486-50 I still have it, how ever, it is now a P-1 233.
P-1 160 still have it.
P-2 333 MMX. It is now a P-3 600, I still have it.
P-4 1.6 gig. still have it.
P-4 2.8 gig. I'm typing on it.

At my old job, started with TSR 80 and then 286 what ever.

Just wondering, but what do you do with them?

Atari 2600 - I remember that day I woke up about 8am on a Saturday morning, played Megalomania straight to about 6pm and beat it. 1 million points and full health. And to my great fear, at about 5pm my mum actually almost turned off the Atari to make me stop playing it, luckily my Dad stopped her and explained to her why its important not to turn it off like that.


Amiga 500 - Does this console still hold the crown for the MOST games? Monkey Island, Civilization 1 and 2, Supercars, list goes on and on, the Amiga owns all consoles.


486
PII 133mhz
AMD 450mhz
AMD64 3.0ghz

Interestingly, the price on all of these systems has never really changed.

286 (Family computer) - A gift from my Grandmother. Oh No More Lemmings!
486 40Mhz 4MB ram (family computer) - Because the 286 broke. Played Doom and C&C (barely).
Pentium 166Mhz (family computer) - The 486 was too slow and broken. Duke Nukem, Red Alert... good times.

Nintendo 64 - My first personal gaming machine.
AMD 450MHz w/ 64mb ram - My first computer! One of the first games I played was Half Life and later CS. Since I was at university I played many, many games (mmmm uni network piracy). I suspect it was the computer I was stuck with the longest.
AMD XP 1600 w/512mb ram - The 450Mhz machine was getting to be a real drag (while parents are still using the Pentium 166).
AMD 64 3000 w/1024mb ram - Just got it last year because the XP1600 was a bit slow for playing WoW and other modern games.
A non-spectacular Toshiba Laptop. I got it to network with my computer for troubleshooting purposes (and to get replacement parts online should my main computer die), and for using Thotbot while playing WoW and of course playing computer games while doing MC raids in WoW.
