The Computer Thread
#24
RE: The Computer Thread
I have 3... 4 computers at home.
The main desktop, bought in 2007: core 2 Duo at 1.8GHz or something... 2GB RAM. Originally had a nvidia 8600 (failed 2 months after the warranty), now has a nvidia GT430. 19" 4:3 screen. win7 home. Nowadays used mostly for browsing the net and for the kids to play on emulators. Managed to play the latest Tomb Raider on it with most of the graphical stuff turned on and in sensible ranges.

My laptop (technically, not at home right now): bought in 2009, core 2 duo at 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM and a nvidia 103m or something crappy like that. Win7 home. Good enough to play World of Tanks at about 20fps with most fancy graphics turned off.

The kids' netbook: intel atom at 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM, win7 home. the kids use it for emulators, mostly... N64 and GBA.

Then.... there's the tiny Raspbery pi, with a 32GB USB stick attached, running raspbian and serving a few services.... https, ssh, a mediawiki... and that's it, I think. I need to buy a secondary SDcard to keep XBMC and switch when I want to use that thing connected to the TV.
