And I have like 15 other computers, but I'm not going to list them!

My rig:

Athlon64 3000+ 939 1.8GHz single core, 512M*2 infineon RAM, WD6400AAKS HDD, LG 4164B DVD burner, XFX HD4650 512M DDR2 graphics, GlacialPower GP-AL350AA PSU, Gigabyte cheap chassis, AOC if23 23" LCD, Ediffer R1900TIII 2.0 speakers, a discrete sound card, Logitech MX518 mouse and a cheapo HP keyboard.

Main:
Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 3.61GHz with Scythe Mugen cooler, Gigabyte P35-DS3, 4x 2GB Corsair XMS2 1066, voltmodded HD3870 512MB with Arctic Accelero S1 cooler, WD3200AAKS 320GB + crappy Maxtor 120GB HDD, Lite-On DVD burner, Seasonic SS-500HT PSU, Akasa Zen case, Nokia 920C 19" CRT, custom sound system with vintage bookshelf speakers and BIG subwoofer that i built myself, old Compaq keyboard, regular A4Tech optical mouse.

It's getting old i know, but since all i "play" these days is LTSpice and FL Studio, it isn't a problem. Matter of fact i even forgot what frequencies and voltages my video card runs at. I do plan on buying another WD3200AAKS and setting up a RAID (that'll give me an excuse to upgrade to Win7 coz i'm still running Vista x64 on this), but i end up spending all my money on electronic components for my various projects.

I also have a couple HP laptops with Turion 2GHz/2GB/one HD3450/one 8400GS, and one old ass Fujitsu laptop with 233MMX/192MB/6GB that i bought for DOS games.
This is what i have at home, at my grandparents' place i have a real funky dual PIII.

WOW! a 233MHz CPU! What can that thing do?!

A lot of stuff really.

Hmmm...Then again, seeing that Windows 95 (or whatever) runs so much lighter than XP, Vista, 7, etc, does it actially run much slower?

98... With 95 i'd have to hunt for drivers. It doesn't feel slow at all really.
