Well this would be my first PC "for gaming" that kind of worked.

 

 

CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3800+ Dual core 2.00GHZ

RAM: 3.1GB Usable 3.5GB Installed (3x 1GB + 1x 512MB)

PSU: Jeantech 400W PSU

GPU: ASUS Nvidia Geforce GTX 550Ti

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

HDD: 500GB Seagate Pipeline

Motherboard: MSI Amethyst

 

Dont diss the Athlon, The E7300 Core 2 Duo i had after and the 3770K i had after the core 2 Duo Both crawled to a halt at 100% CPU usage where as my Athlon I could thrash and it'd take it like a BOSS.

 

100% CPU usage through the night on 4-8 Hour TF2 sessions, CPU never bitched or complained.

GMOD on high settings, TF2 On Medium-High, Awesome multiplayer sessions back then. 

Also before the 550Ti i used the Athlons onboard ATI Radeon 200Xpress graphics.

 

Eventually the Athlon would weaken and have to be retired, too much thrashing took it's toll eventually. But damn if it and my 4820K were and are the best 2 CPU's i've ever used.

Hey bro whatcha DOOOOOOOOIN *Barfs fruit salads on your chest*

i7 4820K / Sapphire Radeon HD 7970GHZ 6GB \ 16GB Corsair Vengeance (4X4) / Gigabyte X79-UD3 \ EVGA Supernova G2 850W / Windows 7 Ultimate / Dell U2412M \

Dat be spooky....my hella rad pootpoot *u*

Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600).

Sapphire-ATI Radeon HD 2500

6GB DDR2

But the Motherboard was Balls-to-the-Walls, it was the ASUStek P5W DH Deluxe, the MoBo was able to get the Q6600 to 4.8GHz stable.

My first gaming PC solely for the purpose of gaming? It had an A10-5800K for the longest time, and that was all it had until last year, when I gave it a 7870 and a CX500 to give it some horsepower after I was pretty much laughed to scorn out of pity by my techie friends (I built the computer during my AMD fanboyism years, and was convinced to hell that the 5800K was a good part on its own. It was then that my friends converted me to brand disloyalty). Now it's my bro's, and it has an SSD now, so yay. It's still an extremely competent computer, just not the most beefy in terms of CPU.

My very first rig, and the system that got me interested in PC gaming was built with a Pentium 100 and a 3DFX Voodoo graphics card! Yes it was a long time ago! hahaha

It was used in about 30 different computers, guessing is going to be hard.

My first computer was an Apple Macintosh LC II, you know those pizza box computers? For young me it was the shit because it had a few games on it. It was also the first computer I ever pulled apart, I think I was about 10 or 11 when I did that. I do wish I had kept it, since I had everything for it, Apple Mouse, Keyboard & Monitor. Bought it from my primary school for I think $100 when I was in grade 2 because they were upgrading to newer Macintosh computers heh.

 

Looking up the specs it was a right beast

CPU: 16 MHz 68030

HDD: 80mb

RAM: 4mb

GPU: 256kb

Case: Ncase M1 V5 Black CPU: Intel Core i5 12600 MB: AORUS Z690i RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX DDR4 SSD: WD SN770 500GB | WD SN750 250GB

Cooler: Noctua NH-L9x65 GPU: EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra 8GB PSU: Corsair SF600 80+ Platinum Fans: Noctua NF-F12x 2 | Noctua NF-A9x14

No, the OCS wasn't used by any other than one brand.

OCS = Amiga Original ChipSet. It was used in the early Amigas (1000, 2000, 500 and CDTV), of which the Amiga 500 was by far most common.

The Motorola CPU however, was super common, yes. :)

Sorry, I was referring to the CPU only.
