So what's the average computer used for skinning?
Sunday, August 4, 2002 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
A Pentium 3, 1Ghz machine with a Geforce 2 level card running at 1024x768.
The number of people running at less than 600mhz was roughly the same as the number of people running over 2ghz.
The highpoint was somewhere around 1Ghz with it possibly being slightly higher.
Does anyone have any data on what the typical machine used by the general population is? It would make an interesting comparison.

I wonder how many people would actually be using an Athlon/Duron rather than a Pentium . . .

kryo .... yes ....when I think about it again this one might just be the .... um .... deadest ever.
There have been 'older' threads....but their second coming was also years ago so the time-left-dead may have been less...

The box I'm on now, my "lounging" machine, before I gutted it for its case had an 1800 XP in it and 256 MBs of RAM. It was probably a fine rig when this thread was started. 
It still worked but....seriously. The custom case is unique and was all I wanted to use from it. I upgraded it a bit with the innards from an eMachines T3104 w/Sempron3100+/1.5GBs DDR3200, an FX5200 GFX card and a 100GB HDD It sits in the living room as a media center/browser and runs XP HP. Laugh all you want, but it is actually a solid, reliable machine. It runs 24/7. All the Stardock goodies (and some great skins) on it keep the ugly off of it.
Main rig: Windows7/8
AMD 9850BE Quad Core
EVGA 450GTS
8GBs DDR2 RAM @800MHz
600 watt PSU
120GB OCZ SSD (OS)
640 GB WD HDD
250GB Maxtor HDD
CoolerMaster Centurion 5 case.
CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 CPU cooler
Card reader
Front mounted 5 fan controller
It hasn't been on much lately, no free time, so the old relic is my "go to" box.
