RE: Whats in your computer(s)?

Well.... Here's the stuff I can take out of my head right now.

Brother's crappy desktop computer:

- Currently, Windows 98SE. Before the HD died, we had 2 installations of Windows XP Professional Edition with Service Pack 1 and another one of Windows 98SE (boy, how I miss that redundancy now).
- Some Microstar motherboard based on some VIA chipset.
- Creative SoundBlaster onboard.
- Two USB ports or so, tons of other sockets, no USB 2 (I guess), no FireWire, no wireless stuff.
- Intel Celeron at approx. 633MHz.
- 128MB of some crappy kind of RAM.
- Currently, a 505MB (

) Western Digital Caviar. Before it died, we had an IBM Deskstar with approx. 41GB. We gotta get that fixed.
- Philips CDRW (24x CD-R writing speed).
- Creative PC-DVD (6x).
- Creative DXR3 DVD encryption card.
- A broken Floppy drive.

- Two NIC cards: One for having a VPN with the ADSL transceiver, the other for having a LAN with the mobile computer.
- We had a 56KBPS dial-up modem, but we had to remove it because we only have 2 PCI slots.

- Some Asus AGP thingie with nVidia GeForce 2 MX.
- Power Supply? I dunno.
- Creative 2.1 speaker system.
- MAG Innovision 786FD, which is a 17" (16" viewable

) CRT display.

Dad's "okay" mobile computer (I know less about it):

- Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 1 and all the updates.
- Compaq Presario 2100 Series (full-featured Presario).
- Two USB ports, tons of other sockets, no USB 2 (I guess), no FireWire, no wireless stuff.
- Intel Celeron (

) at approx. 2.0GHz, not mobile (but that's okay, as we usually use it plugged into the power grid).
- 256MB of RAM, dunno what kind. 64MB of the RAM is used by the graphics card; Windows gets 192MB.
- CDRW/DVD, not sure about speeds. :-/

:-/

- 30GB HD.
- Neatly designed computer body, not too slick though (it's a little... well, fat). But that doesn't bother me as much as the weight. On the other hand, the weight makes it more stable when using it on a desktop.
- The usual annoying KeyPad, TouchPad, two weak speakers, not sure about a mic.
- 15" (or was it 15.1"? :-/

:-/

) LCD TFT display.
