• 1.023 MHz 8-Bit 6510 CPU
• 64K RAM
• 1541 Disk Drive
• 320x200 Video Res.

Sheesh, and you guys thought you had 'old'....

And, uh...oh yeah, I have a Compaq 180 MHz Cyrix, 16 MB Ram, w/ 4 MB video attached to a crippled Packard Bell 15" monitor.

It was considered the best on the market, at least for gaming...Theres a ton of games available. In fact a lot of people run C64 emulators on their PC to play the games....kinnda cool actually...
The computer & monitor was bought 1985!

I also have a p3700, 128 mb sdram, 20 gig hd sony vaio.

Those 2 are my backups. The 486 is used for word processing only, and the p3 is just there. It's what I use while my main system is unusable, which is not often,
