Well, my current system config includes:a Iiyama Visiomaster Pro 17, a
Keytronic KB101 PLUS Professional series keyboard I bought second-hand
for $10 about 4 or 5 years ago, washed it, and won't be giving up
anytime soon - I need to give it a wash again sometime tho :),
a few random speakers since my stereo moved, a 24x Acer CDROM, a 3.5"
drive, which is literally the _only_ thing left from the original
comp, a Modified big tower case with both AT and ATX powersupplys, a
random AGP/100 socket7 motherboard with sound onboard, a Intel
166/MMX, 64 megs of RAM, by N-cube, with 9.5 years more warranty left,
a Matrox G200 OEM, a random PCI 10 Mb ethernet card, errrmmm.... well,
I guess that's about it. I keep getting more stuff integrated :)
I suppose I could use a K6/300 or 350... but well, money's run out :)
And besides, I run Free Agent, Netscape Internet Explorer, and zMUD.
that's just about it. :) Who needs processing power :)
