A very dumb question...... - GoFuckYourself.com

My g/f is getting a computer from her granddaughter who got a new one this year. The one that's being sent to my friend was new back in 97' so I said I hope it's not garbage, she got mad of course but don't you think it's a little old? I mean come on TF had one made for him and it cost about $1,000 and that was in 2003 and that's a little out dated. I don't know she'll just have to be mad I guess.

I have no clue what kind it is but being that old it can't be the best can it?

1997 = 266mhz processor FUCKIN MAX dude. 64 megs of RAM if your lucky. The only use for that? Drunken hammer party in the driveway... give all of your friends a hammer, drink shots - once drunk enough beat it with the hammer and laugh. Rinse, repeat.

A '97 computer would make a great exhibit at the Smithsonian.

Typically I consider my 'puter to be outdated every 6 months from being new.

u-Bob · 02-04-2006, 09:53 AM

can you say "slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooow"?

TurboAngel · 02-06-2006, 12:02 PM

I thought so myself. Thanks.

Sosa · 02-06-2006, 12:09 PM

going to be slow as fuck for sure. max I would say is a 500-733 Mhz. It will get on the internet, that is about it though.

HorseShit · 02-06-2006, 12:10 PM

scrape together a couple hundred and buy a new computer, wow.

woj · 02-06-2006, 12:23 PM

hardly worth the trouble of sending it, now a days you can get a low-end computer for $300, and that would be 10x faster than the 1997 computer you have...

1997 was the year of the 486 etc.

Persignup Dustin · 02-06-2006, 12:26 PM

Yeah does that mofo even HAVE a port for an ethernet card???

G-Rotica · 02-06-2006, 12:39 PM

It would make a good boat anchor.

candyflip · 02-06-2006, 12:41 PM

They have $300 Celerons with Monitor from Dell.

Anyone taking a hand me down computer is a cheap bastard in my opinion.

Places that take computer donations won't even touch those they're so worthless.

No way would it be that high. 733 was the shiznit in 2000, i got a computer in July of 2000 for $2500 and it was P3 733

For '97, 266-300mhz TOPS. I'd assume that the computer was bought on a budget then, so my best guess would be Pentium MMX 233 mhz, 32mb ram

.. Which is only good for smashing with a hammer as mentioned in some threads above

WebairGerard · 02-06-2006, 12:52 PM

sounds like a free paper weight she's getting

The Ghost · 02-06-2006, 12:54 PM

I'll trade straight up for this one..

It's just sitting in my garage. waiting for a new mommy and daddy.

Raven · 02-06-2006, 12:58 PM

I don't think you were out of line. I think maybe she doesn't understand computers and how fast they go out of date.

baddog · 02-06-2006, 01:08 PM

buggy whips are outdated too

She doesn't unfortunately and gt mad when I tried to tell her just to get a new one. I wish one time someone would listen to me.

butterflybucks · 02-06-2006, 01:12 PM

I would beat it with a sledge hammer.....then sit down quietly and eat cake!

everestcash · 02-06-2006, 01:13 PM

don't install anything 'heavyweight' on it, windows 95 or 98 is the way to go.

That happens so frequently with those who don't 'get it'. Sigh.

RayBonga · 02-06-2006, 01:42 PM

Don't listen to this guys.

It's still good to download porn on the interweb and that is all that matters.
