This scrap computer was a bit of a find. It's another super socket 7 setup using an FIC VA-503+ rev. 1.2, (review) which some say was one of the best SS7 boards around. It has a lot of potential to beat out the i430vx as my classic rig as it has AGP (albeit 2x) Just need to find the manual and some drivers for it.

Classic ? Well, I have this.
Used to belong to my mother. She gave it to me to play with when I was 10. iirc I've only used it once to play Space Invaders or a similar game.
I also have a gateway 2000 solo notebook (don't remember which model, nor where did I put it).

as for desktops. The oldest rig I owned had an Intel PIII CPU, 256mb RAM and 30GB HDD. Can't for the life of me remember the rest of the specs . Upgraded to a P4 back in 2007, and added a Club3D AIW 9200SE. with 768MB DDR RAM and a 60GB HDD.

Nice, a spectrum, those make wonderful chiptunes, characteristic sawtooth feel to the sound.
