NO! Whatever you do, do not choose Windows XP over Windows 2000. 2K is far superior to XP.

Of course, the self-selecting nature of replies to this thread might bias the results of the survey in favour of higher-end machines as people with powerful PCs are maybe more liekly to want to brag about them?  

In which case, to offset this, I'll add the most rubbsih PC I own:

Pentium 120, No idea, 16Mb RAM, Windows 95, no, no

or if you'd consider other platforms:

Spectrum (4Mhz Z80 processor), Specc GFX, 48K RAM, Spectrum BASIC, no, no

4) What operating system do you use to play games?
Windows XP

5) Do you think you are going to upgrade your system or buy a new one within the next two years?
Maybe...

6) (If upgrade) What part of your system do you plan to upgrade?[/b]
Video card (very likely), DVD burner (very likely). New box with motherboard, CPU and ram (less likely, say 50/50 chance)

As much as i love today's high performace computers. There is one computer that will always have a special place in my heart.

The Tandy 1000.

That was an amazing machine for its time, and the first computer i ever used to write my own adventure games in BASIC.

I used to use an old program called Micro-Illustrator to draw my graphics in and then import them to BASIC, so i could use them in my games.

I'm thinking about looking on Ebay to find one of them.

Oh, how i miss it.

1) P4 2.6GB

2) GeForce FX 5200 with 128Mb RAM.

3) 512MB

4) Well I only really play AGS games and games From GF backward, GF is about the only one that needs a graphics card. But I use XP (98 on my other one)

5) It is entirely possible but really only if something fucks up

6) Monitor is about the only thing I could get to make things better, Ahhh and a larger HD and maybe some more RAM

Dude, I still have one in my basement. My dad brought it home when I was 7, the Tandy 1000 is what I taught myself how to type on, my first computer I used BASIC on... I feel you. Ours had an "optional upgrade" of a 20 meg HDD for like, a trillion bucks. Fortunately my dad was a previous generation geek.

well, i guess i should sleep now. Talking too much nonsense...

[Domino]

C'mon Czar, where's your sense of Nostalgia?

Todays computers are great and all, but sometimes they just don't compare to the innocence of the early computer era.

Without the computers of the good 'ol days, where would computer technology be now.

Damn, i still use Radio Shack computers at work.

They may be ancient, but they get the job done.

and as for the C64, didn't that thing hook up to a television set?  Because my friend many years ago had one, and i just remember playing with the C64 on the TV.

Yeah...
i know. i remember the times where 7 of us would get infront of the Amiga 500 ( i know its a bit higher compared to teh ZX and C 64..) and we would put Mig 29. Then we would pretend that we are all in that jet, but we could never start that damn thing. Tho once we moved a wing to the left.
That started a massive euphoria amongst us. It could last for hours... Aaahhh.
You're right.
