"We Need More Hardware Posts!"

Well, me and Phil both reckon we need more hardware posts. So, in a desperate attempt to get more in here, I racked my brains and came up with a fantastic idea! Sadly, United scored and i was so busy celebrating I forgot. So instead, what specs are your PC?

What? Its hardware isnt it?

Main Workstation:

Athlon 1 Ghz (soon to be P4 1.8)
256meg ram
27gb hdd
32meg vipper 770 graphics card
SB live value
SMC net card
ADSL (discusting looking) modem

Main server:

Celeron 700
256meg ram
30gb hdd
onboard graphics and sound
Intel net card

Second (linux) server:

Celeron 300
64meg ram
6gb hard disk
kingston net card

Second Workstation

PIII 550
64meg ram
10gb hdd
onboard sound and graphics
kinston net card

The Computer I am using to write this message is the big Desktop one downstairs which is what we use for Web Browsing.

And it is:

P3 500mghz
128mb RAM
20gb Hard Drive.
Some naff Graphics Card that can't play Black & White
Sound Blaster Live! sound Card
56K Modem

But the one I use for playing games and Online Gaming is:

p3 700mghz
256mb RAM
40gb Hard Drive
ADSL Modem
Geforce 2
Sound Blaster Live!

Heh, I'm annoyed at my new hardware right now, can't get the right bios updates...or at least, can't apply them. Award flash evilness..

Andi, some of don't have a choice, ya'know.

No I see why no one ever posts about hardware, you all run bags of crap! Dont any of you care??? For me running a good PC is a must!! The comps at school have been driving me mad all week after only using mine and the ones at work for two weeks.

333mhz AMD K-6 2
Voodoo 5
128mb 100mhz SDRAM
Packard Bell MediaManager motherboard
Some crappy AudioDrive onboard soundcard
The World's Most Unreliable Floppy Drive
A p***-poor Winmodem (Rockwell HCF)
2 HDDs totally around 8 gigs
Windoze 98 and Linux Mandrake 7.2
An optical mouse (my favourite part of the whole PC)

My 3DMark2001 score was a massive 350 on default. Yes, you may point and laugh.

hhmm, ok, heres mine.

150Mhz p1
3.2Gb hdd
32mb Edo ram
128mb Sdram
32mb creative soundcard
14" viewable monitor
4mb video(no 3d)
12x creative cdrom.
56k modem

A P133 laptop, with 32 megs ram.

It has nothing! It doesnt have a CD drive! It struggles to run Windows 95, and you can make a cup of tea before Fireworks has loaded....

I've got another laptop, but it needs a new power supply (which I have posted about but noone can help), so I have to run this fossil until I get it sorted.
