Comment My odest gear. (Score 1) 1705
My oldest actively used machine is my firewall. It's a Cyrix 486DX2-66 on some oddball VESA mobo. 1.2GB drive, 48MB RAM, Mach32 VESA video card, two ISA NICs. The 2X Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive died just a couple months ago. The floppy still works OK. Never had a single hardware failure in the beast since I got it in 1994.
It has been my firewall for many years now but alas, I am finally getting ready to "upgrade" it to a Pentium 200 MMX. With increasing DSL speeds RP-PPPOE is really starting to peg the CPU, and I can't get the bandwidth I should be getting.
I also get my Commodore 64 out once in a while to play Bruce Lee. My daughter loves it.
