My dad's desktop (that everyone now ignores and just uses to store files/use itunes), I don't know the exact models of processor/motherboard...
Pentium 4 3.4Ghz (Dual Core)
2.00 GB RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 [b]AGP[/b]
Two 140GB (at least after formatting) WD 10,000RPM drives in a RAID setup (whichever one combines the two together.)
I remember when he added a few more hard drives into the thing, and it had over a 2 terabytes of space (one was a terabyte drive) and I was like, "woaaahhhh wtf you'll never use all of that..."

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;27393548]in 1999 I had a computer with a Pentium III 600B at a whopping 600 MHz along with a TNT2 Ultra.
it was the shit[/QUOTE]
I used to play Counter Strike and other gldsrc games on that GPU until 2005

until 2005 how did you survive that long?
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;27395161]until 2005 how did you survive that long?[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, and that same machine had a 433mhz Celeron with 256MB of RAM.
Oh wow, my old computer was almost the same, 800Mhz Pentium 3 with 768MB SDRAM. Old times.
Three years ago I had slowly upgraded my PC to: 3.4 GHz P4, 1.5 GB DDR400, 80 GB hard drive, AGP Radeon X1950 Pro.
Then I 2 years ago I built this:
2.9 GHz (Overclocked to 3.41 GHz) Core 2 Duo E7500
4 GB DDR2
500 GB hard drive (1 TB eSATA external)
Radeon HD 4770
Cooler Master Elite 330
I wish I went with an AMD system back then, since upgrading to a quad core would be roughly $50 cheaper than with this socket 775 system.
Intel Pentium D 915 at 3.7Ghz
NVidia GT220
600gb hard drive
4gb (3 on 32 bit windows 7)
600W PSU
bitchin'
Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.00GHz
1GB DDR2 RAM
250GB HDD
Nvidia GeForce FX 5500
That shit was bitchin, still have it today, runs Windows 7 like a champ, but it was overtaken by my new laptop.

Pretty much sums it up[/QUOTE]
Hey come on now the one I have runs everything great still.
Athlon 3500+
GEIL 512MB PC2-667 or 800 can't remember
RADEON 9660 Family PRO 256MB
Seagate 80GB 7200RPM (Worst harddrive I've EVER owned)
Antec case
Costed me $1300 in 2004 at the local shop, later upgraded with a $220 XFX 7600GT and a gig of DDR2-800 RAM
That's when I learned I could build it myself for much cheaper
1.4 Ghz Celeron Tualatin
512 MB of SDRAM
Integrated graphics (later upgraded to Nvidia 8400GS for widescreen resolutions and some games)
40 GB HD (upgraded to 80 GB)
Used it up to a year ago. Used it for Photoshop CS4. And Garry's Mod.
It hated DVI for some reason though. Use VGA, and you get 50+ FPS in Gmod, but as soon as you use DVI, your lucky to hit 15.
This was my first PC all to myself:
"Super" Socket 7 AMD K62 @ 500HMz
256MB PC100 RAM
8MB AGP 2x ATi 3D Rage Pro DX 6 card
ASUS P5a motherboard, without the onboard audio. :/
PCI SoundBlaster 7.1
I upgraded the AGP card to a GeForce 5200FX and maxed out HL1. It was AMAZING to play now! :D
If it wasn't for Half-Life 1, I probably wouldn't have given a shit about PC gaming. I loved using the pre-source engine to map with. and having a DX9 graphics card was nice for a game that in 2003, was considered old.
This was a little bit more than 5 years ago, but here goes.
I think it's a socket A, amd athlon 1500, 512mb sdram, and bfg 6200 oc.

Went from a socket 939 2.2ghz processor with 3gb ddr a 40gb harddrive and x800gt/7600gt
Now have a c2d e6700 @ 3.33ghz 4gb ddr2 and 8800gt and its starting to show age.
i remember by bitchen' fast old pc:
pentium 4 3.0 ghz
1 gig of ddr2 ram
radeon 9550
160 gb hard drive
the beast maxed out source:smug:
AMD Athlon 2000 series at 2 ghz or so,
no card, just onboard graphics, 1 gb of DDR RAM,
120gb harddrive,
and a 300w PSU.
Think i can max Crysis with that? i happen to still have this piece of shit mainly for internet browsing for my mom, she's a recipe tester. by the way, my mom got this from some money she won at a casino in KC i think. think she paid around $1000 for it.
AMD Athlon x2 4600 Windsor core (AM2)
3GB of Corsair DDR2 667Mhz
400GB Spinpoint F3
580W Tagan PSU
ATI Radeon x1600 256MB
It's still my main rig, I haven't had an incentive to upgrade, new games suck so I don't play them and it pulls off the audio work I do no problem.
Before that it was the same except the CPU was an AMD Athlon 3200+ (S939) and the RAM was 256MB DDR (Yes, 256MB).
For a brief period I had an x1950GT 512MB, but it slowly died.
Rig before that:
AMD Athlon 2000+ Socket A
256MB DDR-God-knows-what
ATi Radeon 9250SE 128MB
3 x 10GB Drives of various manufacturers

Holy shit TechTV. I miss that channel :frown:
I beleive back in 2005 I was running my old Dell Dimension Which was...
-1ghz PIII Coppermine
-512mb PC133 SDRAM
-EVGA Nvidia 5200FX (yes, THAT abomination)
-20gb hard drive
By the time I finally was able to get around and build my current P4 system it was 2008 and the Dell was REALLY struggling to handle Ubuntu by then.
I'm still using my computer from five years ago...with a 320gig hard drive which I have never filled fully yet. I'm still running Windows XP (except I have Windows 7, I just need to buy a few more things for my PC before I install and switch to it. The only thing I've upgraded in it is my graphics card, which I upgraded to an Nvidia GTS 250 1GB. This year is the year I start upgrading actually. For now I just need a new Hard Drive (1TB so I can go batshit crazy, I have 30 gb left in my current one) and some more RAM. Surprisingly it runs every single game I have very well, including GTA IV.

I started with a really old handmedown computer. It had 64MB of ram so I'm guessing its not applicable.
Bought this in 2004.
AMD Athalon X64
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon 200 Onboard Graphics Chip
200GB HDD
I later upgraded to 2GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon x1300.
The sad thing is that in the future, the kick ass gaming PCs of now will be in this thread....

It may be related to you flashing the BIOS to an X1950 Pro and not watching the voltages or temperatures :v:
My friend still uses:
800MHz CPU
nVidia TNT2 or something like that.
256MB ram.
And he has Windows 98.
Tell your friend it's not right to steal from museums
