Ah yes the glory of being a poor student :DL
Btw the athlon xp 1700 is 1.4 ghz (its supposed to equal a 1.7 Pentium though) |
I have a Celeron 3ghz machine with an old 7300 AGP card in it 40 gig HD, 2 gig of ram just put an old dvd drive into it to play SH3 on it.

Du core 3.2ghz
3gigs ram 7800GTX 256 ram 250gig hd onboard sound card Dual install OS Winxp / Vista Ultimate Starting to have trouble with latest games, but im not in a hurry to upgrade she does ok with the games i play I don't go out there and grab every new game that comes out like i use too with Fallout 3 being the last new game. I'm moving myself away from the reason that to be up there with all the latest games you practically have to upgrade your pc every 6months or so. I aim to do my next major upgrade in 3 or 4 yrs from now. Or if SH5 come outs before then i most likely will upgrade if have too :) Favourite PC is an older type we use mainly to browse the internet when main one is in use & play old games like Homeworld, SH2, Rune: Halls of Vahalla <--- excellent lan/internet game. 2.2ghz Celeron! 256 ram, GF6200 256 gfx onboard sound card. :rock:I dont know why, its a crappy pc but ive taken a liking to it :roll: |
Meh, I could win this easily but it's a Triggers Broom sort of thing.;)

I will check when I get home, but I may at least tie with Neal as I got my current system about the time I joined subsim. :D

My only machine since 2002. (Not entirely sure of the year).
Athlon XP 1800+ (runs at 1.5 GHz). 512 Mb ram (upgraded to 1 Gig a few years ago). 75 GB 7200 rpm HD (I've added another old 25 Gig I had laying around). Radeon 9800Pro 256Mb (Not the original AGP card. I forget what it was. Something Nvidia). Onboard Sound Windows 2000 Professional. Over the years I've taken steps to keep this system clear of any bloat, and it still runs exceptionally well. (Only 23 proccesses running when computer is idle, 3 of those are system watchdogs). It can run SH3 + GWX, IL2 Pacific Fighters, BOBII, Rome TW with Europa Barbarorum. Also, suprisingly to me, It ran SH4 and FEAR without any real problems. Its a good machine. |
I think I may have you beat. Mine is a homebuilt, as all of mine have been since my Commodore 64 days. I cannot find my receipts to determine the exact date...but the current system I have (and have had) started running with Win98 around 1999-2000. As I recall, I put it together when DDR memory was first coming out. It has a 2.0 Gig processor, maxed out at 2 Gig of memory and the original hard drive is only 32 Gig. I have replaced the power supply once since then, and upgraded the OS to Win XP Pro. It was 'top of the line' with a fast 4x AGP slot. I can actually run some of the newer games because my kids for Xmas bought me a wierd AGP card from ATI that actually has more memory now then the entire computer had when I put it together. (I started the computer out at 256meg). I had to replace the MOBO once but it was so long ago now I don't remember.
The case receipt goes back to December 1999. I want a new one so bad...but since most of what I plan is online and I can run SH3 and SH4 just fine with it, my wife just won't let me. |
Somehow, I've lost interest in this thread :O:

Still currently running a 2003 dell 2.8 ht. Win xp home. Upgraded ddr ram and agp vid card only. Am very lucky this was a top of the line machine in it's day. Bought it back when money (or lack of it) wasn't so much of an issue! Won't handle much in the way of new stuff, but so what. With the upgrade to 2gigs of ram and the ati 1650pro it still cuts through SH3 like hot butter and after all, that's all that really matters.
