I was just wondering what all of you are running.

I've got a 1 Ghz Athlon, MSI mb, 512ram, 30G HD dualing XP pro and ME.  (I would've dualed with 98, but I couldn't find my cd.  Me is just for FF7 now, 8 when I get it).  Oh, also my AGP Geforce2 MX with 64 megs.
 
900 Meg Athlon, A-Bit KT7-RAID Mobo (soon to be an EPoX EP-8KHA+), 384 Megs of PC133 SDRAM (soon to be 512 Megs of PC2600 DDR RAM), Asus V7700 GeForce 2 GTS 32 MEG DDR, and an SBLive! (not the Dolby Digital 5.1 :sad: ), and a *coughfifteengigcough* hard drive.  (Please don't make fun of my small hard drive . . .).  Dualing Win2K and Win98 (though I only use 98 for FF7.)

You won't have to worry about running FF8 in ME, XP should run it just fine (at least 2K does.)  Just make sure you have DirectX 8.0 and the latest Detenator drivers for you GeForce.

---Edit---

bah!  Spelling error.

Well, I've been *living* in a P3 500 box, 128mb ram, intel integrated video and a 6.4g hd with Linux (mandrake) since I'm beginning to really realize what pure sh*t windows 98 is.  

My windows 98 box is an athlon 700 slot a, 384mb ram, 20gig hd, diamond viper 2 32mb video, cdrw (12x8x32), dvd, 17 inch monitor.

Currently looking to do a mb/proc/vc upgrade, prolly with an athlon xp proc, not too sure about the mb yet, and a gf2 video card.
 
Now, I posted the above and I'm *pretty* sure I was logged in.  *hmph* :mad:
 
I'm running a self-built system in desperate need of upgrading.

Celeron 300a running @ 450
ABit BH6 Motherboard
192megs DIMM RAM
7gig C: HD
30gig D: HD
Creative Labs Annilator2 32meg (RIVA GeForce2 card)
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! (Original full version, not value)
Happauge WinTV TV Tuner card (OLD!)
Bocca 33.6 Modem
DFE-530TX+ Network Card (Currenly removed due to system conflict)
Creative Labs Voodoo2 12meg (have to install)
Creative Labs Dxr2 DVD decoding board (have to install)
Black Dell keyboard
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer (The $50 optic mouse)
Sony Multiscane E210 Monitor

That what I currently have. I'm hoping to upgrade to about 1gHz soon...

So here is one special ... my pc:
P200mmx
32 ram
15gb hdd
14" monitor
voodoo 2 12mb
some sbpro clone
with win95, and RedHat on some forgotten partition
and manli netcard 2k

ok, now stop laughin'

But my friend just recently bought P4 1.5ghz, and im thinking of buying something similar to that.
 
My comp?

Commodore64
Cpu           : M6510 - 1 Mhz
Ram           : 64Kbytes
Sound Chipset : SID
Hd            : wha? I got a floppy and a cassette deck :grin:

ohh.. I got one of those new PC's too..  :wink: nothing fancy though..
 
Hey, that reminds me of the 'How old is everyone here?' Topic...

I've got a good old Amiga, too. Specs:

Commodore Amiga 600
512 KB RAM
68000 Processor (7 MHz)
720 KB Disk drive

That's all I remember...

 - Alhexx
 
Mines an Acorn Electron  :sad: I loved it like nothing else :sad:

1.79 MHz
32 KB ROM
Good ol' cassettes that take 10 minutes to load a game.
 
mirex-> mines almost as bad

Celeron 400Mhz 200MHz FSB
Abit K6-V Raid (or something)
256MB PC-133 SDRAM
12.7 GB and 17.1 GB ATA Hard Drives
23" Monitor (Oh Hell Yes)
Voodoo 3 2000 AGP
SB Live! Value
HP 4x4x24 Internal CD-RW Drive
Samsung 3.5" Floppy Drive
Pinnacle Studio DC-10 Plus
DiamondMax 56k Fax Modem
10/100 Ethernet Adapter (Generic)
Espon Perfection 640U
HP Deskjet 682C
Windoze 98 Second Edition
 
I hear ya, Mirex.  I gots one similar, but I'm a little better off than you are in some areas.  This one's self-built, and also is in desperate need of an upgrade.  Laugh if you want; my friends at school are constantly laughing at the specs anyway.

Specs:
Pentium-1 233Mhz MMX processor
48megs of RAM (32megs EDO; 16 megs Regular DRAM)
Asus VX97 motherboard
Linksys Network card (For DSL-splitting purposes :smile:)
13 gig hard drive; plus a 540 meg drive for archiving stuff and to store my MIDI collection.
24X CD-ROM Drive (DMA is enabled, of course!)
(GamePad)PC Propad 4

Now for the good stuff on the system:
3DFX Voodoo3 2000 PCI; 16meg
Sound Blaster AWE 64 (512kb RAM setup)
Also running a Maxi Sound Fortissimo (XG Hardware card with the newer YMF744 Chipset) on the same system!
Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Joystick.

And that's all I can remember off the top of my head.  Interestingly, while the Fortissimo box claims that the card has hardware DLS, it doesn't under Windows 98.  However, the card does something to allow DLS SoftSynths to run FF8's music with no performance hit :grin:

im trying to get about 1000 dollars to build a DDR system with a gig or RAM and a Radeon 8500
 
I think we all know where the names for all those computers came from :wink:

I don't *own* many of the computers in my house (there are 3 other people living here..) but since the servers are kind of composite beasts anyway (we all contributed something) I guess I can list them too....

Anyhoo:

Ficedula (my PC, duh!)
----------------------
K6II 500Mhz
192MB SDRAM
Radeon VE 32MB DDR
Unbranded 15" monitor
Iiyama 17" monitor (both running off the Radeon .. hoohah!)
Chic optic mouse
MS Internet Pro USB keyboard
SB Live (yeah!)
Realtek 8139 network card
Mirovideo DC30 video capture card
20GB Seagate disk
Sony 12X/40X regionless DVD drive
Iomega Zip650 CDRW
Internal Zip100 drive (plus a normal floppy, but who cares about that...)
Front speakers: Arowana satellites & subwoofer
Rear speakers: Zyteks
Soulmate MP3 docking station

Win98SE
(Oh, we're listing things connected to 'em as well? OK...)
LG PAL/NTSC VCR
Grundy cassette deck
Digital microphone


Hal2k (main server ... internet sharing, file server, web server, network server, TV server [really!], voicemail, entertainment system ... you name it)
-------------
PIII 500MHz
256MB SDRAM
6GB Seagate drive
60GB removable racked Maxtor drive
LS120 drive
Realtek network card
HCF modem
WinTV card
32MB TNT2 with TV output (for DivX playback on the big TV ... bwhaha!)
ADSL modem (yeah, baby!)
PCI128 soundcard (suxors, but hey...)

Win2K advanced server
Goes into our big TV for uber-DivX/DVD/gaming experience, yeah :wink:
I think the PSX might be *somehow* connected to this as well ... hard to tell, really, with all the cables in the living room :wink:


Brian (spare server ... we're gonna set this up as a Linux box for the house, probably)
-----------------
K6II 450Mhz
128MB SDRAM
1.7GB hard disk (ouch) (though we do have a spare 4GB disk *somewhere*...)
Creative 24X CDROM
SB16 soundcard (yes! the original ISA one that was half a mile long!)
Dodgy who-knows-what-it-is network card
SiS video card

WinXP currently ... soon to be Linux, perhaps.


Jesus (belongs to another of the guys in our house...)
-----------------------
Athlon 700Mhz
192MB SDRAM
40GB hard disk
SB Live!
100/10 network card
24X CDROM
Geforce 32MB (I think)

Win2K Pro

Don't know the details to the other two computers (Omoikane and Dave) in the house offhand ... we've got parts for at least another computer scattered around, but since there's no need we haven't put those back together yet.

I really need to upgrade my CPU/MB but that's such a costly upgrade, I'm putting it off as long as possible...
