Project Computer:

66MHz 486DX2
40MB RAM
2 Double Speed CD-ROM drives
3.5" Floppy
420 MB HD
56k Modem

Current Status: Boots up to DOS 6.22, but I'm having PCI Bus troubles, and don't know how to solve them, and the CD-ROM drives don't work, I tried replacing them, still trouble... can anyone help me here? Should I just dump the thing?

My Goal: Rebuild it, and make it Bill G. FREE!

My daily system:

Pentium III 533MHz (Overclocked to 600MHz)
192MB RAM
4x24x4x CD-Burner (About to upgrade to a 48X CD-Burner)
40x CD-ROM
30 GB HD
Intel 810 Graphics
Windows ME

Current Status: Freezes several times on a daily basis (NOT the effect of overclocking, it did that BEFORE it was overclocked). I want to make a dual-boot situation between Red Hat Linux, and Windows, but I can't get the Boot-Disk installer to see the Linux CD? Is that a badly burned CD?

School Computer:

Intel Celeron 1.3GHz
128MB RAM
48x CD-ROM drive
Intel Graphics Chip
Windows XP Home

Can you believe that my P3 blows away that Celeron any day STILL? Can't play any games on the P3, it's a bit outdated.

I NEED NEW COMPUTERS!!! Hello Apple iBook...

my computer is a 386, and thats not mghz

Intel p3 - 733mhtz
768 megs of ram
8x-4x-32x CD-RW

NVidia GeForce256 (but with the help of Mr. Soldering Iron and Mr. Extra Cooling Fan, it's now a NVidia Quadro ;-)
Two added blowholes on the side of the case
Replaced that sappy green power LED with a blue LEDs
Replaced the sappy green keyboard LEDs with blue LEDs
And 140gb of storage (120gb (note the blue keyboard leds in the background) + 20gb)

Yeah, the system is a few years old, but I've pimped it out so much I don't really feel it.

Anyone got Laptops?

133mhz pentium

2gb HD
The battery spilled acid 2 years ago, and it crashes whenever I load Word (never a good sign), so I mainly use it as paperweight, weapon of choice, and sitting mat. Hey, computers are useful even if they're broken, you know.

2 comps:

powerbook g4: 867 mhz, though it's generally snappier than my desktop for day to day operations, and for photoshop, illustrator, dvd playing, and other graphics stuff, it GREATLY exceeds my desktop in speed. I do all my work on this.

with the educational discount, it was hella cheap ;)



desktop: 2.26 ghz.

built it, so it was also hella cheap. :D

see below (accidently posted twice)

Let's see *pushes away the junk*

Families Computers
1)Packard Bell (junk) pentium 1
2)Compaq 5700N (the standard setup for it)
3)Compaq 6500N (slightly better)
4)Another Compaq, and this is the first of all of those that runs over 1 Ghz but I seldom use it (mother uses it for writing her books)
5)Apple IIe (I'm trying to fix it up *modify and use parts* but right no it's broken *movers putting a piece of re-bar through the hard drive took care of that*

AND, WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

6)Powerbook 180 (mac)

Only about 2.5 in thick!!
Proccessor Speed counted in Kilohertz!!
Memory (total) is so low that a double density floppy comes close to doubling it!!
Batteries (1 in thick, 5 in by 5 in) last a whopping 3-5 hours!!
No CD drive!!
8 color!! (not 8-bit, just 8)
phone line (not for internet, for a network or fax only)

Some of its software would be:

Word 1.0
Draw 1.0
Excel 1.0
Fair Witness 1.2
(I think word, draw and excel might only be v 0.8 on further examination)

On the upside, it seldom freezes, has a (500 word, lol) spell-check, it's fans aren't enough so you could probally cook a egg on it while you work, but it still boots up every time I need to write an english theme and unlike the other computers, I own every single last little mac man playing inch of it.:D

Technically, it's an 800 MHz eMac, but you can double the MHz rating on a Mac to get the equivalent Pentium rating.

512 megabytes of RAM.
60 gig harddrive, with a 70 gig external fantom firewire.
Internal DVD and CD BURNER, as well as an external 16x10x40 CD burner.
17 inch flat screen
16 watt built in speakers, but they're connected to my ceiling mounted large speakers.
Mac OSX 10.2.4
iLife
Photoshop
GoLive
Safari
and it's connected to my 1200/512 broadband DSL line....

It's my baby. I named it Über.

I've also got a 400 Mhz iMac named Ted and a 450 Mhz Yosemite Powertower named Yaz, the latter of which is running www.theforceteam.com among other things as my webserver.

I also operate a Linux box on a fiber optic line at my work.

I have a 1.4 GHz computer that I run 3ds max 5 on at home. At our team HQ we have like 4 computers ranging between 233 MHz with only 16 Mb to 64Mb of ram. Needless to say I'm forced to learn 3ds max at home lol :D. Next year will be the first year our team enters the animation competition so you'll probably see me posting questions on the message boards.
