What system do you use ?

Recommended Posts

I'm asking me what system all the Doomers here use.
I think the most will be Win 98 / 386 compatible.

I'm using Windows NT4.0 on a dual-processor machine / 386 comp.

If I had ISDN hardware that was compatible with Linux, I would definately use that. Windows is so fucking unstable and insecure, but since this is not the case, I use Win98R2 (at the university we have Sun Solaris, THAT is what I call a powerful system).

Win98 and a PentiumII 400. Doom doesn't need the processing power, but EverQuest does! ;) (Doom and EverCrack are the only two games that I have played for more than 24 hours)

PowerMacintosh G4-processor with 400mHz like the one built in in the graphite-G4, but in the nice housing of the PowerMacintosh 6100 (upgraded, looks like one of these flat sun sparc-stations or NEXT-Color-stations) with MacOS 8.6 and MacOS 9.0. 136 MB Ram (Brand NewerTechnologie, usual max is 72 MB)
Monitor 17" Apple. Three SCSI-Harddrives of 9.1 MB (personally I do not trust IDE-HDs, besides that they are slower than SCSI, their failure-rate is much higher than SCSI`s)
The maybe best Keyboard ever made: "The Apple ADB extended Keybord II"
One button-mouse (Yes!!!:-)

I can also run Linux on this machine.

I use to run a PC-emulation called "VirtualPC" on my Mac which comes with PC-Dos 7.0. I need it for source-ports and some editors.

New comp (custom built):
AMD Athlon 700MHz
Asus K7 Motherboard
Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP
SB Live Platinum
Altec Lansing Speakers with sub-woofer
128MB RAM
20.5GB WD HD
19" NEC Monitor (Virtual flat I think)
Logitech three button mouse with wheel
US Robotics Internet Gaming Modem
120 MB Super Disk drive (Huh huh huh... It's called floptical in bios even though it really isn't a floptical. Huh huh. I said floptical.)
48X CDROM
4x4x4x24 Toshiba CDROM+CDR+CDRW+DVD
3com Office Connect Fast Ethernet

Other old comp (horrible old Packard Bell with some upgrades and replacement parts):
P120MHz
SB AWE 32 and External Zoom Flex 56K modem (to replace defective modem+sound card board)
horrible 1MB video card built into motherboard
32 MB RAM (originally 8)
3.1 WD HD and old 1 GB HD.
14 or 15" monitor
Logitech three button mouse (to replace defective two button)
Gravis GrIP Multiport (don't use for Doom though and won't work on new Win 98 comp)
4X CD-ROM ("Gives You fast 600KPS transfer rate")
Realtek PCI 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
Runs horribly slow because Winblows 95 hasn't been reinstalled in 3 years since I got WD HD and I never formated.

What's hilarious is the total cost of my new comp is a bit lower than the original cost of my old comp before you even take all the upgrades and replacements into account.
