I think I beat you or about tied, we have almost the same processor, you have 4x as big a video card and more memory and hard disk space.

You said no sarcasm and you did it yourself...

Have you got any floppy readers?

[daangelo29]

If you think that's crap, here's mine:

Processor: Intel Pentium something (290MHz or more or less)

Current Memory: 32 MB

Maximum Memory: 64 MB

No. of Hard Drives: 1

Hard Disk Capacity: 550 MB or more or less

Video: A granny onboard graphics crap; Even dxdiag can't detect it (I get a jumbled 78-character name -- 3483uaenfae380rhj38jp3d....)

Audio: Another onboard crap

Connectivity: None

Expansion Slot(s): None

Operating System: Windows 98 SE

DirectX Version: DirectX 8.1 (I think)

Other hardware: No USB ports. 1 floppy disk drive (the large floppy disk thing). No CD-ROM drive.

EDIT: Had to change it. When I posted some of the specs, I was thinking of my Compaq PC and the other trash PC I used to have (whose motherboard got fried up because a humongous c**kroach caused a clog or blockage in the cooling system lol).

[RG]

DirectX Version: Dunno.

Use Run: dxdiag

[daangelo29]

Use Run: dxdiag

Just checked it. It's DirectX 8.1. Well at least it's good...I think.

Just checked the rest of the Diagnostic Tool. My PC is crappier than I thought. See the corrections I made above.

[raybob]

You said no sarcasm and you did it yourself...

Oops... Sorry

[raybob]

Have you got any floppy readers?

I did, but I took it out because I didn't need it and wanted space for another CD Drive

Is that your secondary computer? Cause, I think you won....

My old computer from 1999 was almost as bad....

If I remember:

AS I SAID BEFORE: Current Memory: Single Channel 512MB DDR @ 200MHz

However, depending on the program/ diagnostic tool I use, I often come up with 448MB RAM, so I don't know, but I can tell you it feels like the 448 might even be too high....

I own iPod touch with only 16GB, and I still beat his and yours PC's HDD And look! my iPods 128MB memory is equal to Angeleo's one...

[K.I.T.T.]

heh. i lose this contest XD

[daangelo29]

The computer I mentioned is just among my secondary computers. I have about 3 secondary computers -- 1 laptop (Toshiba; my 2nd crappiest computer); 1 Windows XP rig (Compaq; average computer specs); and the one I've mentioned, my Windows 98 SE rig (my crappiest computer).

It's the oldest computer we have here. I was like 6 or 7 years old as far as I can remember when I first used this thing lol. It ain't plugged in and I don't use it much anymore but it still works. The PC belongs to a generation of computers that don't have PCI Express slots, which is the most hardest to fix due to having a totally different motherboard compared to the customizable one we have today. My cousin also happen to have a computer from the same generation, but hers is way better than mine (it's an Windows XP rig that can run Counter-Strike in an acceptable frame rate, compared to mine).

The only use of this computer is playing old games that I can't play in the new current-generation rigs like Tomb Raider, Doom, Xargon and a very old and simple Mario game.
