- Mega old DOS monster that smoked if you put the wrong floppy disk for "space wars" in
- IBM laptop running Win95- very old chipset, but i loved it and I could record my voice and make it all funny on it. Thgen my mum dropped it and broke the screen
- IBM again I think- a desktop this time, running Win98. Don't remember the CPU, but it did have a 4 gig HDD until my dad spent big and upgraded it... to 20 gig. That was a good computer, but it had a motherborad failure where lights started flashing and smoke started pouring out of it. As a 7 year old, it scared the shit outta me.
- Compaq Presario laptop with Intel Celereon 1.6 ghz, 256 mb ram (upgraded to 512 because it wouldn't run the Sims 2) and a 30 gig HDD. Runs winXP. Still have that one, but my sister took custody of it and filled it full of viruses. One of my February projects is to reformat it and get it running again. Got that for getting into my school, actually.
- Dell Dimension (or something) 4600, Intel Pentium 4 3ghz or something, 1 gig RAM, 100 gig HDD, winXP. We got this about 5 years ago and it is still running.... somewhat. It is in getting repaired at the moment as the system file in the system32 folder got deleted/corrupted. I blame my sister. It is a good computer though, and at the time we got it, it was massively powerful and fast. It is reliable too, like most old DELLs. It's HDD is starting to thrash and fail though
- Finally, mine. DELL Inspiron 9400/E1705 (depending on where you live
). This is my (admittedly massive) baby, and the computer I use for
everything. It has an Intel Core2Duo 7200 (2 ghz), 2 gig ram, 160 gig HDD and runs Vista home Premium. It also has a Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS in it, which runs pretty well for what I use it for. It is an awesome computer, I love it. It is a bit tempremental at times though and can run a bit hot 9due to a design flaw whereby it sucks in dust along with air to cool it and is essentially uncleanable unless done by a professional), and it has had its graphics acard and mainboard replaced due to a graphics card failure a few months ago. But its great.
Next up in the line is most likely a netbook for me to use at uni, a Lenovo laptop in a year and a bit time from my new job and potentially a new desktop as the main PC.
