What computer/OS are you using?

[Red-Machine]

Ehwha!?

[stewartsage]

Got a disk for it, but I don't want to wreck a decent computer so ol' Charlotte I is coming out of retirement.

[Red-Machine]

lol, you should rename it Glenda.

[stewartsage]

Perhaps , even if it is doubtful it will work.  She may just end up being the test bed for all my crazy whims.

[Red-Machine]

Yeah, like my Hybrid will be once I get my new gaming computer sorted.  AROS here I come!

[NejinOniwa]

DELTA-II is too nice a girl for anything but...

...on second thought, no, that argument doesn't work that way. Screw it.

I'm trying to re-assmble an old laptop to run Plan 9 from Bell Labs.  Hopefully.....

That's gutsy, I've heard Plan 9 is really tough to work with. But I've also heard it's a very interesting study. :B

!

Oooh, going to try an Amiga-like OS... cool.

[NejinOniwa]

I'm thinking of getting myself a small craptop and installing Puppy as the primary and only OS on it. It'd be fun. And I'd name it something weird, too, and paint its name on the lid. Yeah. Rawr.

Which is why in planning for failure, I have a disk for DSL and FreeDOS!

[Red-Machine]

Oooh, going to try an Amiga-like OS... cool.

Yes, AmigaOS FTW!

[Red-Machine]

Well, finally got my new computer built.  Here's the specs:

3GHz AMD Athlon 64 x2
2GB PC2 6400 RAM
250GB Maxtor HDD
512MB nVidia GeForce 8600GT

All for the grand sum of £200.  Building your own computer really IS the way to go...

Well since everyone post about his new hardware, here is my new stuff to

Acer Apire 9835G Notebook
Intel Q9000 quad core @2,2 GHz
ATI Raedon HD 4670 with 1 GB GDDR 3 RAM
4GB RAM  DDR3 1066
500GB HD ( single disk )
OS â€" Vista Ultimate 64bit>  I did some changes on the O/S so now it Nahas the Nanami Style and Sound Settings of the Japanese Win7 Ultimate Version

Acer Aspire One D250 Netbook
Intel Atom N280 single core HT  @ 1,7GHz
Intel GMA4500 Graphics  Card with 64 MB Shared Memory
2GB RAM  DDR2 667
160 GB HD
OS-Vista Home Premium 32bit Nanami Style

Acer aspire Revo 3600 Nettop for watching DVD and HD movies on my HDTV ( 32inch screen )
Intel Atom 230 single core HT @ 1,7GHz
Nvidia Ion Chipset with Graphic  256MB shared RAM
2GB RAM  DDR2  667
160 GB HD
OS-Vista Home Premium 32bit Nanami Style

Acer Extensa 3000WLiM_A  ( now the oldest compute but still performs well with vista )
Intel Pentium M710 single core @ 1,4 GHz
ATI Mobility Raedon 9700 with 64 MB
2GB RAM DDR1 333
80GB HD
OS-Vista Home Premium 32bit Nanami Style  / Windows Xp MCE2003


Now some of you will ask why I don’t switch to win7 , well to be honest there is no reason  from the software side. The Kernel is the same and there are no really new functions , beside the task bar.
The better performance 5%  is caused by the newer drivers from the manufacture , but what is 5 % ?
Overall it’s a good O/S with a good stability but the look and feel is dull, they sould have keep  the vista like task bar with the new functions . If you have some hardware and only vista drivers , they run also on Win 7 and its also the opposide, win7 drivers run also on vista. I have a win7 license and used the Ultimate 64bit for 2 weeks but I had several problems with the ACPI power management , wich is important for notebooks , ( stand by mode and wake up / switching off of inactive devices and restarting them )
To make it shot, if win7 have been released in 2010 the programmers , may had more time to fix such small but nagging bugs.

First you come up as OS/2 in the "what OS are you test", and now this? Evidence of your awesomeness is growing. ^^

Since K8 is down and out (AGAAAAAAIN) I'm back to good ol' Mac OSX w/ XP and Win 2.0 running under emulator. I'm trying to get OS/2 to work in Virtualbox, but boot floppies are being a pain-in-the-ars--

[Red-Machine]

I have OS/2 working in a virtual box.  But I actually have a USB floppy drive to use with it...
