64Megs of ram..

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Well that PC is from the dark ages! :D

I don't game on a PC but still build my own when they go tits up.

So what i have now is more than sufficient for my needs.

Intel i3 4170
Use the built in GPU
16GB RAM
120GB SSD
2x 2TB HDDs
Windows 10 64bit
Firefox although i used to use Chrome until Quantum came out.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

A home build that has been upgraded a number of times. Originally 98SE but now XP SP2. (original install)

128G SATA SSD for the OS and programs, 500G SATA Data drive, 2G RAM, FX5200 graphics. Sempron 3300 CPU (64bit Athlon core) Iiyama Prolite 1080p 28" screen. All a bit long in the tooth but it runs well enough and still supports some old legacy 16 bit programs.

As I use it for hardware and software development it needs to have lots of connectivity so 4 USB ports, legacy serial and parallel ports.

I also have an HP Probook 450 laptop (Intel i3) with 128G SSD running W7 pro for anything that needs a 64bit OS.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Not a dinosaur. Old all the same as things go

AMD Phenum 916x4

16GB memory

Shit loads of storage 20Gb + externals + cloud total about 4 TB?

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Came to hate Microsoft so I now have an Acer R13 Chromebook and am running Linux on my i7 Samsung laptop with Window 10 hidden away and sitting on the naughty step.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Intel Quad 2.4Ghz, 3Gb RAM, 2x1Tb HD, Vista... and as solid as a rock. Firefox browser as no other runs on Vista these days. But all my other programs do including MsMoney 3, MsWorks 2, and PaintShopPro 6.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

i5 2500k, 8GB, Win 10, no GPU. Had an AMD 470 GPU in it but it died a year or so ago and card prices were getting silly due to mining so bought a PS4 instead of replacing it and haven't looked back.

The only reason i still have the PC is torrents and media storage tbh. Between tablets and the PS4 it's became pretty much redundant outside of those. It takes up far too much room and one of these days i should get around to doing something about it.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

You listen to 8 Track Tapes, prefer Mono over Stereo, VHS over DVD/Bluray, SD over HD, and use a PC from 1995. Something just don't add up here.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

He has a pet dinosaur as well ;)

I'm quite impressed anyone can still use IE6, I would have though many sites would fail now.


I have three desktops, but the one I mainly use atm is about 4 years old.
Its an Intel Core i5-3340 3.10GHz, running Windows 7 Professional (with built in Intel HD Graphics)

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

My main PC is......
AMD Piledriver 8370 4Ghz, 16GB Ram, 4GB Nvidia 1050Ti, 250BSSD for Windows 10 x64 Pro + 2x2TB Hard disks for storage. Also have a Synology ds215j with 2x3TB WD Red drives with a samsung D3 6TB connected for backup. Got 3 x 4TB USB Hard disks for backup also.

Use Firefox Quantum as my browser.

Im upgrading to the new Ryzen 2000 chips when they are released next month though.

Thank you for your kind words my friend,they really mean alot :)

Not to worry...

Congrats my friend so you have IE6 also on there :)

Is the version of IE6 the same on XP sp2 as it is on 98se? -- Well you have the colourful UI @ the top like I do on MyIE2 right?

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

The IE6 is from the install of Office 2000 pro. I don't use it as my main browser as I'm a FF user but for some strange reason I need to use it when configuring my Buffalo router as FF won't display the sub-pages properly. :confused:

BTW the office 2000 has the MS plug-in to support the later x file formats. Free download at MS central.

Finally a lot of the CAD tools I use are being supported under Linux so I think on the next rebuild that'll be the way to go.

"What's a computer?" :D

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

I must admit that although I do have a fancy pc I hardly use it and just tend to use my iPhone 7 in voiceover mode.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

ACER laptop 1612 Pentium Centrino 1.6 MHz 1 meg RAM and windows 7 originally Windows XP, it is very slow.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Max out your RAM and fit an SSD for the main OS. Not too costly but will reward you in spades. No need to upgrade the OS.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

The RAM is maxed. I think it is better to go for a new and faster pc, perhaps a i5 or i7

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

I have a 4690k, Asus turbo 1060 and 16gb ram. currently have 4 HD's 500gb main SSD the rest are 3 x 2TB and a 3TB nas drive

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

My home PC is pretty old now - Core 2 Duo, 8Gb RAM. Upgraded it with an SSD a couple of years back - the best upgrade you can ever make!

Getting itchy feet now and thinking of building a new machine - AMD Ryzen 1600 (or maybe 2600 when it comes out) 16Gb RAM, M.2 SSD plus a 1TB spinning drive. Nice!

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

i7 - 4770k, 16gb Ram, 14TB Hard drives, 2 x 250gb SSDs, GTX 1080, Win 7.

I doubt I'll be upgrading anything for a while as the lack of PC games these days is quite a factor. Mainly use the PC for TV out to AV which works very well.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

1 Meg of RAM? i wish i had that much! :D

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

I have ED bought it for £90 when in beta played it for all of 3 hours and the whole control system put me off keep meaning to go back and really give it ago

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Intel i5-3570K 3.40Ghz overclocked to 4.7Ghz
16GB RAM
Win 10 Home 64bit
250GB Samsung SSD for OS and games
2TB hard drive

It's about 5 years old, but does what I need it to do - I might add another SSD for games and change the graphics card for a 1070, but not just yet.

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Probably in the pub!

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Personally I think we would be much better off without some computers (ie smart phones).

Yes indeed....... They spy on EVERYTHING THE USER does paul!!!

They don't that is just crazy people that think that.

I know people that tape over their web cams and mics!

Re: What kind of computer are you using?
 

Have you looked to see how many scripts are running on the sites that you visit and what they're all doing? Mostly they are targetted advertising trackers but there are some really nasty ones out there.

I run a scriptblocker and only allow the ones that are absolutely necessary for a site to function and they're on a whitelist. These being mainly common Google API libraries and video helpers/cdns
