So the first computer I ever built died today after eleven years of faithful service. Not that I used it much, but it had sentimental value, you know? Plus there were old games and such that only ran on XP. Compatability mode is a meme.

In honor of its life, let's talk about some of our old tech. What are you still holding on to, /g/? Tell us about it.

Pic unrelated.

Old Gateway desktop with a Pentium 4 and 4gb of RAM. I don't remember what video card is in there, but it ran rollercoaster tycoon like a champion

Haha what a faggot. Your poor pc had to suffer eleven years of that? Disgusting.

>Pentium 4
>4gb of RAM

Didn't know the Pentium 4 could support that much.

CPU: Intel core something something can't remember.
GPU: nVidia GeForce 9400 GT
RAM: 2GB

The oldest of I have. When I clean it up it actually runs pretty well.

Are you sure?
>>
>>57862764
EDIT: Not exactly sure about the GPU. Might be 9800 or something going like that. But it was 9xxx I can remember that much.

>>57862774
I don't think it was an Atom. Maybe Core duo or something like that. I seriously have to check.
>>
AMD Dual-Core 2.2 GHz
2.4 GB ram.
Still my main computer.
>>
Athlon 1400+ 1.4ghz
1gb ram (upgraded from 256mb)
geforce 2 64mb

DEER power supply, yes it went pop.
>>
>>57862206
32-bit systems support up to 4 gigabytes of memory, you unintelligent fuckwit.
>>
I still have an old T42 Thinkpad I haven't found a use for. It only has 512 MB of RAM with a 40GB drive.
>>
>>57863443
The chipsets total address space is 32-bit, but there's other things besides physical RAM which need to be mapped into that. You can install four 1 GB sticks of DDR memory onto better P4 motherboards, but usable memory will be 3-3.5 GB. Heck, even first generation Core 2 Duo chipsets were limited in that way (see Thinkpad T60(p)/X60 - 3 GB of usable RAM is the maximum, the whole upper gigabyte is reserved as per chipset design.)

>it died

What exactly happened? If you built it, then you know exactly that a PC is a modular beast and the faulty component can be pinpointed and quite probably replaced.

rude

>>57862124
Damn newfags, I still have my working Commodore 64.
Maybe if you delete your anime your computer will work in non weeaboo mode.
