 

[Glo-Boy]

I think we can't count these really old colecos and whatnot "shitty" because they're like classics...

That would be like saying that a 1949 Ford Four Door is a piece of shit.. because it has potential to be a thing of value... But a 1986 Ford Taurus is shitty. Mint condition or not.


Oh and my other shitty computer is a
Gateway XL2000
Intel P2
400MHz Processor
128 MB RAM
STB Velocity 128 Video Card
7 Gig HD



My current computer:

Dell Dimension 8300
Intel P4 3.0 GHz
1 Gig Ram
120 Gig HD
ATI Radeon 9800 PRO
5.1 Surround

 

[Quixoticism]

Well, right to my left here is an old 250MHz 603e Macintrash with 32MB of ram. The fan on it's cpu is so loud it can be heard in rooms across the hall with the doors closed!!!

 

[wayne white]

ok all of you got at least 2 computers so you dont count,this is my ONLY one...celeron 900,pci geforce 5200,384 ram and a really crappy mobo from trigem.

lol

I was at the Smithsonian in Washington DC last October.They had a cool computer exhibit going from these big honkin 1950's computers to desktop PC's.I could only imagine how loud that 1950's puter was

It's weird to look at old stuff.

my first PC was a 233mhz 7 years ago and puters were pretty spendy back then.I bought it for $2900 and sold it 3-4 yrs ago for $250

 

[-TaNaKa-]

I think i have also one of the lowest pc's now:

AMD Athlon 900 Mghz
Gefore 4 mx440
384 mb ram

Some parts like 2-3 years old, but processor is 5(!) years old. Try to beat that

I think HL2 will run great on my computer at 1024x768 with max settings and 4xAA 16xAF. :cheese: ................... :frown:

I expect within 2-3 months my new pc:

AMD Athlon64 3200+
1024 mb ram
Ati Radeon 9800pro

Now thats better

 

[Subatomic]

100KHz Processor
8KBRAM
Floppy Drive
8" Black and Green Screen
Radeon 7000SE << Xtreem UpGr4de

 

[Rocketman9mm]

when HL first came out i was playing it on a Pentium 166mhz, 32mb ram, voodoo2 i think. that comp is long since become a dust collector though.

 

[Milo 7]

i have a

P4 3,06ghz
512mb ram
X800XT PE
etc.

but......................................it's NOT working atm ;(

[Darkknighttt]

i have the computer thats in jerry seinfelds apartment. no just kidding. i have a computer(my old one thats pentium mmx), and my other one didnt even have windows on it there was just a floppy drive and when u put them in whatever programs on it opened up.

 

[Washuu]
