Post here if you think you have the slowest computer that you use to post stuff on ntfs.org. Im sure we can get lower than 266mhz :p
 
try a 1200mhz that feels like a 266mhz cuz i havent defragmented in a while and if i do it still doesnt help a lot, need to format this really soon
 
I looked at this site once with a 75MHz 486DX laptop, it has an amazing 32MB of RAM cause we upgraded it and 380MB of hard drive space :p
 
133Mhz Cyrix CPU, 16MB Memory, 2.5gb HDD

Slower than a Pentium I believe :D :D no longer in use though, no graphics card.
 
I have slower machines that still work but, they are not internet ready.

My slowest machine that still works very well is as follows:

Damn, thats indeed a classic.

Slowes machine i used? Was with lynx, on 4 or 8 Mhz box, running FreeBSD 1.1. It had 2 MB ram, and old ISA dial in modem that worked :p, and a 400 MB drive slave drive, and a 20 MB master drive.
 
I remember our school lab getting Classics. We were amazed, no more green monochrome AppleIIes! Wow! You could actually change text color and font with this thing -- and what kind of disc do you put in there?! :D
 
lol i remember the computers with Green text at school in 96

Slowest iv been on internet is

133 Petium
1.8 gb
16 mb

I think lol way hagessssssssssssssss ago
 
lol i grew up on green text computers, your not gona belive it but all the stock control computers @ tesco still use green screen monitors ;)
 
Also have three of these and an external modem that might work with some upgrades:

I need to find a digital cam to take some pics. I have a veritable museum of computers and parts over here.

Slowest I've used recently was a 286.

Still have a 486DX2/550MB hdd/36MB Ram that i can go online with. Use it for mp3 file server and mp3 playback.
 
At work I have a 75mhz running win95 as a print server in the laboratory. Works really well! Can't remember the last time it was rebooted. It might be a good candidate for the uptime team :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
