~~I have a PII 400 w/ 128 MB ram (today, I'll upgrade to 256) and 8 MB video card. 3 Hard drives:A 1.5 GB, a 1.2 GB, and a 500 MB. Modem:56K Monitor type:Hitachi~~Fuck you, you 12 year old shitface.

2.0 GHz AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 512 MB DDR2 RAM, 32 MB nVidia Geforce 2 (Ignore that), 120 GB Seagate HDD, and an awesome, cheap Raidmax case with a stock power supply which will likely burn out soon. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1786784&CatId=1509

I'm supposed to be getting a 10 GB soon, so I can copy all the files on my other drives onto it, and then put a burner and DVD in

I laugh at your petty joystick. I've got a force feedback

I've got a force feedback around here somewhere too, but for most games I prefer the non force feedback. SoI listed theone I really use.

ok, i have one compute, and old parts from the upgrade.

i used to have a p3 933 mhz, w/ a dvd drive, cd burner, good ati graphics card, 19 inch screen, etc... but then, i went to Hong Kong.

i got a new motherboard, 1.8 GHz processor, 512 megs of ram, and a new hard disk drive (60gigs). i went home, installed all the parts, and then realised that i had forgotten the graphics card.

a 486 DX 50 non dx/2 is very rare.. and would make the VLB bus run at 50 mhz speeding up any hd and video card on the bus considerably (assuming they would even run that high, alot dont)

I had a cyrix 486-dx40 and it was the last processor I owned that didnt need a fan on the heatsink. Do you guys remember back when there were no fans inside your computer (except the silent PS fan)? My XP athlon heatsink/fan can be heard very clearly even with the tv running.
