most hated hardware configuration ever ?

[jojo69]

So, I got one on the bench right now

Dell, P4 Willamette core 1.4GHz with RDRAM.

The Vregs are on their own weird daughter board, plastic case...

I honestly think this is the biggest POS I have ever seen, I have a PIII 1.3GHz mATX in a cnc box that does twice the work of this thing, The last word Tualatin retro rig in my sig runs circles around that.

I had heard stories about these, but holy hell, what was Intel thinking?

Anyway, just for fun, what is your most hated rig ever?

Hey man, I once had a dell with good ol overpriced RDRAM

It was alright back in the day, other than being a prebuilt. My next move was to a 2.8C Northwood that OC'd to 3.4-3.5. Great chip!

The Intel 915 chipset

Probably an Athlon XP machine I had when those were current. I kept having issues with it and replaced many parts before figuring out the processor was bad.

Gateway computer my dad bought along time ago b/c the salesmen said it was good for gaming. As I started to get into PC gaming I quickly realized it was a POS once C&C Renegade and BF1942 came out. It only had a PCI slot when AGP was in its prime. Best video card I could buy for it was a geforce MX420 that performed much slower then even its AGP counterpart

Had 1.8ghz P4
256mb ram(added another 256mb later)
onboard video(added the mx420 pci)
15" LCD lol
80gb hdd

Prebuilt machines with the off the wall screws(head pattern) and the mounting positions of the hardware so nothing else would work in it except their own stuff.
Though that was a while back.....
