Intel was retarded enough to make a CPU well after the Pentium III that is actually slower  :blink: . 

 

This waaaaas a mobile processor in a netbook that was a fraction of the size of a P3 machine though :P 

 

So I mean its not that surprising, it wasn't meant to perform well

Don't remember the specs exactly but the computer was a Dell Dimension 4600. I played Max Payne at 15 FPS, childhood memories.

Self built was very happy with it. It had a Pentium 3 800MHz, 128mb sd-ram, 20GB hdd, a floppy drive, ATi 2MB AGP video card, generic case w/psu, Creative sound card, CD-ROM,  56K modem, Windows Me. The build lasted about 5 years, where it skipped 3 generations of Pentium 4 and right when Intel introduced their dual core Pentium D.

I'm actually very curious to see how bad everyone else's PC's were before they got their ultra mega super awesome gaming builds.

 

Mine was some Dell desktop that we got from Walmart. Had 4 gigs of memory and on-board graphics. EWWW.

 

I still have my 1st laptop, and it's still my laptop till i buy a new rig.

 

It's freaking old xD core2duo, 4gb ram, gt 320m 1gb, 300gb storage xD i can't even record in proper conditions to my channel. which if u wanna check : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V31OVWPhWyQ

 

But yeah, still saving money for a gaming rig

Athlon 64 x2 3800+, 1GB DDR2 800, GeForce 6100 onboard graphics.

Ran that config from 2006 to late 2012 when I upgraded to an X1300 Pro and 3GB RAM. Late 2013 swapped out to a GT630 and went up to 4GB.

Nothing beat waiting years for games to load, and then running source games at 640x480 and still lagging. PC now holds the slowest Valley Basic score here.

LTT's fastest Valley 970, slowest Valley Basic and Extreme HD scores

 

Desktop || CPU - i5 4690k || Motherboard - ASUS Gryphon Z97 || RAM - 16GB Kingston HyperX 1866MHz || GPU - Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 *Cough* 3.5GB || Case - Fractal Design Define R5 || HDD - Seagate Barracuda 160GB || PSU - Corsair AX760

Oh...my first was a real "warmachine"(or maybe closer to "washmashine").

If I remember correctly it was:

S3 Trio3D

Pentium 2

32MB Ram

3GB HDD

And hugely overpriced, as my whole family were computer noobs at that time.
