Join the peice of shit computer club!

No, it's not a real club, just taking a lil' poll on who here in the doom forums plays games with an obsolete computer, like me n' my p100...

P100 fine for playing Doom2, what more do you need? :)

I'm fine with my cpu, fod, just curious about who else runs an outdated computer.

does an amd-k6-550 with 128 megs of ram, count as a POS computer? :)

P200! But I also have a much better one for playing newer games :) I love my p200 though. It can still do a lot of stuff. Since it's basically worthless I can abuse it any way I like =].

I'm just here to mock those who haven't tried to overclock their systems.

My speed: 1 GHZ BABY!!!
Original Speed: 500 MHz

don't you need a LOT of cooling so the 500mhz OC to 1ghz? Lockups, unexpected rebooting, etc. oh btw I have a 450mhz AMD OCed to 500mhz, with 96mb RAM :)

I use dry ice, a case that I made, and LOTS of fans. I tried using a thermometer to measure the temperature of the case, but the mercury froze.

I have a 500MHz but I've never bothered overclocking it, as I don't want to waste too much money on new processors and motherboards every few months. It's fine the way it is now. 256MB RAM is also nice to have. Plus RivaTNT2 32MB Ultra card for JDoom/Heretic/Hexen, so I'm all set.

Depends on your definition of POS really. Its impossible to have a top of the range computer at any time so nobody has a 'modern' machine. It all falls down to what you need out of it.

hehe!

You overclocked it with 50 mzh?

That doesnt even show on the comp!

I must say that at 333mhz my computer could be considered still usable exept for one overlooked deatil... no 3d accelerator.

I don't have a credit card to buy one over the internet, or a debit card either (no checking account, straight savings baby!), so it doesn't look like ill be upgrading any time soon.

I hate it because I have a fast enough computer, and enough ram (64 meg), but that damn itty-bitty video issue fuckes the whole goddamn thing up!

486-33 running on 8mb of ram with Windows 3.1

TOP DAT SUCKA!!!

I got a 366mhz pII with 32mb ram,4.5gb hard drive,voodoo3 3000,44x cdrom drive,and a cable modom.Would that count as a piece of shit comp?

Probably everything except the cable modem, and, depending on the make, the CD drive.
