A very dumb question!

Raas · 13th November 2002, 07:48

Everytime people ask me what kind of comp I have I get stunned
because I don't really know for sure what to answer!
I know I have a Intel Celeron 500 mhz processor,192 MB RAM and a 8 gig
harddrive but is that what I'm supposed to say?
On the computer box and on the screen it says Fujitsu Siemens
but that hasn't got anything to do with it right?
So what do I say?
I'm so ashamed to post this but I had too ask someone!

Well 'what kind' really means what brand I think, maybe some people mean what CPU. So a Fujistu you have, but that is really far to vague for anyone to get an understanding of what it is capable of. So a brief description of it's components is more useful.

As Phily said, they may be asking for the brand. Other times they may mean PC or Mac.

Most people down here ask, "what computer you got?"
what they mean is what pentium have you got, they dont know what a AMD is.

thankfuly there not all like that nowerdays.

I used to have a cyrix 6x86 150+ (as fast as a pentium 150 for office apps, but about the same as a pentium 100 for games).
