What's the most out of date system you have running on a regular basis

Nothing very old at all around me anymore:

oldest system here at work is a 1.4ghz machine, nothing really that old here at all.

at home, my daughters share a PIII/933 laptop for chatting, browsing etc.

Osbourne with CP/M ,monochrome screen, 4" I believe lol ...was bought for my grandfather by McDonnell Douglas so he could take a computer on his commutes.Still operational

Not true, I have seen 3 Intel Pentium 266 socket 7 CPU's. They were OEM only and I don'tthink there are many of them in circulation anymore.

As for my oldest system, an Intel 486 Dx4 100, 64meg of ram, 2x 2.1gig HDD's 4meg s3 Virge video, 4mb Orchid Righteous 3dfx card, awe 32 ISA sound card 24x CDrom, Windows 95 (release 1)

Tis the doggie knackers :D

And yes, it has a modem, a 9600bps!

After I put in a new modem, my challenge is finding ram for this thing, I think its 40-pin Edo. I'm not sure. I have a friend who seems to know old computers.

How can I find out for sure? It doesn't say what kind it is on the ram itself.

If its 72pin EDO I have a stack and store box full (yup I stripped alot of old PC's over the past 6 years,

Have everything from 4mb to 32meg sticks :)

As for 30pin SIMMS there were a few 16meg sticks released :)

Might not be the oldest, but probably the hardest working....P90, 32mb RAM, 2X CD ROM, with OS2 WARP (yes, OS2 WARP) running 11 language interpretation system for 334 seat military/civilian college program....been running nonstop, 24 hours a day since initial installation in 2000. A few reboots here and there, and program updates, but Philips/Siemens for some reasons still makes end-users use old PCs with OS2 WARP!!!!!

meyah, if it works why not :D
