Probably one of the computers I had in the early 00's/late 90's. It was still a 486 with Windows 3.1 (Later upgraded to Windows 98), it was slow as hell, and it had dial-up.

What is the worst computer you have ever owned. Im basing it on how much it crashed and how slow it was. So mines a tie:

The sony Vaio VPCEE21FX. I had this laptop last year and it was an utter piece of s*it. It was slow and crashes alot and was FULL of bloatware. Sony sucks at making computers.

Mine was pretty close to yours, OP. I bought one of the very very original Vaio back in 2002.
Though, in truth, the computer wasn't so bad, it was the bullsh*t o/s installed on it: Windows ME.
Computer crashed more often than I care to recall.

So, then, I guess the worst computer was one of the very earliest (noticing a pattern here?) NEC laptops back in 94 or 95. Piece o' junk. Robust as a wet noodle, and weighing in at about 8kg with a power pack the size of a brick. Actually I say it was NEC but I cannot find it on old-computers.com.

Some of the worst PCs were in between 1990s till early 2000s (except mid ones). I have one of those but I don't know the specs before. Those models were eMachines and I even don't know those specs. But today they are now trash for good, no longer using it.

and hard drive space of a whopping 320gb

That's funny; my computer came with 125 GB free, with 25 being used for Windows. It now has 27 GB available.

Speaking of which, it also came with a AMD dual-core @ 2.1 GHz, a >512 MB integrated GPU, and 1, that's right, just one, GB of RAM. I could partially play GTA: San Andreas at minimum settings with only massive lag spikes in between. I now have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 and 3 GB or RAM, but those are the only parts I upgraded, since I apparently can't get a compatible processor, since the people here insist on knowing every square millimeter of my computer's motherboard even after I explained to them that AM2 sockets are compatible with AM3 and AM3+ sockets.

The computer I had before that was a Dell of some sorts that we got in 2002. I didn't and still don't know the specs or even the computer model, but it was so sh*tty it melted while playing Habbo Hotel, which I accidentally did in about May 2007.

In early 2002, I bought a sh*tty HP Pavilion (can't remember the sh*tty model number) that used Intel's ultra sh*tty 180 nm Willamette-based P4. It had the sh*tty Home Edition of Windows XP preloaded with all kinds of sh*tty bloatware and unwanted trials. The GPU was a sh*tty Radeon 7000. To make matters even worse, the sh*tty PSU was some sort of sh*t-ass, underpowered piece of sh*t custom designed by HP and therefore totally non-upgradeable.

It was slow as sh*t out of the box and got exponentially slower over time. A year later I built a new machine and haven't given a prebuilt system a look since.

That sounds...sh*tty.

I can't remember any of computers I have being bad! Although, I have used some bad computers for school, etc. One would have to be a Compaq laptop. Probably just had a flat battery but after about five minutes the damn thing still wouldn't turn on (this was back in high school).

I remember visiting my dad's once (parents broke up), I wanted to play Club Penguin on it (i was like, 8, give me a break tounge.gif)

I went on it, it took like 10 minutes to load up. I went to do a ski thing and it was like a slideshow, literally. About 1 frame every 3 seconds, and even then, half of the stuff wasn't even loaded. It was truly a piece of sh*te. I don't even know how he actually used that. From what I remember he just had it in the background 24/7 doing some defragmentation stuff.
