Worst PC


_Ray

Recommended Posts

OK, post the specs here of your PC if you think it sucks. No saracsm/ showing off great systems, but if you have a crappy PC, show it here, let's see who's got the worst.

It must be your Primary PC that you use everyday, and not just some old one sitting up in your attic.

I'll start:

Gigabyte K8VM800 Motherboard

350W PSU

Windows XP SP3 (I liked SP2 better <_< )

Onboard 64MB UniChromeII Graphics @ 1280x1024, 60fps, 32bit Color on 1999 CRT 14" Monitor

512MB Single Channel DDR RAM @ 400 MHz (PC 3200)

Samsung 80GB ATA100 (IDE) HDD, 20.7GB Free

Internal 16x DVD-ROM Drive, (Broken), External USB 2.0 Memorex 16x DVD-RAM Multi Recorder

No Floppy

5W Speakers from 1999

AMD Athlon 64 2800+ @ 1.8GHz, 512k L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB, Single Core

Canon MP530 Printer

10/100 Onboard Ethernet, 10Mbps connection

Onboard Realtek AC'97 Sound, and SB Live! PCI Card Somethin' from long ago, put in last year. The SB is used it's game-port for my Keyboard and Joystick. (They're old too) The AC'97 is for Audio.

This System was built during the summer of 2005, was decent at the time, now it sucks.

I used to have better 100W Speakers, and I used to have a MP390 Printer. I got the External Drive 8 months before the Internal quit.

Post this just to piss him off? :innocent:

Anyways, I think I have a mid-decent PC, so I'll post it.

I don't think I can even post my mobo, it came with the PC, and I know it's an nVidia chipset((funnily enough, I accidentally typed "cheapset" at first)).

AMD Athlon 64 3500+((which is barely a step up from my 2800+, if it even is))

1.5GBs of some cheap RAM((yanked a half GB out to give to Chestnut))

I have an integrated nVidia GeForce 6100, and I don't even know the memory because every program tells me something different((and if anyone could tell me how to set/change it, I'd appreciate that)).

And since I didn't build this PC myself, that's really all I can tell you. Thus is the problem with buying prebuilt PCs.

I had a pretty shit PC before:

Intel Pentium 4 Processor @ 2.1GHz

256MB of RAM

40GB HDD

Nvidia GeForce 3 series (Don't know the exact model) 64MB

My New PC (Brought in September 08') is this:

Intel® Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz)

ASUS P5N-MX Nvidia Geforce7050 Mainboard - Intel Core™ 2 Duo/Quad Core MATX

4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM - (2x 2GB)

500GB Serial ATA Hard Drive with 16MB Buffer

Samsung 22x Dual Layer DVD Writer Super Format +R/-R/RW/RAM

512MB nVIDIA GeForce 9500GT

20.1" Widescreen LCD TFT

The whole system is awesome except the graphics card, can only play most high end games on Medium/Low settings. This will last me for a few years.

TM's old PC would definitely be the worst one thus far.

Mine's fairly average

HP D510SFF

Intel P4 2.4GHz

1GB of DDR Ram

120GB HDD

NVidia GeForce 6200 (256MB V.RAM) (supporting dual screens)

Dual old Compaq 7020 LCD Monitors

And not to mention, AWESOME PINK SPEAKERS!

I don't know why people still have CRTs. 19" LCDs can go for as low as 80 quid here.

I have a 15" CRT from 1999 that came with my original Toshiba PC

Specs:

366MHz Pentium CPU

5.99GB HDD

Onboard Video, probably about 4 or 6MB, can't remember

Total 32MB RAM if I remember correctly

Windows 98

Dial-Up

So yeah, my monitor's seen a lot.

And what the hell is a quid?

Is that British Slang for pound or something?

You got it Raybob.

And yeah seems like I have a shitty old PC still lying around somewhere in my house. Hopefully someone else will come and have a much worser PC than I have. Oh yeah, that old PC of mine would of been badass if it was the year 2000-2002. Payed like £1,000 for it back in the year 2000, now it could possibly cost around like £200 or even below! :P
