First PC?

[Windows i7 920]

My PC before my current one:
emachines w3400
AMD Athlon 3000+
512 MB DDR (single channel....)
ATI Radeon Express 200 series integrated graphics
80 GB HDD
Windows XP Home

Current PC: see my system specs. Now that was one heck of an upgrade! The first week or two I had the new PC I started putting graphics intensive games on it and maxing the settings. Eventually got into OCing on it. Even though its not quite my first PC, it is the first I worked for and purchased myself and therefore to me its my first PC. Its 2 years old now. Might need a GPU upgrade soon but other than that its running great. It has lasted longer than the emachines did but that's no surprise

My first PC was a white box 286-10 (With 12 mhz turbo boost button!) with 640k of ram, CGA graphics card (4 colors at once!), 20 meg HD, and 2 floppies.

Upgraded with 1200baud modem, second 20 meg drive, and eventually an EGA card and 287 math coprocessor which speeded up rendering a 640x480 16 color fractal from 1 hour to about 60 seconds.

I am confused as to what the OP wants to know, 1st PC or the 1st one before current one.

Either way, 1st actuall PC was a Tandy 1000sx.
One before this one was same processor, earlier version of the same board & XP inside of frankintower.

 

[Dinesh]

My 1st PC was/is Compaq Presario 785TU laptop.

 

[Infinite]

1st PC was a Netbook.

 

[Layback Bear]

My first PC was made by Sinclair through FMC.
Fseal I like this.
(With 12 mhz turbo boost button!)

He want's to know the first pc you ever owned bro

That first PC of mine was the first "true PC" I owned. though my first "Personal Computer" that I bought with my own money was a Vic 20 , before that I pretty much owned the Commodore PET 2001 my dad bought when they first came out when I was in HS.

 

[mjf]

IBM XT Clone. 20 MB HDD, 5 1/4" floppy drives. Separate (expensive) maths co-processor chip. I thought is was fantastic.

 

[MWRed]

Pentium 100
some kind of custom put together thing that my ex's mother got us way back in like '96.
Win 3.1, with a 95 upgrade disc.
big clunky mouse and keyboard
2GB HDD

 

[Garlic]

My first PC was
AMD Duron @ 600MHz
128 MB RAM
some NVidia graphics (don't remember which one it was)
20 GB hard drive

 

[linnemeyerhere]

An Atari 400, man do I wish I had kept that shit !

 

[profdlp]

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.

 

[thomascanty]

My first was a Timex Sinclair ZX-81, built from a kit by my dad.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

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'.
