If you insist... I primarily play tron on two computers. One is a Intel "RedHat" Based Celeron @ 1.4ghz with 512mb PC133 and PCI 128mb GeForceFX5200. The other is an Intel "RedHat" Based Dual Xeon @ 2.4ghz each with 1024mb PC2100 (DDR266) and a 8X AGP 256mb ATI Radeon9800pro. Both are on my ADSL 2mbit/384kbit (I wonder how many times I've said that on the forums) and share the same Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical PS/2 and Mitsumi AT 105 key Swedish keybaord via a KVM. They also share a Samsung SyncMaster 171MB which is their second 17" version of their multimedia monitor. Happy? You can now find the specs of 3/8 of my computers on the forums...

(For the sake of completeness now...)
(The 1.4ghz has a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1, a Seagate 40gb hd, FireWire with 100gb external hd, ISA SCSI card, 2gb scsi internal hd, a 8x cd-burner, a DVD-ROM, and a 10/100 3Com 3C905-TX/M)
(The Dual Xeon has a SoundBlaster Audigy with the internal drive, a 52x cd-burner, onboard ultra 320scsi, Seagate 36gb 10k RPM scsi drive, 40gb seagate drive (identical 40gb seagate drives in all desktops), and onboard intel 10/100/1000 ethernet.)

There! Be happy! Also, the 1.4 is a Dell Dimension XPS T600 that I upgraded some, it travels nicely. The xeon I built myself. I wonder who is going to post next and say, "wow, I didn't understand any of that." Oh well...

PIII 800mhz / 1256mb / 17" viewsonic

have DSL for the next three months, then i probably lose it.

I was kidding Tank, was going to say TI 1000 but a Sinclair 2000 was my very first "pc" back in 80. It have a keyboard of about 10" x 4" with sensor touch buttons and a tape recorder to put programs on, it was a total joke. Most I could do with it was print name all pretty all over the screen, again and again....original verison of "Hello World"

After that I stepped up to an 8088, (and yes nic -) vic20, then a c64, then a 286,386, etc...still have a mac "toaster style" pc as a door stop.

I really have a pitiful machine but here it is:

Pentium 3, 650 mz, 60 gigs space, 512 ram and a Viper 32 video card with 32 mgs ram, 17" monitor and usr 56k, keyboard is 141 key style and I have lots of accesories including a cyber shot camera and webcam...bummer, eh?

Then you cheat on tournament! No way you could of played like that on a ][e! So, did you cheat, or use a better comp? (I'm thinking better comp...)
