Specs:
2.4GHz Pentium 4 Processor
254MBs Ram (2mbs burned off in the 5 years I had this comp lol)
128MBs ATI Radeon 9500PRO/9700

Extreme low-end compared to today's computers but fascinatingly, I can run top end games like Half-Life 2 and all its mods with medium-high graphic settings, also with HDR (High Dynamic Ranging) on max. I've been able to run F.E.A.R. with medium settings (the system requirements to run FEAR is like 1gb ram, 256mb video card, ect). I can also run Call of Duty 2 on maximum settings with a DX7 rendering option with 90FPS straight and minimun loading times. Pretty impressive for a 6 year old computer. Bought on sale for 800$ at the time (2001). Probably not going to buy another computer until I get out of HS.
