Name every pc you owned (include specs)

Jesus, I've owned PCs with 100+ different components. Rarely do I buy all new computer of all new parts at one time. Though lately I did refresh platform to LGA1700 and only GPU stayed the same.

If I Remember/Recall Correctly.

 

Same, too many to mention but notables are Emma in my sig and an e4300 1.8GHz Core 2Duo that I was running at 3.41GHz (commonish actually).

 

That and my 3dFX 4MB Monster GPU add-in card from decades ago.

 

Otherwise, I'm old and had a few over the years.

[steelo]

1st computer circa 1991: 

Packard Bell 

cpu: 486 dx @ 33mhz

gpu: Packard bell 'accelerated graphics' with 512kb memory

ram: 4 mb

storage: Don't remember but something like 30mb

 

This computer was an absolute piece of garbage my parents paid around $1,000 USD at the time. Within 1 year of use, the monitor went out and we began experiencing 'Memory parity BSOD errors' randomly every few minutes. I remember as a teen playing around with QBasic and Visual Basic and writing stupid games. I was so excited when Fury 3 came out with Windows 95 and it barely ran at around 5 fps...LOL

 

2nd computer circa 1998:

Tiger Direct computer

cpu AMD K6-2 with '3D now' @ 300mhz

ram: unsure but not much

 

circa 2004-2005

cpu: Pentium D

gpu: NVidia 6800gt

ram: don't remember, maybe 512 mb?

 

2008:

cpu: AMD Athlon X2 4400

gpu NVidia 8600gt

ram: 1 gb?

 

Previous computer circa 2010:

Mac Mini

cpu: i5 @ 2.6ghz (4th gen, I believe)

ram: 8 gb

gpu: Intel Iris

 

I tried so hard to like this computer but never could adapt to the MacOS GUI...I didn't buy this to play games, but it struggled playing just about everything that came out in the past 5 years.

 

Current computer built in 2019 and upgraded in 2020:

cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF (basically a R5 2600) @ 4 ghz

ram: 16gb @ 2800mhz (it is actually rated for 3000mhz, but I get constant crashes with anything over 2800mhz)

gpu: AMD RX 5700 (non-XT)

hd: 240gb SSD (boot drive), 500gb HDD

 

This is probably considered to be low-mid grade today, but it's a workhorse and plays just about every game I've tried flawlessly.

 

Wife's current computer

cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 2400g

gpu: RX 570 4 gb

ram: 16gb

hd: 256gb SSD (boot drive)

1TB HDD

 

This is plenty for her as she really doesn't play any games other than Catan and Risk. She mainly uses it for email, facebook and her Cricut projects.

(2) Raspberry pi zero W's - 1 used as a torrent box and an internet monitor, other running motioneyeOS to monitor front porch

 

[Somerandomtechyboi]

I refer to mine as the crappy testbench

 

Cpu: usually e8400

Rams : 3x1 extreem dark ddr2 1066 6-6-6-18

Board: crappy p5q (even with bios mod with p5qd pro and ebb swap to miif max is only 585fsb)

Psu: dazumba 450w, 11 years old but seems like a good quality unit considering how heavy it is and the 12v rail has 360w

Storage: some slow ass 80gb hard drive i got for 2$

Case: its on a freaking cardboard box

Cooler: cheapo chinese 92mm tower (eddy 90b plus)

 

I usually use it to test ocing and also do some nonsense experiments like running a pentium without a heatsink and undervolting it so it doesnt overheat xD, also other stuff like shoving a tec cooler on the nb

[hypercubed]

A couple that I didn't own but used so much it basically was mine:

Unknown Windows XP computer (though now that I think about it it might be the Dell Optiplex Pentium 4, 768 MB RAM I stole from for the next one)

 

Lenovo ThinkCenter, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz, 2.5 GB (Added .5 from the old computer), 500GB HDD that got moved to my current computer

 

HP Pavilion, Intel pentium somthing, 4GB RAM probably DDR3, had a Windows Vista sticker on it, 500GB HDD

 

Dell Optiplex 3050, Intel Core i5 7500, 8GB DDR4-2400 RAM, 1TB HDD

 

My computer now: AMD Ryzen 5700G, 16GB DDR4-3600MHz, 256GB SSD, 1.5TB HDD. see profile for more details

 

Current laptop: Acer Aspire 5, Intel Core i5-8265U, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD

Raspberry Pi 1 Model B 512MB RAM

[da na]

My first PC? 2007ish MacBook with a Core 2 Duo something and I think 2gb DDR2

Then I had a laptop with an FX-9830p, RX 460, 16gb DDR4, 500gb SSD.

Currently my laptop is a Vivobook M143D with a Ryzen 5 3500u, 256gb NVMe, 8gb DDR4, Vega graphics.

My main desktop is an HP z620 workstation with 32gb ECC DDR3, 1tb SSD, 2x2tb HDD, GTX 980 SC, dual socket Xeon e5-2690 v0. 

I've got a few benchmarking systems as well those are in my signature

[Bad5ector]

I gave it an honest effort, listing out all the specs of all the systems I ever had just seemed impossible. I might be able to do what others have and just list a one liner for each system. But even then, so many.

 

- Dad's Roomate's 386 sx20

 

- First family computer, 233mhz w/ mmx

 

- First computer I didn't have to share with sibling, good ol Celeron 300a OC'd to 400ish mhz. (my mobo was poo)

 

- Then I think it was a p3 600 when I was in college.

 

- Upgraded to an Athalon XP 2700+ (Thoroughbred) - This  system I had a lot of great memories with, the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. The video cards, man... First team green with a Geforce 3 ti 200, then to team red, a ATI 9700 pro (sadly only the 128mb model). Oh the memories.

 

- I think next was an Athalon 64, 2800+ system. Basically all the parts of the last system but with a cheap ass OEM socket 745 motherboard and the CPU. I was so anxious to get on 64bit platform, all the while running only 2gb of RAM and Windows 32bit. What a noob. I ended up frying that CPU during a CPU cooler upgrade. Ended going back to the previous system for a while to come. Oh the early 20s, when money is tight and all you are focused on is paying rent and going to the pub.

 

- I think next was a proper upgrade to the Core 2 Duo platform, the E6300 I believe. Eventually came into a Q6600 CPU for free, oh the joys of working at a PC Tech shop, some customers... they are the best. And thanks to Acer's shitty OEM systems at the time, they had a model that had an proprietary case and motherboard that just loved to fail all the time. Some users took that as a sign to upgrade completely and had no use for the spare parts of the old system, 'cept maybe the HDD. Anyways, I think I rocked that  for a long time. This system also had some great memories for video cards, the Radeon HD5850 1GB card and the HD7970 3GB card. The former being the first card I mined a whole BTC with back when ASICs were just starting to be a thing. (Anyone remember those first gen ASICS that look basically like USB sticks??? yeah I have a few of those kicking around if anyone wants em lol). The 7970 was a beast, it was so sad the day I mined it to dust. I had a real problem with mining back in the day lol. 

 

- I also think between now and the next upgrade, I started to dabble with the idea of another computer acting as an always on file server. Basically just running WinXP pro with advanced file sharing. I think it was a socket 478, Pentium 3.0GHz w/ HT.

 

- Then I moved on to the AMD platform, with the FX6100 CPU and the 7970 video card from the previous main build. I think I ended up buying an R9 290x (SAPPHIRE TRI-X OC Radeon R9 290X 4GB) and a 3TB WD Green HDD for like 1.3BTC... oh man I am still kicking myself on that one.

 

- Next was an upgrade to the space heater of shame, the FX9590 and a GTX970, a fancy new 1000watt PSU and AIO from Corsair. Moving on up in the world now! lol

 

- I believe next was the first big proper upgrade, that set me down the path of spending way too much on little tiny fittings and angled adapters. And back to team blue with a 7700K on the Asus Maximus IX formula board and the Infamous 1080ti FE (EVGA). Plus this was my first time with custom loop, started with soft tubing and eventually graduated to Hardline tubing. The case was / is the classic Thermaltake Core P3 Snow Edition. With a tempered glass panel upgrade (my version only came with the plexi). Funny enough, while the water cooling stuff was all EK, the computer parts were all ordered from NCIX, right before their decline. Like weeks before their decline. I think I got lucky.

 

- From there I have upgraded to my current platform, the Ryzen 5900x, Asus Dark Hero Mobo, RTX3080.

 

- I also guess I should mention my current unRAID server as well. A 3900x with 32gb RAM, the old 1080ti for a VM and a quadro p620 for encoding.

 

There were also HTPCs and various laptops / macbooks / tablets / phones omg the phones, (I used to work for RIM [BlackBerry])... And I am still sure I am leaving stuff out. But it was fun going down memory lane. Thanks.

 

 

 

[Kronion]

I'm able to list the CPU of basically every computer I ever personally owned - the rest of the specs would only be bits and pieces.

 

80286, 80386 SX33, 80486 DX-50 (all of them old computers from my grandfather's business), Pentium 133 (my father's old work laptop), AMD K6-166, AMD Athlon 1333, AMD Athlon XP 2400+, Intel Atom N270 (laptop - Lenovo Ideapad S12), Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 (Macbook Pro 2007), Intel Core i5-4590, Intel Xeon 1231v3, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.

 

 

[IPD]

TLDR:

 

So you hate older people?  I mean, who is going to remember all that except someone 19 years old?

[Cool Dude 101]

I have had about 6 computers, sorry but I can't name the specs of them all.

I'll just go with the ones I personally owned, not family computers, and I'll list the specs in the last usable state. This is all from memory, so some details will be missing. The nicknames for the later systems are more like titles. The best computer is always Jupiter, the second best desktop is Venus, the best laptop is Mars, the second best laptop is Uranus, and the computer that is used as a web server is Mercury.

Sorry but when I saw that title "Name Every PC" I immediately thought of the meme about a girl saying she is a fan of something and then being asked "name every thing ever! Haha I knew you weren't a real fan".

 

Anyway I started with Commodore 64 then Commodore 128 then Mac Plus and then a whole series of more Macs until I built my first PC in 2001.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The CPU history of that PC was:

AMD Athlon Thunderbird "C" 1 Ghz

AMD Athlon 64 3500+

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe Processor 2.4GHz

INTEL CORE I7 2600K 3.4G

Intel 10900K (current, hand me down from gaming pc)

 

GPU History:

ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon

ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 9700 Pro

ATI ALL-IN-WONDER X800 XT

XFX GeForce 7950 GT Xtreme

EVGA GTX 280

EVGA GTX 680 SLI

EVGA GTX 980 SLI

EVGA GTX 1080Ti SLI (donated to gaming PC)

EVGA GTX 1080 (current)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I built a second gaming PC in 2018:

 

CPU:

AMD Threadripper 1950X

Intel Core i9-10900KF (donated to first pc)

Intel 12900K (current)

 

GPU:

EVGA GTX 1080Ti SLI (from other PC)

RTX 3090 (current)

Why would I research the internal specs on my TRS80, my TI99-4a, etc?  I barely remember that the PC I got after freshman year in college had a K6-2 and Hercules graphics with something like 8MB vRAM or something pathetic.  And since then I've had 2 desktops and ~7 laptops.  So no, I don't remember all the specs.

[Mark Kaine]

Fujitsu ergo pro X original intel pentium, windows 98 the GOAT

 

Acer / AMD cpu some of the first pci msi cards for ~40 bucks ... windows XP

 

DELL / AMD cpu 1GB RAM, ATI X1950GT, windows Vista (i really liked that pc, it smoked my ps3 for breakfast...)

 

My first DIY: AMD 2200G, 8GB RAM ...  still my pc today, slightly upgraded (in profile) still the same cheap 50 bucks msi b350...

 

[XPWasTheBestOne]

As a little kid there were a lot of Win95/Win98 PCs. Then we got Windows 2000. Then there was a Windows XP in the house which was the first PC I really started messing around with, and then I got my first laptop, which was an ASUS. It was pretty bad. It was on Windows 7 and that's about all I remember. Then I got a computer from a school auction that had Windows XP on it, which I updated to 7.

 

I started college and got my first gaming PC and a macbook pro. Both had i5 processors and the PC had a 2GB ATI graphics card and 8GB ram. I moved from Win7 to 10 on that PC at some point.

 

I moved out and only kept the macbook pro, which I bootcamped to use Win10. I eventually got the PC I use now, which has 16gb ram/i5 10400F/1660 super. It was the first one I built entirely on my own and I'm pretty proud of that. Lots of things I would change for next time but that's all it is, for next time.

 

I haven't kept anything over the years but I wish I did. I really like tinkering and stuff, and I want an XP machine around anyway for compatibility reasons.
