My first pute was a Commodore 64...fun machine when you made a error in entering code.Later got a IBM ps2 with 4mb ram and a 140 mb hard drive at the time it was the top of the line later upgraded to 8mb ram and added a 250 mb hard drive and my friends thought I was nuts because they figured I'd never need that much storage.

 

[P3ANUT]

All i remember it was a IBM that had like 60 something ram in it

My first computer came from the school's computer graveyard, a 486/66 that I LOADED with a HUGE 4 MB of RAM! Amazing I know :grinthumb My second was a 75MHz P1 with (If i recall correctly) a 4 GB hard drive, again from the school graveyard. BUT, I was so cool and could nab any parts I wanted from the piles, I had DUAL MONITORS!!!! HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA...Totally unnecessary at 9 years old, but why not!

Haha, my "first" computer...to say the least....didn't deserve the torture it recieved. The person we got it from was one of those flea market salespeople. He showed us this nice computer, Win 98, worked perfect. We went to the car to wait for him to bring it out, and 15 minutes later he shows up. We get it home and we could have sworn it was either a different computer or he did something. It had absolutely max 10gig hard drive with no space left what-so-ever, and was slow as ****.

That computer ended up being thrown in a lake...... :X

My first REAL computer is the one I am on now. It is a Dell Dimension 2400.
Now it has got:
1Gig of ram,
PCI FX 5200 (256mb)
Celeron 2.4GHz
40 gig hdd

Also, I added in a capture card hoping I could record stuff from VHS tapes, but the sound was so low that you can't hear crap. It also lags when trying to play MGS2 from the PS2 on it... :X

Hmm...let me just get it out of the closet...

Not sure what motherboard...

16MB FPM

Windows 95
100MHz Pentium
32MB EDO 72pin simms
S3 Virge PCI based Graphics 4mb
2GB Quantum Bigfoot 4200RPM ATA-33 (Its a hard disk larger than a CD Drive)

This thing beat the crap out of my uncles pc! (I COULD PLAY SIMCITY 3000)
Compaq Presario 5441

475MHz AMD K6-2

10Mbps Ethernet Card
Oh, I remember AOL 5.0 on it too, there was a 56kbps modem! WHOO! Very fast in 1998 when people didn't use flash in any of their websites!

But then He topped me with his HP Pavilion 504n with a CD-RW!!!

But I got revenge!
1.9GHz Pentium 4 Wilamette 400MHz FSB
Jetway P4X400DBP w/ VIA Apollo P4X400 Chipset
BTC 8xDVD+RW!! (Which now is dead.)
64MB ATi Radeon 8500 (to a 128MB Sapphire 9550 that didn't work, to a e-GeForce FX5500 256MB, to a 256MB BFG 6800GT)
512MB DDR-333 Mushkin Enhanced to be specific!
60GB Maxtor Diamondmax Plus ATA-133
200GB WDC200JB-00DUA3 (Western Digital Caviar PATA-100)

And Now!!!...

Well, just read the specs in my profile.

I think the first computer I ever touched was the Lisa Apple Computer ( god I hate macintosh o.o )

Then a couple other Apple computers ( thank you elementary school! ) then I eventually owned a 286, then 386, then Pentium, Pentium II, Celeron, Pentium III, AMD AM2 x2 64.

Wow that ASUS P3V4X board lasted me about 8+ years x.x

I am 23 years old by the way... Im not THAT old X3

Current PC is now Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Addition with a 5600+ AMD dual core 64 bit processor. =3

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.

 

[0nfir3]

@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

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

 

[Twyndyllyngs]

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

 

[hamas123]

: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.

 

[saioke]

133mhz processor
16mb ram
100mb hard drive

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

 

[Obi-Wan Jerkobi]

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.

 

[Obi-Wan Jerkobi]

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

 

[bstorm83]

my first pc was a compaq POS
