Out of curiosity, Who's got the slowest PC for daily use?
« on: November 29, 2005, 08:30:22 pm »
 

Not the one your company assigned to you that they won't upgrade (I use an 800Mhz desktop and a 1.33Ghz laptop for work) but who here is still muddling through with a P-II or less as their own, personal home computer?

?

Got a 533ish Presario with XP that was given to me for working on another machine - although that is my secondary machine.

My aunt has a machine that she switches between the one I'm currently typing on (this one isn't anywhere close to being the slowest...but the other).  That one is a 100 mhz computer with 80 mb of RAM.

Does she win the prize?

How about my HP 33S scientific programmable calculator?  It's run by a CPU (by Sunplus) that I think is 5 MHz and is actually a "computer" is still use and use often... and I guess the older ones don't count here.

A Texas Instruments Extensa Laptop.  Pentium (nuthin... just pentium) 100 with 128 MB of ram and a 5 GB hard drive.  It's slower than drying paint.

How about this... I've still got a working Amiga 500, PAL version running at 7.09 MHz...  I can't say I've used it lately, but many a drunken smoke filled night was had a few years back to two Networked Amigas with dual player Stunt Car Racer on them...

If I had somewhere to set it up(and the wife wouldn't kill me), I'd drag out my Commodore 128 just to play games on every day!
Sure do miss those old 8-bit games..... :(

I tried those AD&D games...they stunk!!!

I don't know how you stood those.  I tried those old FR games, and didn't really care for them.

I did find one old aD&D game I enjoyed however...called Dungeon Hack.

You got to understand, Those old games where the Top of the line when we where just kids. Yeah that long ago, I still remember Playing the Legendary games like Bards Tale, Dragon Wars, Telengard, Bloodwych on my C-64 and Amiga 500 also. Of course There no where up to spec these days, But C'mon , the first time you went into the mines in Secret of the Silver Blades, Well IT was a blast.

If this is your regular, daily-use computer you win the prize.  PM me & I'll send you your free P-III upgrade.

Yes folks, this was all just a ruse to get rid of an extra computer that needs a home.

Sorry, laptops are still in demand.  I'm having a hard time giving away P-III Desktops, but everybody wants a laptop....
