I bet i have near one of the worst computers, its a peiced together pos lol, it has a duron 1100 mghz which wont even overclock to 1150 my ram is limited to 100 mghz also

luckily i have 512 which is just barely able to skirt it into games like bf2 and medieval war 2 takes forever to load tho lol, oh and i have a 225 watt power supply with a 9200 128meg video card yeah it blows lol gave my last sytem away to a friend who had just goten his 2,000 dollar laptop fried by a fucking idiot who spilt coke on it than pluged it in and turned the fucking thing on LOL suprise it got fried, and at the time i was spending hideous amounts of time on the computer so i had to part with it.

nah, I think it sounds pretty good

JrRacinFan · Dec 2, 2007

<-- Would consider my own as midrange. Definitely not the worst I know that much.

psyko12 · Dec 2, 2007

Mine coz I got a P4... Lol?

hat · Dec 2, 2007

On Topic:
Meh still haves my ACER p2 mmx 166 and 32mb of edo ram with onboard 2mb ati video card and 15 gigs of hdd runnin on win 98 se

JrRacinFan · Dec 2, 2007

Mine is actually a little bit more bottlenecked than yours psyko.

psyko12 · Dec 2, 2007

Woot gee.. I don't know alot about bottlenecking, is that the relation of cpu, ram and vcard and other components?

1 more thing would, this old CRT on my SPECS bottleneck my system.. Lol sorry for the noobness

On topic:
Still got a working amd k6-2 450 here but the mobo is dead lol hmmm

man114 · Dec 2, 2007

Does the computer have to currently be in use? If so I may have the oldest computer that still sees some use...

circa 1994
Packard Bell Legend 104CD Supreme
originally a Pentium 60 currently running a 233MMX with a powerleap module
USR Sportster Vi 14.4 modem (so old it was made in the USA)
96MB EDO RAM (shipped with 8MB)
1.7GB Seagate hard drive (boots windows ME), and a 9.1GB Seagate Elite 9 SCSI drive
Voodoo 3 2000 16MB PCI card (primary) ATI Mach32 onboard for a secondary display
Soundblaster AWE32 w 4MB RAM
external SCSI 4x4x16 CD burner
the SCSI adapter is an ISA one from an Iomega Jaz drive
also has a Syquest EZ Flyer drive hooked up to it

When purchased it had 810MB hard drive, 2X Matsushita CDROM (controlled via an Aztech sound card), this was back before standard ATAPI drives were seen). Forget about pipeline burst cache, this thing has asynchronous write through.

So this thing still works. I actually played Quake 2 on it on Thanksgiving (and it runs surprisingly well with the Voodoo 3). The cards take up all but one PCI slot so further upgrading is technically still possible. Its not terribly slow either, I elmininated a lot of extra stuff that didn't need to be on there and it works. I did some workarounds to make the original Packard Bell Navigator and its flyscreen work in windows ME, as well as the original screensavers.

It was upgraded from Windows 3.11 to Win95, to Win98, to WinME, and yes I'm going to attempt to make it run XP, but that will likely have to be a full clean install.

Its more about the novelty of it working than actually seriously using it, though if you had to go online with it, or type up something its not slow to the point where you'd be hitting it because it is so slow.

DrPepper · May 9, 2008

Erm I have an other pc I use for IM when I'm gaming it has a 1ghz duron, 256+128 mb RAM it's not ever ddr and a 3 series nVidia and a 20gb ide I think that's a serious contender for the worst pc :rockout:

Exavier · May 9, 2008

my ONLY actual computer is a PIII with 768mb ram and a fx5200
oh and 80GB HD

Joshmcmillan · May 9, 2008

lol this thread is really old. It had to be your main computer as well.

FreedomEclipse · May 9, 2008

Hi im entering for the "worst pc"

CPU: PIII 500Mhz
Ram: 512Mb @ 100Mhz (SD-RAM)
GrFX: Nvidia Geforce MX 2 440 32mb
HDD: 10gb

in working condition

or if you will accept....

CPU: Intel 50mhz SX/DX II
RAM - 50mb EDO Ram
Graphics - Unknown - i think its either a trident or Mirage or S3 graphics - one of the built in peices of crap
O/S: Windows 3.1
Hdd: 2Gb
was operational until a few days ago

btarunr · May 9, 2008

Can I use my dad's PC for the worst PC thingy?

It's a P4 Willamette 1.7 + Intel D845WN + GeForce4 MX 440. I can put up validations if you want.

O/S: Windows 3.1
Hdd: 2Gb

I think it's for operational pc's only? (I have a non-operational 80286....)

But anyway, nominating myself for the worst functional pc -

CPU - Celeron 333Mhz (mendocino)
Mobo - Soltek SL-62C
RAM - PC100 SDRAM 168pin 128MB
HDD - 6GB (will check brand later)
Graphics Card - AGP Nvidia Vanta 16MB
Sound Card - Aztech AZT2320
OS - Win98 SE.

I can post screenshots if wanted (cpu-z etc)

I also nominate N-Gen's laptop as the best laptop on TPU. It's in his system specs, but here's what I'm talking about:

Processor - T7200 2.0Ghz
RAM - 2GB DDR2 667Mhz
Graphics - 7950 GTX 512MB oc'd at 605/860
2 HDD's, DVD-RW,
7.1 sound
17" monitor

Triprift · May 9, 2008

Ok so far i have the worst lappy as biohazzards is slighly better speced by the looks of it.

Joshmcmillan · May 9, 2008

I spose I could start updating it again, ppl will have WAY worse PC's now.

For the worst computer, it MUST be YOUR main computer. The one you put in your system specs + use more then any other computer.
