My slow âss system

[Wondershaft]

Okay guys, The boys with the Packard Bells beat me, but this computer is still in use

Gateway 2000
Pentium 60
8 MB RAM
ATI MACH32 2MB PCI
730 MB HD
15" Monitor

Oh the memories. I can still remember being the only kid on the block who could play Quake. Not to mention the whole Floating Point problem with those original Pentiums. Ahh the good old days.

Born in the late 80's @ $5000 !!!

man, i remember those days... playing Altered Beast with adlib sound... My computer was the bad-*** of the block back then! But, damn, these older non-Microsoft era computers are built like tanks! This system has honestly seen many deaths of younger computers... the only one to have survived my hands on learning!

looking at all u guys' systems, that reminds me that I am OLD now :-)

my first computer (still working) is the Apple II with 48KB RAM, that I've upgrade and add on the extra 16KB RAM to make it a super 64KB machine, and I've played most of the games right back at that time (games like pac man, donkey kong and my no.1 lover load runner), and now finally I've own a much more powerful machine (compared to the old one - only a duron 800), and I hardly played any games (at least not the 3D type),
isn't that amazing ... :-(

I remember suddenly having lots of credit and going to Sears, of all places!!, and buying a Packard Bell System that cost over $3000.00 and I thought I had really entered the digital age with a 486DX 50MHz! and this was at the end of the DX product cycle. They saw me coming! Sold it 2 years later for $850 and considered myself lucky. It was my first internet machine so it served some purpose.
Cheers,
Joe

Darrin Van Deman, that system of yours could be worth a lot of money. Someone who knows my mate's dad had a 8086 and he got about £5000 for it (about $7000??)

I think the CPU is the bit collectors are after as they are so rare nowadays.
