...my oldest computer is a PIII... Gotcha beat ! My oldest running computer is a twin processor PII server, running Windows NT Server.
My oldest dead one is a PC XT clone - but I have a new motherboard. It has an 8087 math coprocessaor, a 4 MB EMS board, and a 1X CD drive !
It had the switchable 4.77 / 8 Mhz clock speed. Woo hoo !

I think you meant to direct this to the post before mine.
Technically, I was referring to a virtual pc in my post, not a real one.
On the topic, I do have a P3 @550MHz sitting idle, plus a P4 @3.4GHz with hyperthreading still getting some use. Got it just before the Core2 Duo's came out.
Now I use a Core 2 laptop running 3.4GHz, and the quads are out!
