Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

It's ironic that you have to pay 15 bucks for a 20 year old machine (15 bucks too much, by the way) but you got your Phenom X6 rig for free. :rolleyes:

I think they wanted $15 for it. It was an old HP Pavilion. I don't know the exact model number but it is one from the '90s and it has a purple plastic swing-out door on the front that reveals a DVD-ROM drive and a floppy disk drive.

I might reimage it into Linux and use it as a terrible server.

Don't buy that, you can easily find better machines for free.
 
Thing is, will a VM take over my HDD and processor and make it near-impossible to game? I log about 20 hours of TF2 weekly on this thing.
 
If you are running intensive things int he VM, yes. Generally no. You could always grab a small laptop HDD from a broken laptop and point the VM file there. If you were planning on having the server hosted by a Windows 95 PC then you probably aren't going to take much off of your Phenom x6.
 
I just want to host something like a forum (PHPBB). The only thing I am afraid of is it bogging down my internet speeds at home. All I have is gigabit DSL-over-ethernet.

I have a craptop with a 120GB HDD but it is such an old piece of [you know what] that it isn't even worth trying with.

A Windows 95 era PC will not be capable of hosting that. The "craptop" you have sounds higher spec than a Windows 95 machine.

What do you mean you have "gigabit DSL-over-ethernet"? What speeds do you get?

The words DSL in it tells me its not any higher than 10mbps at best haha. I havent even seen a DSL connection faster than 8mbps.

Im running 2mpbs on a cable connection.....
 
In the process of sorting out the wires !.... Honest !​

I think you need your VCR with those speeds since Netflix and any other online renting solution would basiscaly just not run. Are you subscribed to the 768 Kbks or 3 Mbps? I assume 768 since that's the best you've gotten in a while.

Still, you should be getting way a better ping.

We can get DSL out here with 40/20 speeds, in varying areas. But other areas get oversubbed and you end with less. it varies.

I would like to see that. I suppose it would be possible if you lived right next door to the provider, but I couldnt imagine a DSL line running 40mpbs down and 20mbps up.

I was only about 4 miles away from my DSL provider where I live, and I paid for their highest (10mpbs) speed and I only ever got 8mpbs at the most.
