I ahve 1 DOS PC and 1 regular gaming PC. My Dos PC is a pentium 1, 133MHz, 32MB RAM, Sound blaster pro :P. How i love that machine.

My normal PC is geeting kinda old for these day's games. But i can still play C&C3 and Oblivion. P4 2.6 GHz. 1 gig ram, ATI raedon 9600 pro video card. 160 Gig Harddisk.

That's pretty much my gaming setup.

I have a 286 computer that first helped me get into DOS games, however, I'm not sure of the specs, though it has a 3 1/2" floppy drive as well as a 5 1/4" one.

My second oldest PC is a Packard Bell computer (not sure of the model, and don't really care to look). Windows 98, 300 MHz processor, 32 MBs of RAM, 3 GB HDD, a 3 1/2" floppy drive + a CD-ROM drive, and that's all I'm really sure of.

I have another PC that's a little newer; a Hewlett Packard Pavilion 6735 with Windows 98 SE (originally came with Windows ME), 633 MHz Intel Celeron processor, 63 MBs of SDRAM PC-133, 11 MB video card, 13.5 GB HDD, and 3 1/2" floppy drive that ceases to read disks at all + a CD-ROM drive.

My newest PC; A Gateway GT4016 with Windows XP Professional SP2, AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.1 GHz processor, 896 MB of DDRAM, nVIDA GeForce 6100 GPU (not exactly sure of the exact numbers), 195.7 GB HDD, a DVD+RW/CD+RW disk drive, and a 3-in-1 media drive that just doesn't work.

Indeed, a nice PC and a nice laptop too.

One question.
Why no DVD writer in the PC ? Usually they are faster and more reliable than those laptop inbuild ones.
