My first PC was
AMD Duron @ 600MHz
128 MB RAM
some NVidia graphics (don't remember which one it was)
20 GB hard drive
We didn't have a mouse or keyboard in those days, it was hammer and chisel and a smooth slab of granite...
Actually, I pulled an old 386 out of the trash and played with that for about a week before I got bored. A month or two later I went out and bought an Acer Acros:
Pentium 75 (50MHz FSB with a 1.5 Multiplier!)
8MB Ram
850MB Conner HD
14.4K Modem
Really nice video card with 1MB of memory on it.
Paid a premium price for the 15" CRT monitor, since the 14" model looked so dinky next to it in the store.
My first PC was ASUS motherboard,512 MB DDR RAM,80 GB HDD and 14 inch CRT samsung monitor with windows XP.Later i just added 512 MB RAM and nVdia fx 5500 video card.
I still have that PC but don't use it much.Those days it was a nice powerful machine.
My first real computer would have to have been a 286 with a added math chip, the real 5.25 floppy not the new fangled small floppy which i had to add later......oh how high tech. No email, no internet, no windows, no color unless green or amber are colors.....you know what I mean! Tractor feed OKI data printer that you could hear and feel two or three rooms away. All of these wired together to the obligatory monitor base switched power multiplier.
First real computer was a Commodore C64, which I still own.
First PC was an Osborne 386SX20 tower with 4 mb RAM, an 80 mb (yes, 80 mb)
hard-disk drive the size of a shoe-box and a 256kb graphics card (Trident?). It
also came pre-loaded with the original Wolfenstein, sparking a love of FPS games
which has lasted to this day.
Current desktop is an Acer Aspire AS10 Pentium 4HT 2.8Ghz, 1 Gb RAM, Ge-Force
5700FX (256mb) graphics card, SB Live! soundcard and multiple hard drives, each
with a different OS.
Mainly runs XP Home and is set up for gaming, but is currently running Win 8 CP
with no problems apart from getting the Ge-Force going.
Current laptop: - See 'My System Specs'.
