Slowest Computer You've Used

[Ridge Racer]

You mean those old Tandy's with the big ole 5 1/2" floppy discs? :lol:

lol i remember those not quite my generation i was born into the techno land of small floppy's. :lol:

Although i do remember some ancient black keyboard that had keys that stuck out like a miniturised Type writter.

Hey back when I was in 7th and 8th grades we used to use those Apple computers that had the big ole keyboards that were ten times heavier than most laptops today. I mean way back when. Windows didn't exist yet when I first started using computers. :lol:

The slowest clocked thing I personally had was a 386 something or other used for an ancient ancestor of word perfect.

Probably the slowest clocked thing I have used was a school pc with like the old old discs before floppies the big 5-6 inch black weird LP looking things.

Actualy slowest in time pc i have ever had the garce to use is the gf's parent's computer. Tis a Vulcan PIII 933mhz running xp.

It took the computer 15 seconds to load up the right click taskbar. :shock: Booting it up takes a good 13 minutes. And it wont shut down.

Slowest would have to be any of the 1MHz 6502 based Apple and Atari computers of the late 70s-early 80s.

The lowest standard memory in a computer I've ever used is the 2KB in the Timex Sinclair 1000.

I used a commodore vic20. I don't remember the specs. I do remember using it to program myself a phonebook in basic though. It was amazing at the time. Oh did I dream about the day I could use a 128 :shock:

The one sitting in the corner of the room which I don't use.
It has Windows 98 and the disk is all fragmented but disk defragmentor won't work. It just sits around 0 or 1%, moving up and down from 0 to 1.

My first and slowest computer:
clock speed: 20MHz
Ram: I really don't remember but it was less then 1mb
HDD: 40mb.

I still remember the sales man telling me that this computer is extermally fast! :roll:

Matter what you define computer as, and what you mean by speed... Though in the sense you mean it, I've used a Commodore 64 @ 1MHz. Slowest computer I've owned is a 386 @ ~33MHz.
