Mine's about a year old, so it's probably out of date already (I haven't read about anyone elses yet), but here goes:

HP Pavilion
AMD Athlon 3000+ (2.16 GHz)
512 MB DDR SDRAM
160 GB hard drive, 7200 RPM
DVD-ROM 16x
CD-RW 48x24x48x
ATI Radeon 9600XT, 128 MB
Charter cable internet
flat screen monitor
optical mouse

Am I missing anything?

While copying my cds to my ipod, here is some specs:


Athlon XP2100+ @ 1.77Ghz
MSI board, cant be bothered to remember specs on that
Nvidia Gforce FX5700 (TV out on it too, but I d rather use the 32" tv in the livingroom)
512 MB DDRam
17inch Hansol 730E Monitor
DVD Rom by Samsung
CD burner by LG Electronics 48x16x48
CNET Pro200WL ethernet card
Creative SB Live! for sound (5.1 system, with Creative 5.1 speakers connected )
Seagate HDD @7200RPM, maxing @ about80Gb, not taking partition into account
Optical mouse by Logitech
HP Scanjet 3300C
HP Deskjet 890C

Broadband connection @ 1800k down/512k up, peaking @ 2000k down though

All in all not too shabby for a 4yo. An oldtimer, I d say, so time to add in stuff some time...

For the record, I built my desktop myself, and I'm satisfied with the result.

My dedicated DOS PC, bought in 1996 and upgraded last year:

Pentium 166MHz
128 EDO MBRAM
Tseng Labs 4000 1MB
Voodoo Dragon II 8MB
Voodoo Dragon II 4 MB
(All cards are linked (SLI), creating one "supercard"
1,1 GB HD
40x CD-drive
Speedlink Joystick
15 inch monitor
Windows 95 and DOS 6

I can run EVERY Dos game on this one. Even the conventional memory monster like Aces over Europe WITH mouse and CD-Rom support. The trick lies in the order of your lines in config.sys and autoexec.bat. With the right order you don't waste precious Upper Memory Blocks. It took me a full two days to get it perfect . I now have 624k of permanent free conventional memory, every program is crammed in the UMB.
Yes, I'm actually proud on that

PM if you want help on managing your memory in DOS (including help on config.sys, autoexec.bat, msdos.sys, the mem command and EMS.

Wow, I remember seeing this thread back nearly when it was posted and I had my celeron 433...

For memory's sake, since you're still a regular poster.

Voting based on what I had at the time of this thread. It's enough to run Civ3, but that's about it.

Pentium II 450 MHz
128 MB SDRAM
13.6 GB Hard Disk (not enough free space to install Conquests )
8 MB Matrox Millenia G200
56 kbps Modem (since upgraded to ethernet)
Windows 98 First Edition (never reformatted to this day, hence it uses much more RAM than Windows 98 should)

Fortunately I've since upgraded (twice actually). Wouldn't want to try a 180x180 map on that one .
