    At the moment my computer I'm using is 333mhz, but I have an old samsung computer which is 8mhz (16mhz turbo) and has only 2mb of ram and a 40mb hard drive plus a 512kb video card. I got it 9 years ago.

    Ouch, and I thought mine was slow.

    BTW mine is a WEBase flunkie with a BCM/GVC motherboard, nboard video w/trident dual display vid card, SB 16 soundcard, AMD K6-2 400 o/c'd to 450, WD 20 Gig HDD, HP 9150 CD Burner, Creative 52x CD-Rom.

    May sound nice and all, but it is a POS.

    Oh yeah, and its 2 years old

    That's a really old computer there pc_oldgames.

    I had a computer that was 20Mhz and turbo was 40Mhz, but I only have the motherboard for that now because I sold the rest.

    OH yeah, DUH, I forgot about my other PC. I have no idea just how old it is, but the BIOS date is 95. It has a whoppin 40 mHz Intel processor, and thats about it. It does have two floppies, a 3.5 that I put in and one of the 5 in. floppy drives. and it also has a 106.9 mb seagate hard drive.
    and its all mine

    And yes it does run, thats what the edit is. I went and kicked it around a little and it started up. schweeet.

    Slowest one I got was a 200 MHz MMX socket 7 from Intel, which was just three years ago.

    Are we talking only PCs? Coz I bet there are some vic20s out there collecting dust, waiting for their time in the light once more!
    I'm sure I could dig out a c64 at least!
    Maybe the criteria should be that they are setup and running in your household! And no fibbing people. You can't just set it up whilst your typing out your message to the forum.
    Using that criteria. I lose.
    Elad.

    PS very impressive piece of equipment there Otaku!

    okay, okay, I am NOW typing this out on my 40mHz mentioned above. The only thing that has changed is the HD. I installed a 500 Mb HD so I could run Win98.

    There you go, its a slow one. Its kinda fun playing around with this old thing.

    Its not the slowest, but its darn near.

    I was running as my only system a 486 DX4-100 with a whopping 16MB of RAM and a 1GIG HDE which was at 80% full as my only computer until about a week ago. I thought it was the slowest one on the internet. Anyway this has been a real eye opener, I did not think anything slower could run on the internet.

    Like otaku, my old man has a xt (8088) that still runs. with a cga card and monitor a 360k floppy disk drive. Cant rememeber the sound card. Still using Dos 3.3.

    We also have the parts to put together a xt 8086, computer with mono color. If we could find a case to put it in.

    The good old days. both comps r about 14-16 years old
