I currently work on a PII, 196MB of ram, mostly fine unless I need to do CE.Net stuff in which case it takes an actual hour per compile. But that <<< I can live with, I just wanted to post the "worst" computer I still regularly use because it is beautiful:

This "Laptop" ^^^ takes 10 D cell (non-rechargable) batteries. Its processor speed is getting on for 1000 times slower than a modern PC. It is enormous.
I was nearly the proud owner of a PDP-11 (worth around $14000 AFAIK in 1971, free to a good home in 1996:) but at the time I was still living with my parents and they wouldn't have given me the room to store it.

That's nothing I was on a 400Mhz PPC G3 processor laptop, that's right, a G3! they're excellent in being very quiet and rarely get hot, but bloody 'ell, it's slow, that Photoshop take a bloody long time to render a single fliter on a 640x480 image! I brought that PowerBook G3 in Feburary 2000, it's the dog's bollocks back then, 6GB HD, DVD-ROM, 64MB RAM, 400MHz, 2x Firewire, PC card slot, etc. pure performance, until 6 years later.
the best thing about it is that the latest OS 10.4 are supported, and the maxed 512MB RAM can be uppen to 1GB even.
Final Cut Pro is out of the question.
I'm now using the last, most powerful G4 running at 1.67Ghz (15inch) and loving it, MacBook Pro is out of the question considering what I'm doing for uni.
oh and did I mention it has 8MB of VRAM? I even play Return To Castle Wolfenstein in it smoothly, thought the games IS old...

I'm sitting at 256MB ram and I get annoyed with it running slow.

ahh, Remember back then? in like, 2001 or 1999, where 128MB of RAM seemed rather speedy?
I remember I use to have a DELL Inspiron 2500, it has 900Mhz PIII, 128MB RAM, Windows XP, CD-RW/DVD, 20GB of hard drive space, and I just realise it was 'fine', and now we all need at least 512MB of RAM! while still having the same OS (with the expection of the Windows Service Packs)
bilmey, it wasn't long ago I have a Mac with 64mb of RAM running OS 9, and declared it was the fastest computer I've owned in 2000.
