From best to worst(According to SETI@home) EDITED TO INCLUDE VIDEOCARDS!
Neverfear, an intelMac with a core2duo T7600 @2.33ghz. 2GB of RAM, OS X 10.4.11, Vidcard is a ATI Radeon X1600 with 256MB of VRAM, on a PCIeX16 bus

Eclipse, a dell with a pentium4(Prescott)@ 2.8ghz Hyper threading enabled. 512MB of RAM. Windows XP Home. Integrated intel video

ABYSS, a self built with a Celeron D Cedar mill @ 3.06-3.7ghz(depending on what I have it clocked at, which depends on room temperature), 512MB of RAM, Winblows Server 2003, with a Nvidia Geforce 6200 OC made by BFG, on a AGP 8x slot

Event-Horizon, a Gateway with a Pentium3(copper mine) @1ghz, 192MB of RAM, also running winblows server 2003, with a Nvidia RIVA TNT2 32MB of SDRAM, on a AGP 4x connection

LAPPY, a Dell laptop, with a Celeron M@ 1.4ghz, 256MB of RAM, running Windows XP Home, integrated intel video

Shop-Works, a self built Pentium1 @233mhz, 64MB of RAM, Running Windows 2000 Professional. integrated(I have no idea what sort..) video


At least 2 of those will be running Linux, redhat flavors, in the next month or so. Probably ABYSS and Event-Horizon, with Fedora 8(or 9) for ABYSS and CentOS for Event-Horizon
I also have a Pentium1 laptop, with 16MB of RAM, running at 133mhz, Windows98SE, and no networking hardware.

So, what boxes do you run? Are they just as crappy as most of mine, worse? Better?

Mine is in order from Best (working) to Worse (broken):

SE-03, my Acer Aspire 5100 Lappy with a AMD Turion 64 x2 @ 1.8GHZ 1 GB RAM, openSUSE 10.3

SE-02, my eMachines Desktop with a Intel Celeron D @ 3.33GHZ 512MB RAM (sadly) Windows Vista (been touched for the first time this year when my mom needed to do her taxes)/openSUSE 10.3 (on almost 24/7)

Unnamed, a Gateway box with a Intel Pentium 3 (copper mine) @~1 Ghz 512 MB RAM no HDD

Unnamed, a ancient NEC tower with a PII 218MB RAM, Bad MB, no HDD

SE-01, (My first Linux box) IBM NetVista All in One, no processor, no HDD, no RAM (scrapted it because the built-in LCD screen when out on me, and I have never been able to motivate myself to buy a new NetVista)

And I have installed Fedora 8 on ABYSS, killed Windows Server 2003 in the process though. Windows 2000 Professional still works though.
And now, to slowly kill my noobbiness in Linux and learn how to use the command line. Might remove my CD-ROM drive and put it in my server later so I can put CentOS on it.
EDIT: Fedora 8 didn't seem to like my AGP Nvidia Geforce 6200, for some reason.. spent a few hours trying to make it work..and it just didn't. So I installed Ubuntu 7.10, after install it took less than a minute.. how bothersome, I don't really like ubuntu at all, but getting my videocard to work was a little more important to me.
(The opensource NV driver just isn't good enough for my needs just yet)

What do you mean it doesn't like your Nvidia card? Does it not want to detect it or what? Sadly neather open source drivers fit anyones needs yet. Neather ATI or Nvida's OSS drivers have full 3d rendering support, although the 3rd party OSS Radeon driver supports several cards and can offer 3D rendering as well as Compost support so you can run your Compiz-fusion with it.

It detected it, and used the NV driver. It however, would not allow me to install nVidia's proprietary driver, thought it might after it installed the kernel that came with the package(from Livna), but it wouldn't boot. Also, using the installer from nVidia's site, it just couldn't work, even after installing all the packages (make, gcc, etc) that it wanted me to.
Also, I'm having a better experience with ubuntu this time around, thus far, beyond just the quick and easy enabling of nVidia's proprietary driver.

Fedora is just flaky good to hear that you are having better luck with Ubuntu though.

Have a look at this HowTo on resetting the root password on a SUSE system, from there you will be able to reset your user password as well. http://wiki.suselinuxsupport.de/wikka.php?wakka=HowToResetlostrootpassword
