Well, this is not some PC sitting in the closet, but my only PC at home:
- Celeron 300
- 384 Megs or RAM
- 8 Megs 3DFX Voodoo 3 (or is it Voodoo 2?) gfx card
- Bought a 20 Gig HD last year
Running XP Pro, and all the latest apps, including Flash MX, Deamweaver MX and Photoshop 7.
It gets the job done. Not too quickly mind you.
