I have 2 and a half computers...
My main computer is a PIV 2.8Ghz, 800Mhz FSB, 1MB cache CPU with 512MB for DDR3200 RAM, with 2 120GB hard drives and an ATI 9700 Pro video card.
My secondary system is my former main system, a PIII 933MHz, 133MHz FSB CPU, 512MB of SD133 RAM, 2 60GB hard drives, and an SiS Xabre video card.
Both of the above are running Windows 2000 SP4. Honestly, I don't notice much of a preformance differeance between the two computers when preforming most tasks. Actually, somtimes the PIII seems faster, however it takes forever to boot up...
My "half" of a computer is soon to be a whole computer. It's acutally left over parts from my really old system. It's a PII 400MHz, 100MHz FSB, 512k Cache CPU, 512MB of SD100 RAM, and a 3DFX Voodoo 5 video card. I need to find a hard drive and a few other things, and I'll have another complete system. I'll probably install Ubuntu Linux on the thing. I've been meaning to try Linux, and this might be just the system for it. I'll probably use it for browsing this site (as well as others) fairly often once it get it going, I want to see if I like Linux, and if I do, I might install it on all my computers.
This poll makes me feel old though. I've been using computers since the beginning. My first system was a 286, I think it was 12MHz with the "trubo" switch on (am I the only one who remembers those?), and it had 640K of RAM and a 10MB (not GB) hard disk. My OS was DOS 5.0... Oh, I almost forgot, it had a CGA montior (thats 4 color graphics for you youngins')...
How ya doing, buddy?
