I think my current computer is a weensy bit better than yours. (As in a lot.)

 

Was your P3 like the one in the picture above or was it like the newer type of CPU with the pins and goes into the motherboard with heatsink on top? Mine was a 766MHz with a 64MB Radeon card. Hours of playing 18 Wheels of Steel.

Mine was the old slot style. And I'm thinking about getting a GTX 650 Ti and a Phenom II X4 925, so we'll be even, except I'll have 2GB of RAM.

My old Nvidia 9600GT… This got me through years of gaming, up to this June, when I got my new GTX 760. It's lying around somewhere, next to my PowerBook G4 box...

Also have a gt6500(i think) in an old pc.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

I wouldn't say "old", but I have an E8400 and a GA-EP45-UD3P sitting underneath my bed and I think I will be rebuilding the beast once again. I'm still going to need an operating system and a case for it though. I used to have a QX9650 and an EVGA 790i SLI board with 3-way SLI 465's, but it fried when my OCZ psu exploded.

We got rid of most of our old P2 and P3 systems in our basement a couple years ago but now we have a lot of P4 stuff, a tiny bit of Core 2 Duo stuff, and a bit of AMD stuff. I think we still have some old RAM sticks in the closet.. (Like before PC100)

An old computer I tore apart that was in our basement from 2000, some Dell that had Windows ME on it. Motherboard was fried in like 2006 when my mother tried upgrading the RAM.

I'm gonna get some pics of my old laptop up soon (like this weekend). Oh, and the title is spelled wrong. "Show of your..." Should be "Show off your..." Just thought I'd point that out.
