I guess I’m curious about what everyones using.I have a fairly new Dell Dimension I’m pleased with. I had an Acer Aspire for 5 or 6 years. Yuck. No more Acers for me. Also which browser do you prefer? I’m running Netscape 4.7
I’m using a 2 year old Quantum. (a pentium 200mmx). Web browsing with Internet Explorer 5.5
Computer? You have a computer?
Seriously, my computer is homemade. My hubby is the ultimate computer geek. No store-bought computers for him. He buys all the hardware at computer shows and puts them together himself. The nice part about it is that if he feels like upgrading the hard drive to something faster, all he has to do is buy a new one and put it in and not worry about voiding any warranty. The bad part about it is that if it breaks, he has to fix it himself.
According to the hubby, I have a K62 400 mhz motherboard with 128 megs of ram, 16 meg Matrox G200 video card, Diamond Voodoo II 12 meg 3D accelerator video card, Aureal 3D sound card, 6.3 gig Seagate hard drive, 44x CD-rom drive, Netgear 10-100 network card, a cheap Rockwell V90 isa modem, and an old 15 inch Goldstar monitor that I’m looking to replace soon.
Now that is just my personal computer. My hubby has his own personal computer plus a Linux server and a new laptop computer that he just got a couple of weeks ago.
WOW
This is what I’ve got:
P2 266
64MB SDRAM
15.8 GB HDD
ASUS P2L97 motherboard
32X CDROM
32MB Creative Labs TNT2
12MB Diamond Monster 3D II
Sound Blaster 16
USRobotics 56k modem
I have a Dell “WebPC Blast”. I don’t remember what’s in it, but I like it a bunch. And it’s shiny and black and pretty. 
I also have a home built system(well actually 3). I wanted a dual processing system, and the premium that most companies put on building them puts the price over $5000, when I can build it myself for 3000.
not to brag, but I luuuuv my computer
dual celeron 300 overclocked to 450.
91 gigs hard drive space.

I have an IBM Aptiva. 6 gig HD, 334 mhz. 64 megs ram. I use IE5. Nothing too spactacular, but it does the job.
Wolfman, out of curiousity, why do you have 91 gigs of hard drive space? I have had my PC for almost 2 years and I have yet to get mine half full. I dare say, you will NEVER get that baby full! :D:D
I mock you and your tiny machines.
750 mhz Athlon, K7x-133 board
256 meg ram (down from 1.2 gig, sold during RAM crunch)
30 odd gig HD
32 meg Erazor III w/ Erazor LCD 3-d goggles

Mwahahaha
wolfman, buddy, I can respect your rig, that’s some good shit, but get yo’ ass into a Athlon, with a better video card.

AMDk6 450 mHz
92m memory
10 Gig HD
1 44 speed CD
1 recordable Acer CD
USB Microsoft USB IntelliEye wheel mouse. Cool. Laser, no mouse pad.
Internet connection is US Robotics 56k external on a 100 Mhz
Pentium running Win 98 and internet sharing. 2-4 PCs on the LAN depending on who is home and what’s going on.
Which one? By year of birth:
-
1984ish Tandy Color Computer I (F board) w/32k (actually 64k, but it’s a long and stupid bit of Radio Shack history), 720k & 360k floppies. I theoretically could surf with a CoCo3, but sometimes theories are best left to nuts to fulfill. ($1)
-
Toshiba T1100 Plus laptop. 8086, 640k, (2) 720k floppies, no hard drive, no backlight, endless battery life and a very nice keyboard. It runs Wordstar 5 and makes a good e-book. ($10)
-
Assemblage: IBM motherboard w/PI-80 & 32MB, 420mb WD hard drive drive, and all the usual stuff for a computer that’s several years old. Being donated to some kids in Africa who are too good for less than Pentium machines they can’t surf with. Back in MY day we were HAPPY to have…
Then a couple of fairly current ones with uninteresting specs. You know, appliances.
Next release of Microsoft Office should fill that up. But Wordstar 5 can fit on a bootable 720k floppie and can do most of what Word does. Why, back in MY day…
Well If your going to get cocky Homer…
800 mhz
256 ram
8x4x32 cd-rw
12x dvd
45gb hd
19" monitor
56k modem installed(I use a cable modem,I had it installed for just in case)
My 'puter:
iMac DV Special Edition (Graphite)
400 MHz G3 PowerPC processor
192MB RAM (there was a free 64MB RAM offer when I bought it)
13 GB EIDE hard drive
DVD-ROM
Mac OS 9
I’m using Communicator 4.6.
Cheezit, hehe sadly I need more.(once those 60Gb drive hit 7200 rpm affordably I’m there) I currently have partitions for 95,98,nt4.0,2000, millenium, and linux(not that I use many of them, I’m just to stubborn to delete any of them. The other thing is I use it to capture and edit video, which eats up drive space real fast, at a high quality I still have a problem putting out a continuous video more than 15 min in length.
Homer, just talk some of the mobo makers into making something that can stablely handle two over-clocked Athlons and I’ll be happy to upgrade to a dual Ghz system drool, also its hard to find a dual monitor capable video card system that doesn’t take up extra slots, and is affordable.
I visit here on more than one machine. If I visit during the working day (except Friday afternoon) it’s:
Dual CPU (SuperMicro) MB w/850 MHz PIII Xeon
1 Gb RAM
Colorgraphic Evolution IV graphics card
3 x 21" Viewsonic monitors
NT 4.0 (SP 6)
2 x 37 Gb SCSI HD
CD
CDRW
Exabyte 8 mm tape
'net connection via always on Ethernet (100 mbit)
If at my own office it’s either:
450 MHz PIII
384 Mb RAM
Colorgraphic Evolution video card
3 x 19" (I can’t remember what brand - they’re trinitrons) monitors
or
200 MHz Pentium Pro
128 MHz RAM
21" Viewsonic
And if I’m at home (now) it’s:
Gateway 233 MHz PII
96 Mb RAM
17" monitor
At work, with the always on (I’m guessing) DSL connection over the Ethernet, it is a lot faster. All of the other connections are dial ups, and I really don’t notice much difference. I could, but I don’t often, visit here during the working day.
I’m guessing that all of y’all who are actually reading this plate full o’specs have realized my typo above - 2nd office machine has 128 megabytes of RAM (not 128 MHz RAM), of unknown speed.
Blue and White G3
350 MHz PowerPC processor
192 MB RAM
6 GB Ultra ATA
DVD-ROM
17" Apple Studio Display
Mac OS 9
I love my G3, but it’s over a year old and I’ve got my eyes on the cube.
