The second fastest I have is my "second/beater" laptop I got off eBay for a toatl of $412 including shipping. Is also a Satellite with a 650MHZ Celeron, 320MB, 30GB and 2000 Pro.

Then I have an HP Pavilion but it's currently dead right now. It's a 533MHZ P3, 256MB, 30GB and has 98SE on it.

The computer I'm on now is a built computer with a 500MHZ AMD K-6, 256MB, 20GB and 2000 Pro.

Then there's also my oldest still running computer that's also still part of my home network as is all the above computers. It's a built 233MHZ P1, 256MB, 4.3GB with 98SE.

Here's an update

In the time since I last posted I won 3 computers that my company was auctioning off. I just took the 3 home plus two others that I got for $5 each. They upgraded many of the computers (desktops) that were in the offices. With all the old ones piling up they decided to auction them off with the procedes going to the local food bank. They were a mixed lot with different manufacturers, models, and some custom built ones. They were all functional when removed from service. They did wipe the harddrives before the auction but they included any original system driver and operating disks that came with the computers.

Here's what I won:

Intergraph TD 260 (Technical Desktop).........PII 400MHZ, 128MB, 6.6GB, and has disks for Windows NT. I won two of these computers and they have the exact same specs.

HP Brio BA200...........Celeron 433MHZ, 160MB, and has the disks for 98SE. I also won two of these, one has a 7.5GB harddrive and the other has a 4GB.

HP Brio model unknown............PII 300MHZ, 64MB, 8GB, and has the disks for 98SE.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all of them but for the fact I paid as little as $5 for some of them I'm not going to complain. While they won't support today's gaming they are more than adequate to browse the web or run Office.

I did decide to part out one of the Intergraphs and one of the HP Brios. One of each is no longer functional as I took the hard drive from one and put it in the other to have dual hard drives and more space. I also did the same thing with the memory sticks.
