Here, I will post the specs of the rigs I use for testing or for gaming, depending on my mood.
My desktop is the main workforce:
HP Pavilion P7-1003W
OS:Windows 8.1 Pro (Windows 7 drive died)
CPU: AMD FX-6300 hexacore processor (6 cores @ 3.5 Ghz stock) clocked at 3.7 Ghz. Can hit 4.5 Ghz stable.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3+ motherboard.
This motherboard supports up to 32GB DDR3 ram.
RAM: 16GB of DDR3 RAM running at 1333.
GPU: XFX R9-270X Double Dissipation with 2GB of DDR5 RAM. It's effective memory bandwidth is somewhere around 179.2 Gb/s
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB hard drive
All hooked up to my 21.5" LG Flatron and 2 AOC 21.5" monitors for 3 separate displays, or an awesome eyefinity setup.
Laptop...
Toshiba l875d-s7342
Display: 17.3" screen
CPU: AMD A8-5550m APU
CPU cont. My A8-5550m is a quad core AMD Richland APU (built in graphics) with speeds up to 3.1Ghz on a single core at any given moment. Casually I keep my cpu clocked around 2.1Ghz, but it will OC a little to keep up with demands. when running a bunch of apps, all 4 cores stay around 2.8Ghz
RAM: 6GB DDR3 (upgradable to 16GB)
OS: Windows 8.1
The GPU is where my A8-5550m really shines.
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8550G. This on die GPU has a max memory bandwidth of 25.6 GByte/s. It has 512 MB of system ram dedicated to graphics.
HDD: 600GB with close to 585GB usable
Old Dell XPS 700 full tower gaming rig from about 2005/2006
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66Ghz
Motherboard: Stock XPS 700 motherboard.
Ram: 8GB DDR2
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
GPU: EVGA GTX 560 Superclocked edition with 2GB ram
HDD: Nothing fancy here.. Old SATA 320GB HDD
An upgraded version of my old store bought HP desktop that the new HP 1003 up top replaced.
I have to put it back together.. Specs are listed below
CPU: Pentium D 805 @ 2.66Ghz overclocked to 3.0Ghz
Motherboard: Asus P5LD2-VM Micro-ATX board.
RAM: 4GB DDR2
GPU: Heat damaged XFX Geforce 8600 GT PCI-e with 1GB DDR2 ram... Works like a charm lol
OS: Windows XP Media center edition 2005 or Windows XP professional, depending on which hard drive I am using at the moment.
HDD: Standard SATA 320 GB HDD
EDIT: 3/5/2015
Raspberry Pi 1 Model B.
The RAM, CPU, GPU, audio controller, and 1 USB port are on a SoC (System on a Chip)
Broadcom BCM2835
CPU: 700 MHz single-core ARM processor that is overclockable to 1ghz
RAM: 512 MB DDR2
GPU: Broadcom VideoCore IV
USB: 2 USB 2.0 compliant ports
Video out: 1 HDMI port and 1 component out port
Audio out: 1 3.5mm stereo headphone jack
Ethernet/Internet connection: 1 RJ-45 connector (network cable, CAT-5/6) at 10/100 Mbp/s
Storage: 1 SD card slot
The Raspi also has several GPIO pins for various uses.
Since the Raspi is not using an Intel or AMD cpu, the only options for an operating system are different versions of Linux.
If you want to see more of the machines I have, let me know.
EDIT 3/21/2015
I have a couple older rigs that use the LGA775 socket, and at least one computer that uses a PPGA478 socket Pentium 4 2.66Ghz cpu
The older rigs I have either don't have parts other than a motherboard at the moment, or are just in dire need of a fix-up. I have a ton of RAM for old computers, and a bunch of old processors (Pentium D 930, 2 Pentium 4 640s, Celeron D 352, E6300, e8400) Enough parts to make a decent little rig for test purposes or to play my old video games.
As for spare graphics cards, I don't have any AGP cards, but I do have a Radeon HD 6570 PCI-e card, my faithful but heat damaged 8600 GT 1GB PCI-e, and a PCI 8400 GS with 512 MB DDR2 RAM. Also, I managed to find a 3DFX voodoo 3 gpu
EDIT 4/22/2015... Dang! I missed posting on the day it would be a month since last edit.. oh well
This info is on page 2 on this thread.
Arduino Uno
Microcontroller ATmega328(This is the CPU)
Operating Voltage 5V
Digital I/O Pins 14 (of which 6 provide PWM output)
Analog Input Pins 6
Flash Memory 32 KB (ATmega328) of which 0.5 KB used by bootloader: This is like tiny hard drive of sorts
SRAM 2 KB (ATmega328) (just 2 KB of RAM for the little guy to use =D )
Clock Speed 16 MHz (Beastly thing ain't it? haha)
EDIT 8/17/2015.. Its been a while, matey!
This rig serves as a testing computer and a Hackintosh
4 GB DDR2 RAM
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 clocked at 2.5 Ghz.
320 GB SATA HDD with Windows XP (Pro I think)
40GB PATA(IDE) HDD with Windows 7 pro 32 bit
320GB SATA HDD with Mac OSX Mavericks
Some Gigabyte motherboard that I will reveal when im able to look inside the case
A few notes about this rig. When running in XP mode, the pc is good for basic older apps, but refuses to run LOTRO, claiming there is a DirectX issue. When running is Win 7 mode, it performs similarly to a first generation Intel i5 processor would. not bad for something I found in the trash. In OSX mode, I have full speed networking, access to all 4 GB RAM, the ability to run and use Garageband and the app store when I reconfigure it. Also, when I run the OSX drive on this rig, it performs similarly to how the first Mac Mini's with first gen i5's would have performed.
EDIT 11/16/15

(NVidia/Intel is great as well; that's what I use.)
