What's the most out of date system you have running on a regular basis

[ephmynus]

So everyone always wants to talk about their best system... what about your oldest that you have running at home?

Mine's my good old P (no II just P) 266 laptop with a recent upgrade to 64mb of RAM from 32mb with a 5 gb hard drive and 2mb video memory. I used to build systems for my wife to use for school. She'd never use them so I'd keep selling them and she'd always get pissed off at me. I finally bought the laptop for us and told her I'd never sell it. Nice little lappy for word processing and internet use.

My oldest desktop is my newly (and freely) acquired Dell PIII 733.

I recall that Intel only made the Pentiums up to 233. Is that like a Cyrix or something that you have there?

My oldest is a P133 HP, works great with 80MB and NT server. Unfortunately all of my older hard drives keep failing, and I refuse to put a new one it this old bucket, so when this last drive goes, Out the door the HP will go with it!

Ive got a customer running a Pentium w/ (32mb ram I think) with PCDOS 6.2 I think some of my customers in teh hills of Kentucky still have old 486's too...

Have an old 386 SX 33MHz with 4 MB Ram running Win95.
No longer using it. Now in storage but it works.

we've got a P233 MMX with 128 mb ram, a 3.2 gb, 4.3 gb, and (2) 8.4 gb hdds running as a mp3/small file server here at work. its been running the mp3/small file duties for about 2 years, but the damn thing has been running something or another here for the last 5 years. we just can't kill it.

I'm still using an old HP-85A. According to the serial number on this bad boy, it was manufactured in 1979. It uses BASIC language, has 16K (yes, that's a K) internal memory expanable to 32K...and yes, I have all 32K.

It also has a 5 inch diagonal display, a thermal printer and a magnetic tape drive...all in one complete unit. The CPU is an 8-bit parallel microprocessor.

I primarily use this to check out old HP disk drives with the old HPIB interface buss. It also comes with a serial and a parallel interface to check out old HP printers, plotters, etc.

That has to be the oldest thing I have ever heard of still in operation. I think you win!

Pentium "1's" went to 266 but the p2 started at 233. Prolly what yer thinking. If it's in a laptop is actually a pentium tillamook processor. I used to have one when they were "da bomb".

My slow machines have all become presents for others. I still have a compuqe machine at work I use. I have one left and it may beat a few of you.

233mhz pentium, 2gb, 128mb edo, gvc mobo (pc chips clone) with built in graphics and sound.

I have a Celeron 333a on a board with 3 isa and 3 pci & 1 agp ,it's a slot 1,and uses PC100 sdram.
and it runs 24/7 as my printer server.

[Wayward Clam]

I recently wrote 17000 words on an old Cyrix 486-66 with 8 MB RAM using Word 97.
