Got my emachines E4500 computer at Christmas 2007.

Suppose a lot of it is out of date now, but I've not got a great knowledge of computer hardware to upgrade.

I have a HP DC7100 SFF business PC, it's from about 2005. I got it from a bank that were having a clear out. All the way back in 2005 it was worth £700, now they go on ebay for about £20 :p It's a 3ghz with 1gb of ram still runs pretty fast, Vista compatible too (not that I'll ever touch Vista..)

My current computer is around 4-6 years old. It's soon time for a new one hehe, I formatted it for the first time a few months ago.

2 1/2 year old eMachines T3504
9 year old Power Mac G4

The sad thing is that the Mac is just as fast as the eMachines PC
haha

Apple Titanium PowerBook G4 from Oct 2001. So 7.5 years and still running good. A little slow at times but I still love using it. Looking to buy either an iMac or a MacBook later this year.
It's only got a 550Mhz processor, but it is still faster than the 1.5Ghz PCs I use regularly. Mine has had some memory and HD upgrades though.

depends on what parts you consider to be it's age.

My comp is custom built.

Got the case jan 08, used an amd mobile 3400+ proc (which came out of a dead laptop), 8400gs, so it was pretty low-end.

around april-june, i upgraded the core parts of the comp. Upgraded to a Q6600 proc, eVGA 680i mobo and 4GB OCz DDR2 Ram. Didn't worry much about the gpu because i played low-end games (wolf:et, tce).

Christmas time comes around, upgrade psu, vid card (9800gt), and new kbd/mouse.

Just last week, upgrade my 19" monitor for a 24" asus, and bought a plantronics gamecom 777 on wednesday.

My computer sucks XD

Its pretty fast though due to programs such as ccleaner, tune up 08, ext.

My is a Compaq Presario (dont remember the model #), made in 2004

It have a Celeron 2.7Ghz single core, 1GB of ram, 1 80GB hard drive with linux, dual booted with a 40gb hard drive with XP, a POS intel integrated 845G video card, motherboard does not have a AGP or PCIe slot so i'm screwed.

Celeron!? Ewww. Poor you. Can you do anything on your computer???

My computers probably about 4-5 years old, if not older. Definately time to upgrade.

My old gaming computer used a Celeron 2.4Ghz chip and it ran fine and still runs fine :biggrin:. I also have a hand me down Dell here that runs a 1.8GHz Celeron and it's fine as well.

odd. From my experience, the celeron is a crippled chip and I've found it to be rather slow, but then, I've never run something that's as fast as 2.4Ghz.

The Celerons are in fact crippled mainly due to the L2 cache as well as their efficiency.
