Re: What kind of computer are you using?
Well that PC is from the dark ages!
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?
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?
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.

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.

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)

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?

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.
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.

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.
