Title: Your Oldest Computer
Post by: landbeforetimelover on August 24, 2008, 05:17:35 PM
What are the specs of the oldest computer you currently use?  Don't be ashamed. :p I still use this computer for old games that I want to play:

500mhz Celeron Processor
512mb ram (Originally came with 32mb.  I upgraded it.)
120gb hard drive (originally had 2gb HD.  Upgraded it.  Can't handle a larger HD.)
Dual boot with windows 98 and windows xp pro sp3 lite edition
1 front USB port at 1.1 speed
CD Burner &  a DVD-ROM drive (used to have one 16X CD-ROM drive.)
4 back USB ports running at 2.0 speed (added)
Floppy Drive :lol


I'm going to upgrade the processor to a 600mhz pretty soon.  I think that's the max it can handle.  The board still has those really old DIP switches and it still uses those really old SIMM modules.  It cost a fortune for that ram. :wow I have MUCH older computers than this, but they're just collectible and aren't used.  What about you?  What is the oldest computer that you still use?

I don't remember the specs....it was mine from 2002.  Dell.  Still kicking with the original 40gb harddive.  RAM's been upgraded and there's two more harddrives in it now.  This is the homes central computer now.
