Edited selected lines to represent my outdated system.
OS:
10.2: +25 (it's all good)

RAM:
64 MB = 10 points x 10 = 640 MB = 100 points

CPU type:
G3: -25

CPU speed:
100 MHz = 10 points (if Mac) x 2.33 = 233mHz = 23.3 points

Graphics:
1 MB VRAM = 1 point x 16 = 16 MB VRAM = 16 points

Monitor:
CRT: 0
17": 0

Understands scoring guide: +50

Mod status: 9 x 10000000 = a lot Posted Image

So, that's 25 + 100 - 25 + 23.3 + 16 + 0 + 50 + quite a bit
Total: 189.3 (x 10^8)

10.3 +75
1152 MB RAM +180
G4 +0
733 MHz +73.3
32 MB VRAM +32
so 360.3

--and--

Windows XP -50
1024 MB RAM + 160
P4 +0
2.8 GHz +186.7
128 MB VRAM +128
so 424.7

--and--

LCD +50
17" +0

Total:
835. Man I rock.

And I'll remove the super Pufer points.

Oh yeah, Zortrium, you forgot A64. Posted Image

I will set that at 100 points. Oh and DOS, umm, lets put that at +0. (I know someone who runs DOS).

I also might mention that the Windows XP should be revised to include Home (-75) and Pro (-50) versions, and Windows 2000 should be raised to -60 points as it is significantly better than XP Home. Also, 25 points should be added to all the Mac OS versions, OS 9.2.2 is one hell of a lot better than Windows 98 (not to mention a lot newer, certainly not "stone age" old) yet they are worth the same amount.
