Well, here's the description for the computer that I'm not using yet, but will be soon, because it's simpler. (The description, not the computer. Though in retrospect...)
PII 400. 32 MB RAM The name of the motherboard escapes me at the moment... A Soundblaster clone ripped out of an aging 486. No drivers means it doesn't exactly work, but it makes the back feel less lonely, until I replace it with something better. And louder! Generic video card. Adequate, but soon to be replaced by an elegant 2D/3D solution. No speakers. Yet. (Well, there's a pair of cheap ones which came with the aforementioned 486, but I can't use them anyway, so...) No monitor. I've got a smallish burnt out Packard Bell model, which buzzes and smokes, but lets me set up the BIOS, so it isn't a total loss. 6X CD drive, also cannibalized. It too is merely filling a slot for its soon to arrive DVD descendant. No modem yet. The operating system? Why, what else could I really put on such a machine without feeling guilty? DOS 6.2, of course.
I enjoyed playing WarCraft II on this one. For one, it's a bit...fast. For another, in the setup screen, it lists the CPU as "486 or better." Damn straight!

Sol: get more RAM. No question. 64 or 128 Mb. . .
Mine (well, the home one anyway):
200 MMX 64 Mb RAM 6.4 + 3.2 Gb HDs 24x CD-ROM 56K (but w95 thinks it's a 33.6) 17" monitor God only knows what the graphics card is, but I think it's only a 2 Mb jobby. . . Soundcard? Er. . . recently upgraded it with software that emulates a Soundblaster, anyway. . .

266mhz 32mg ram 4.3 gig 24x cd Yamaha sound(ugh!) Laptop at home.
At work 200mhz 32mg ram 1.2gb harddrive no sound(which beats yamaha) 17in monitor has a cd that is an unknown. They upgrade 20% of the machines here at the office every year, and we get the hand me downs. I got a better hand down then some of the others last year, so it will be another year before I go up again.

I just happened to get a new computer two weeks ago, so here it is:
Apple Blue/White G3 350 MHz PowerPC 750 (1 MB cache, 100 MHz bus) 128 MB RAM 6 GB Quantum Fireball EX UltaATA HD 9.1 GB Seagate Barracuda Ultra/Wide SCSI HD 4.3x DVD-ROM (32x CD) ATA Zip drive 128-bit ATI card (made for Apple; using the latest Rage chipset) with 16 MB RAM ixTV tuner/digitiser Steath Serial port (so I can connect my camera and photo printer) Sony sfII 17in montior Built-in sound; no worrying about extra cards. Agfa 1212u USB scanner Built-in Firewire! (Now, then, about all those Firewire devices I'm supposed to be able to get...) No floppy drive! No modem!
Here is a picture of it. Ignore the gaping hole in the front; the blue Zip bezels are in short supply, but should be available soon.
