So I hooked up my old desktop

And apparently despite the tons of dust in it it still works! It's an HP pavilion 8765C, and runs Windows ME. I actually managed to get it hooked up to my internet connection, and it can't download anything because everything's outdated! Well, at least it gives my internet when this computer's occupied. All I need is a new keyboard and mouse, I can't find one! I have to use the ones on this computer if i use it.

This is a picture of it.


I know, old, right?

WOW, that is old. Believe it or not,I still have an old compaq 5410US Series 5000 that I got back in like 2000 and I still use every now and then, and it works pretty good. And I know what you mean about upgrades,lol! But the primary one I use is one I built from the ground up.

You might wish to upgrade to 2000 SP4, Atleast its somewhat protected against viri.

Nah, like I give a poop about the thing. It's not like it has anything important stored in it, just a bunch of old little kid games, even though pocket tanks is always fun to play.

whats the hard drive on that? 6 Gb

45

We had a Pentium 100mhz PC run until 2005ish when the power supply gave out. Hardrive was like 680mb.

^^ 45 Gb? Thats amazing for something so old

Yeah, and it can actually connect to High Speed internet.

Dang, my 2002 dell couldn't even connect to high speed internet

Ok, screw it, here are the specs I read from the still unpeeled labels on the PC.

AMD Athlon 900 MHz processor
128mb SDRAM memory
45GB ultra DMA hard drive
12x max speed DVD ROM
HP winter plus CD-RW

It also says that it is the #1 best selling home PC in retail in 1999.

[gouldy]

128mb RAM? It's amusing to think that was probably top of the range when you bought it.

This has insipred me to think about hooking up my old desktop, that was of a similar calibre to yours.... but, oh wait yeah, I lobbed it out the window

WOW,lol! We might have a contest to see who still owns the oldest computer! Now what you have is OLD,lol! Anybody else wanna contribute???

I have an old Gateway that runs ME that doesn't have internet now...but that is the computer I use RCT2 on because my Vista laptop doesn't run RCT2...although my Dell laptop might run it but that's getting fixed and I've never tried it. I can get specs later on it. LOL wow I thought I was the only one with an old desktop like that but I guess not! LOL

I still have a Pentium MMX somewhere here in a closet. Gonna fire it up soon.

CPU 166 mhz
16mb ram
800 mb hard drive
No USB ports.
4X CD rom Drive
It's still got those gigantic ISA slots.

Edit: Windows 95 bitches.

I have an old Macintosh Color Classic II, Specs:

Motorola 68030 @ 33 MHz
4MB RAM
200 MB Harddrive
9" build-in screen @ 512 x 384
