Hi, I'm JaxxMarron, and I am hosting this year's "Worst Computer Awards"!

If you think that you have a really bad computer, post here with your computer information (nothing too personal or that can be stolen and used for evil), and you will automatically be entered to win: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! Yay!!

Right Click on My Computer and scroll down to Properties.

Ok! I'm entering as well, by the way!

My Computer:
OS - Microsoft Windows ME
Ram - 2.55.0MB
Virtual Memory - 32bit

Hewlett-Packard
Pavilion
GenuineIntel
Pentium(r) III processor

Age: ~8 YEARS OLD

--Beat that!

Nope. My mom has a 3 year old eMachine, it works better than my Pavilion.

NEXT!
You can't host it if you can't accept the fact that not everyone has a Windows machine. Your directions are for a Windows machine.

Operating System - Commodore BASIC 2.0
RAM - 64KB
What virtual memory? :P
ROM - 20KB

MOS Technology 6510
1.02 MHz

Age = ~1-2 Decades

Beat that!

Someone go find Crashed and Gooseheaded. They'll probably be the best competition.

Huh? Macs tend to work. Compaqs tend to not so much. Hurray for sporadic freezing that lasts 5 minutes whenever you try to download or install something! :)

God I remember emachines laptops.

*Shudders*

I'm glad they are no longer made

I nominate my Nan's PC and my local youth club's. I don't know the stats, but they SUCK.

Nan's PC has trouble with what I make using MMF (go Google) and the local youth club lags hard while running a game with these requirements:

450 Mhz processor
Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP
16 MB 3D accelerated video card
64 MB RAM
DirectX 8.1

What? That computer was awesome in its days. Mine has sucked since day 1. Plus I have used mine since I bought it.

Operating System: Windows 98SE (best thing on this computer)
RAM: 64 MB PC100 (some unknown brand? This RAM is so old that CPU-Z doesn't pick it up)
Video: SiS 530/620 integrated - 8 megabytes of shared memory (means I really only have 56 megabytes of ram!)
CPU: AMD K6-2 475 MHz
Make: COMPAQ Presario

It's been my PC for about 7 or 8 years, and it's all I have to play games, make games, and do any sort of programming.

Edit:
Forgot to mention, in total my mom paid $3,000 CAD for this machine. $1,000 towards a desk, and the rest into the actual computer and accessories. We got a printer and a scanner with it, which I assume bundled to another $300+. This was a time where printers weren't too common, and scanners were even more scarce. All I can say is I was maybe 10 years old, so it's not like I had a choice in what computer we got :-P.

Edit2:

Congratulations! You are all <s>losers</s> winners!
