Your First PC?

Was this it Caveman Ninja

Speakin in Tongues..........

OK, forgive me, but this has great potential for humor. (Raucous laughter actually). Here ve have a pree-ma-teeve computer, a pree-ma-teeve vea-pon, wees a pree-ma-teeve man doo-ink pree-ma teeve theengs. Great fun, yah?

Sorry, my Russian seems to be a beet rusty. Please don't take offense at this, I'm only joking and I possess very little self control.

@kimsland: Looks very close! I dont think the game i used to play was like a rom i dont remeber the token thing flashing and dont remember the round circle rocks it was just a caveman with a bludgeon(a short, heavy club) with spikes on it

@captaincranky: lol

Mine i was like a ibm windows 98/ with like 15 gigs hard drive and 60 sumfin ram
i still have it lol and the monitor

.... my first one i can remember was a pII with 16 bit mem lol

My Pc

My PC configuration is:

Model : dell optiplex 620
Ram : 512MB
Processor: 3GHz

No, "Your First PC?"
Unless that is your first one

I remember that it has 32 mb ram, 3 gb of disk space and 1 mb graphics card.

:haha: nice to see how technology moves on. Thats nothing these days, I dont think you can even buy a computer with LOW specs like that. Atleast not in the UK.

my first PC.. well i forget what it was called but it had:

133mhz processor
16mb ram
100mb hard drive
i forget the rest of the specs .

Guys, you'd be lucky if you could find one working at a flea market.

At the flea one time, I saw a PC where the dude advertised it as vista, but I knew he was using the Vista Transformation pack. :haha: And the other one was running a vista beta build lol.

Yeah, but then again that was pretty clever seeing how most ( about 60% ) users will not be able to tell the difference unless they actually know what a computer is.

I might have been fooled with the first one if I hadn't went into "My Documents".

my first pc was a compaq POS

i remember the first family computer back when i was about 5 trying to play an unbeatable 3D game of tanks(3d was 3 green lines looking sorta like pyramids no texture no nothing just green lines) i hunted for that floppy so many times its not funny but my first computer that was auctually mine is a Systemax 700mhz amd athlon 128 mb ram Voodoo 3 gfx card 10gb hdd which is sitting outside my room atm broken because i installed the Voodoo 3 tv drivers instead of the regular drivers but it ran Xp home good though.

Lol..i didnt know about specs back then, but i had a compaq and i thot it was awesome! Online games everyday!

25mhz 386 1mb ram 40mb hd, 3.5, 5.25

the first computer i had was a 25 mhx 486. maybe 1991.
it had dos 5. or 6. and win 3.1.
it might have had 256k ram.
this was what you could get for $1,000.

later i upgraded the ram to 1mb - that was about the first thing i ever did on a computer. the ram was abt $100. the fee to install would have been about $40. so, to save money, I tried to do it myself. i eventually succeeded. but i really could have used techspot back then.

in 1995, i added a modem to have internet - this was 1995. i guess it was a 56k modem. I believe I paid $140 for the 56k modem.

back before win 95, installing a modem required setting dip switches on the modem in order to have it be on the right data 'port' and it also required setting the 'interrupt' priority for that port.

i was totally befuddled as I tried to install this modem by myself. the alternative was to spend $40 to have the computer store install it.

I spent most of one weekend trying to get the modem installed. After that, I had a lot more confidence and knowledge about computers, so I was willing to mess with them more. fro mthere, I got to the point where I can now handle many computer issues, and can build and upgrade.

so, because i was cheap and wanted to save $80 on those two upgrades, instead of paying to get it done, i ran into some great learning experiences.

Yes I remember that. That was even before ISA modems were released (some of which also had dip switches on)
And they were huge big boxes, with red lights on them, connected via serial port (all systems don't even have serial/parallel ports now, unless you request these addons)
And it wasn't 56K (we wished!) it was 14K (that's Kilobytes by the way!)
To download a few meg, took over half an hour (and usually faulted before it finished)
Wow, we were so impressed with the speed. If you typed letters on a forum (yes I was on BBS forums then too) The letters would take just a few seconds (about 30) to actually send. Hey that's not that much different from today (except now we're sending stacks of graphics and ads too)

I was 10 when I got my first computer:

A Sonay Vaio LOL

866MHz, 128Mb RAM, 40Gb HDD ^___^
