LOL!
I have my very first computer, an Amstrad 464 with a color screen sitting out in the shed.
I'm pretty sure if I dragged it out and hooked it up it would still work, but it's just not worth the hassle.

I remember how we played warcraft 3 LAN on that beast, like, 8 years ago...
I don't see how that's even possible. Warcraft uses 100+ MB RAM at all times (which isn't much, but it's a lot more than 64 MB RAM, especially since you also need RAM for windows).

It's funny when people try to brag about something when it's not actually very good. We're comparing poor computers.

That won't be long enough, his computer will still be decent in 10 years. I have 3 computers in my house. The oldest one is 10 years old, has 2 GB RAM and 2.8 GHz dual core processor. It's still good enough to run most new games today. People don't actually need their 4.0 GHz eight-core 16 GB RAM computers that they brag about. The limiting factor is their internet, and making their computer faster will never change their ping. A good computer lasts surprisingly longer than people think, though.

The lowest spec PC I have is:
386-SX 20MHz, 8Mb RAM, 170 Mb hard drive, running Win 3.11. And it runs happily on my network via a 10-base-T/10-base-2 router . The NiMH CMOS battery corroded and ate part of the motherboard, but it somehow still runs, although I have to input the HDD params every time I turn it on
The lowest spec PC I have which does something useful:
Pentium III 450 MHz, 384Mb RAM, 250Gb + 200Gb harddrives, 16Mb 4x AGP video card. It's running Ubuntu 9.10, and it's my torrent server (thanks to its low low power consumption). When I had Win98 installed it could actually run Freelancer at the lowest graphics setting.
PS. If you really wanna get technical, I have a working Apple IIc, circa 1985, along with a bunch of floppy disks.
