And apparently despite the tons of dust in it it still works! It's an HP pavilion 8765C, and runs Windows ME. I actually managed to get it hooked up to my internet connection, and it can't download anything because everything's outdated! [lol] Well, at least it gives my internet when this computer's occupied. All I need is a new keyboard and mouse, I can't find one! I have to use the ones on this computer if i use it. [lol]

This is a picture of it.

I know, old, right? [lol]

WOW, that is old. Believe it or not,I still have an old compaq 5410US Series 5000 that I got back in like 2000 and I still use every now and then, and it works pretty good. And I know what you mean about upgrades,lol! But the primary one I use is one I built from the ground up.

Nah, like I give a poop about the thing. It's not like it has anything important stored in it, just a bunch of old little kid games, even though pocket tanks is always fun to play.

We had a Pentium 100mhz PC run until 2005ish when the power supply gave out. Hardrive was like 680mb.

Ok, screw it, here are the specs I read from the still unpeeled labels on the PC.

AMD Athlon 900 MHz processor
128mb SDRAM memory
45GB ultra DMA hard drive
12x max speed DVD ROM
HP winter plus CD-RW

It also says that it is the #1 best selling home PC in retail in 1999.

128mb RAM? [lol] It's amusing to think that was probably top of the range when you bought it.

This has insipred me to think about hooking up my old desktop, that was of a similar calibre to yours.... but, oh wait yeah, I lobbed it out the window [lol]

I have an old Gateway that runs ME that doesn't have internet now...but that is the computer I use RCT2 on because my Vista laptop doesn't run RCT2...although my Dell laptop might run it but that's getting fixed and I've never tried it. I can get specs later on it. LOL wow I thought I was the only one with an old desktop like that but I guess not! LOL
