Worst PC competition

[TLI-Inferno]

Antique PC's that aren't being used shouldn't count.

This is a contest for the worst PC that is actually being used.

I myself don't have anything applicable to this contest. Even my oldest computer from 10 years ago is still good today.

But one of my friends is currently using a computer with:

600 MHz processor
224 MB RAM (most likely 32 MB reserved for onboard video)
If he leaves a browser with a chatroom open while he tries to run diablo 2 (a game from 15 years ago), his computer often crashes because it doesn't have enough RAM.
You know what the best part is? He bought the computer a month ago. If only he'd listened to me and taken my advise on buying computers, instead of being suckered into that garbage.

My school had (may be still has) PC like your friend, may be he took one from it?

I'm currently running FL off mine. This is currently the most powerful computer in the house, although it is due a replacement in the next few months.

PII 233MHz
64MB RAM (16 reserved for video)
32GB HDD
with winXP installed.

I remember how we played warcraft 3 LAN on that beast, like, 8 years ago...

Nope !

I currently use: ( Since my main PC is broken )

Intel Pentium III Processor
861 MHz
368 MB RAM

Intel® 81825 Graphics Controller ( 32 MB Graphics )

The best thing about this is: I can play everything !

I WON THE COMPETITION !

And I even had a modified IBM Thinkpad 760EL ( older version )

551 MHz
251 KB RAM

Last year I was using a celeron 733 with a mobo with sis630 integrated graphics and A 1600x1200 SCREEN. not the worst mentioned but pretty close.

I would be soooo pissed if my current laptop breaks and I hafta fall back on that one.

PII 233MHz

Mah dad *currently* runs a fambly server on windows 2000 and a PII 400 from like 12 yearz ago 8|

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502

About a year ago I had really poor conditions for playing disco.
All details always at minimum and 800x600 resolution (later I shrinked it to 640x480) and I forgot to add I never had more than 20 frames per second when there were no ships around me. When caps spawned,my FPS would drop by half.
Black space background was horrible,and some ships on which I could see turrets only.

Intel Celeron 2.00GHz (this was actually the only good part of this computer)
256 MB of RAM
40 GB Hard Drive (it was a damaged one,so I always had to mess up with wires inside my case when I got few a BSoDs)
Some crappy internal graphics card
The whole computer was the biggest garbage I've ever seen. Thankfully,I don't have to use that horrible piece of hardware

Correct. Sorry that I didn't mention that.

Well.. whats the prize? xD

A cookie.


The main problem I have with old PC's, even trough the are working, the programs and games require alot of processor speed and RAM. At my school we have PC's with one core 1.60 GHz CPU's and not more than 512 MB RAM. And we are expected to use Photoshop on those. >.<

[BrowniesPacked]

Approximately six months ago I was using:

CPU: AMD Athlon 1800+ ~1.6Ghz
RAM: 1 GB DDR
GPU: AMD Radeon 9600 (128MB)
OS: Windows XP SP3

Played FL on that machine for years, most reliable piece of junk I ever owned until it eventually crapped out on me It survived far longer than it should of done however!
