Post by UBT - Halifax-lad »

Too lazy to look at what computers we all have to crunch on and some are hidden also, so whats the specs of the machines you crunch on :?:

Here's Mine

1.80 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64
1Gb Memory
200Gb Hard Drive
On-board Graphics & Sound
DVD RW
Cable Modem (on 24/7)
Other Miscellaneous Items


Will hopefully add to this at some point in the next 12 - 18 months

So who's next to beat my machine :cry:
