What systems are used?

Since we get new people asking what we do and such in the industry. I thought I would throw out another question to give the noobs an idea of who we are and what we use. Since Sgt_B already asked about what we do. I would like for us to post what kind of systems we use on an individual basis. To give them an idea of the range of computers that are used. So just list your primary one used.

So I'll go first. :D

Wow put that in a showcase and get it praised sounds like a classic to me. lol

1.linux
1.47 gig athlon xp 1700
k7n420pro motherboard :) nforce chipset
30 gig hdd
creative lab 16X10X32 CDRW
creative lab 52x cd rom
256m ddr ram
almost 2 months old to the day

2.windows mp
p3 450mhz (don't laugh)
256m ram
hp cdrw, iomega zip, dvd player
8+20gig hdd
3 years old

im not a newbie, just a new name.

1.8 GHz athlon thunderbird
528Mb Ram (cant remember which type)
64Mb NVidia GF 2
audigy platinum ex
20Gb hard drive
CD 52x
CD Burn 24x16x10
its self built, all of its from DMA

Well seeing as how walmart doesnt pay well, here we go.

clients(2):
200mhz Pentium II Processor
64mb ram
24X cdrom
2 gig hard drive
15" Monitor
Linux-Mandrake 8.1 and Windows NT 4.0

server:
433mhz Intel Celeron
288mb ram
32X cdrom
8X burner
4.3 gb and 40 gb hard drives
geforce2 mx200 video card
Linux-Mandrake 8.1/FreeBSD 4.5/Windows98SE

The server also acts as my gaming pc, but spends 90% of the time booted into linux. Overall, all three computers cost me a total of about $600, buying used equipment, and assembling yourself pays off. The most expensive thing was the video card.

...and an 8-year old IBM AS400

This is the PC I use everyday at home... I also use one decent PC at school...

Home:
P3 800 MHz (133 Bus)
896 MB RAM (CL3, 128 + 256 + 512 - I got the 512 for under $80 new... Sorry, they don't have it anymore :()
20 GB HD (Windows)
4 GB HD (Linux Mandrake)
16 MB ATI Xpert 128 (Yeah, guess it kinda old)
32x CDROM (Original)
24x6x4 CD-RW (Smart and Friendly... Had it for 2~3 years now...)
16 Inch Moniter
Windows 98 SE & Linux Mandrake
56K Modem (Not a WinModem, never got it to work in Linux though...)
Network Card (Don't know speed)
A Game Controller (USB)
Palm Pilot Docking Station (IIIe)
Floppy Drive
Mouse
Keyboard (Old Larger Connection Type, not USB or PS/2?)

One feature that you may not find on many computers is this: I have mine connected up to a component sound system... 140 Watt Max Front, 40 Max Rear, 90~100 Subwoofer (8 Inch)... I try not to play music too loud :)

I pretty much built this computer on my own, starting with an old HP AMD system... The only original things are a CD-ROM drive, and 4 GB HD...


School (The Good One At School - Compaq):
P3 733?
160 MB RAM
Win 2000
6-20? GB HD

I know little else about the pc because there are only a few of them, and the teacher keeps a close eye on all of them... We work on them in groups, and my friends and I work fast to get free time the rest of the week... :)

I dont own a computer.

Oh wait, I still got that 386 box sitting at home running linux on it....

I don't care much for the do-hickies in my computer. I like making programs that work with the operating system, not the actual computer itself. Most people who are into programming, especially in the ASM field, are very hung up on their system.

But according to Moore's Law, in the year 2011 the microprocessor will have one billion transisters! How many do we have at the moment? 10-12K max probably.

So I am going to keep my rusty old tin can until then, thank you very much.

4 Win XP Pro Boxes (Including Laptop)
3 Linux Base Boxes
2 W2k Boxes
1 Win 98

My other servers take up the space at about 340 gigs
10/100 Lan card, no modem
Special features... I have 2 of my 3 drives on this computer in removable drawers
All conected to the highest speed ADSL availble without going to a T1
