How many computers do you have WORKING?

[stevejohnson1958]

Two desktops and one notebook.

Three desktops and one notebook.  However, one or two of the desktops are probably going to the next local computer recycling drive; that will leave me with my main desktop and my notebook.  The oldest desktop was purchased way back in 1995 and has Windows 98SE (originally Win 95) on it. The next oldest is one I received from someone who wanted to get rid of it; it has an 800MHz processor and 128MB of RAM, with Win ME.  I may keep that one for awhile; I've thought of adding some memory to it and installing Linux Ubuntu on it.

Laptop, 2 x desktop and ASUS eee. The laptop and one desktop dual boot - is that 2 or 4?

[Soviet_Genius]

2 desktops, 2 laptops. One of the laptops is a 486 with Windows 3.1.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Ah....3.1.......

I will now detail all the specs I can from memory on all my working machines

Main PC, just replaced my K6-2, feels really fast:

Dell Dimension 4400
Pentium 4 1.6 Ghz
Windows XP SP3 500GB HD (partitioned 250GB C: and 250GB D:
Nvidia Geforce FX 5500OC
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
IOGear USB 2.0 card
D-Link XTreme-N Wireless Card


Older PC, my brothers using it now, at least until he gets a mac ()(oh well, at least I tried to get him into computers.

MVP3G-M Motherboard
AMD K6-2 350Mhz
80GB HD
Windows XP SP2 (I doubt he updated, so it's probably still SP2)
He's also installed all sorts of viruses and malware! I've cleaned it twice for him now, but apparently he enjoys the less wholesome entertainment on the internet (or he did, until I denied it's Mac address access to the net (lol), same with his PS3 and PSP, all denied.
ATI Radeon 9250 PCI (oh well)
Create SB Live!


Also some crappy Cyrix computer- not particularly worth mention at all.


and my two laptops too!

Toshiba Satellite 440CDX

133mhz Pentium MMX
Windows 98SE
144MB of RAM
2GB HD

IBM thinkpad 755CDV
75 Mhz Pentium (non MMX)
PC-DOS 2000 and Windows 3.1
8MB of RAM


Strangely enough, the thinkpad gets used the second most by me, aside from my main 1.6Ghz- why? Sometimes I feel like playing the original Doom executable, maybe to just run the speedruns on COMPET-N.

one desktop dual boot - is that 2 or 4?

If dual boots would count as more than one I have too many to count
However the thread is about computers, so I would say it's just one computer no matter how many OSes it has.

hopefully i'll get a laptop  and a bunch of networking cable. trying to home network here but running out of cable 

So far my main pc has the following specs
Optiplex GX150
P3 @ 1GHz
256MB DDR 1 RAM
20GB HD
Win 2k
(perfect for my robotic creations, muwhahahaha  , Lego Mindstorms)

Once i get some more mula i'll try to Upgrade my optiplex with 256MB more RAM, an external HD about 40 - 60GB (i dont need that much mem) , a P4 @ 1.4GHz, a new PCI Graphics card perhaps around 128MB of VRAM with VGA port. then i'll have a good programming and gamin machine.

Don't bother with a P4 at that speed - you'd need a new board for a start, and the earlier versions are pretty slow too.  If you see a faster P3 though, especially the S versions with the extra L2 cache, and your board supports it, grab it, they're good.
Win2K will fly with 512MB RAM though, trust me.
Enjoy.

Im proud to say, i only have 1 desktop!!!
But I will upgrade this... maybe soon???

i know about the ram, i said im adding another 256MB of ram. but i guess i'll skip on the cpu and just go with the graphics card and the ram.

[squall_01]

xp and vista are branches of windows?

[macdad-]

yea there apart of the Win NT family, so is Win 2k

[squall_01]

If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows....Thats why Bill Gates created XP and Vista.

This statement conderdicts its self.
