I'm currently rocking an old eMachines w/ 1.67 GHz celeron proc, 256MB of RAM and an amazingly crap-tastic GeForce FX5200.

Thanks.

Graphics card? Whats that? I don't think I have one that can do anything. Umm, maybe it can play some things, but not anything past Half-life 2... well, it can't play that either.
1gb of Ram though. PFft.

To give you an idea of what this bad boy is capable of: Watching YouTube videos eats the entire processor. And even then they're choppy.

I can kind of play the first Half-Life, provided not much is happening on the screen.

My gaming rig is the not-so-mighty Dell XPS 1210 Laptop. It's got some sort of low-power laptop processor, the cheapy laptop graphics card that shares ram with the PC itself, only a gig of ram (under Vista that's almost nothing). It does have two headphone jacks, which is totally sweet.

Not as bad as some out here but

GeForce 6200 (On sale at best buy, used to run an integrated chip so crappy i could barely run Warcraft 3 on low setting. Everyone knows WC3 will run on EVERYTHING)

1.5 gb of ram (Not bad at all really but ram comes in cereal boxes so nothing to write home about)

3200 AMD Athlon XP (From right off the shelf)

My speakers and monitor are pretty good quality stuff, I got a 5.1 surround system and a 20 inch flatscreen.

I wouldnt say its too terrible.

Sadly, my creaky machine still rocks the AGP and is humming along with a paltry 1GB of memory. I just checked to see how much it would cost this pre-DDR2 Dell 4600 to upgrade to 2GB and it caused me immense pain to learn of the approx. $200 price tag. Therefore, I endure painful load times and framerates in TF2. *sniff*
