Intel p3. Desktop. 
733m cpu. 384m ram
ITI rage graphics card
Crystal cs 4235 sound card
Hp Laserjet 5L Printer
Cellphone as a modem through data cable
This motherboard does not have connections for these so I have to use
the adapters.
I don't know what else there is. I don't know too much about computers
Thanks for coming back to me. Hope this info helps
