Phys. Mem: 256 MB
Available Phys. Mem.: 51.33

I can list other things if you need for more comparisons.

Well, it was pretty horrible up until about a year ago since we had Dial-Up. Yes, we had Dial up from 2000-2006.

I still remember my crap computer that fried.

Pentium 3 866MHz 256MB RAM, Intergrated graphics card, and it ran 2000 originally, until I downloaded XP pro.

Mine ran 2000 as well, got that crap outta there for XP within the month.

I got a budget PC from 2005

1.8 GHz processor, AMD Sempron 3200+

1.2 GB of RAM (upgraded from 256 MB....how they got away with that in 2005 is beyond me)

80 GB HDD....it said 80 on the box....it's only about 68 GB....

ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Integrated Graphics card 256MB....it sucks, can barely run Halo on lowest settings. Older games run beautifully though.
               
7 USB 2.0 ports
CD Writer/DVD drive
one expansion bay
5 PCI slots
4 RAM slots
built in multi card reader
2 Firewire ports
Parallel port
2 PS/2 ports

WinXP Home Edition, 32 Bit

may sound awful, but it's a major improvement on the 1999 rig I had back in '04....and it was a blessing after being without a PC for a year.

I can hardly run Halo on mine. The visuals look like they're from early-PS2 era with my card.
