Falcon NW 5.5

512MB of RAM (upgraded to 768MB... I was trying to get it up to 1024 but they had put two 256 sticks instead of one 512 stick in there :evil: )

AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (2.08 GHz)
111 GB hard disk
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
CD-RW and a DVD-ROM drive

and a very shiny Sony flatscreen monitor :D

I will probably build my next one... but I haven't been the game junkie I used to be, so I'm not racing to get ahead of the curve anymore.

I might upgrade (for free :) ) to 512 MB SD RAM. I know someone with two extra sticks. Hopefully my computer has two slots, it should. I know for sure that I'm building my next computer, I just have to stop spending money for three straight months.
