Now there's a challenge!

I assume you mean the main rig? I still have a Win98 rig for old-skool gaming and that gets shown to my class once in a while. Slot-A Celeron 300A @ 450MHz, 256MB SD-RAM (2x128MB), x2 Voodoo2 12MB, etc

Still, PC parts are pretty cheap and if it does all you need to do, why upgrade and save some cash?

I still have an old 2600+@2.5GHz, ASRock K7S41GX, 2x512MB DDR-333MHz and ATi Radeon 9800XT 256MB as my backup rig and it's still running strong for all my old DOS games

oh and a AMD K6-II 550MHz w/512MB Ram and a 128MB ATI Radeon 9200SE its just missing a PSU.

S478 Prescott 3.0GHz running at 3.16 at the moment, 1 gig of RAM, a 9800XT and a 750 gig HDD with Windows 7 booting off it

Works well enough for most things, searching through my photo/music libraries is a pain in the ass though as is using most newer Adobe CS programs. Games after 2006 pretty much just don't work, with the exception of SupCom FA (starts at around 10-15fps in minimum detail and cartographic mode, ends up at 2-3 fps).

Until six months ago my internet gateway was a 486@33mhz, 4mb ram, 200mb hard drive running OpenBSD. Sadly the power supply finally died and AT power supplies are a bit thin these days so she finally got scrapped. New gateway/oldest PC in use is a Celeron 700 with 256mb of memory, OpenBSD again.

I've got plenty of old systems. There's an XT clone from 1986, a few 286s, a few 386s (one of which supports my monitor), a Pentium 133, a PIII 667, a C3 800MHz or 1GHz (can't remember which), a P4 3GHz, and all sorts of other ones floating around.

The oldest ones that I use reasonably frequently are the C3 (download/storage box) and a PII 300MHz laptop (because it's got Windows 98SE, and some things don't like Windows XP).

Even my main system isn't exactly modern - but it's getting upgraded (I've got all the parts, but I haven't finished building the new system).
