First PC?

[FranzeR225]

What were the specs and what did you do on it?

[Admire]

Depends on what we are referring to as a PC......Does Amigas count?

[Interfectorem]

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core @ 2 GHz. Intergrated Nvidia GeForece 6150LE w/ 256MB. 250GB Samsung HDD. 1GB DDR2 RAM. 300W OEM PSU. I "gamed" on it. I recently gave it to my little bro and tossed in an AMD Radeon HD 5570 so he could play some light games like TF2, Minecraft, etc. I also upgraded his HDD to a 500GB Seagate Barracuda. I just need to buy him some mroe DDR2 RAM, because 1GB is god awful slow. It runs Windows 7, it originally ran Windows XP.

 

Then my next "PC" was a $300 HP Pavilion thingy that I bought at Best Buy. It had an AMD E-450 LAPTOP APU, 1.65 GHz Dual-Core, w/ Radeon HD 6320 graphics (384MB). 8GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB Seagate Barracuda. 1 optical drive. IT HAD NO POWER SUPPLY, IT RAN OFF OF A POWER BRICK, I MEANT IT WHEN I SAID IT USED A LAPTOP APU. The motherboard didn't have any PCI-E slots so I couldn't upgrade. But yea, owned that for 4 years I also "gamed" on it. Then I got my current build in my signature.

IIRC, it was an eMachines Athlon 2200+ with 512MB of ram, and one of these bad boys.

Apple Powerbook G4... I was a really lucky kid....

First that was actually mine, and not the family PC was a eMachines eTower 500i. I upgraded it to 256MB of RAM and added a 40GB HDD to go with the 20GB it came with. Bought it from my dad for $100. Thing was a tank, lasted through more examples of my anger management issues than it ever should have. I once kicked it off my desk, it hit the floor hard enough to leave a chip in the wood. It was powered on, and not only did it not shutoff or show any signs of related issues, but it worked for another 2.5 years before I ripped it apart. Played a lot of Starsiege Tribes on that thing.

 

Absolute first was a Pentium 133 based machine.

I am too young to remember the specs, but my first PC was a massive tower with a huge CRT monitor from a company called 'Tiny' (just realised the irony haha) - I think it had a pentium of some form inside it, but I could be wrong. All I remember is that it ran The Sims quite well, and it also ran Emperor: Battle for Dune (the one made by westwood) at well over 30fps. Even to my infant eyes, it was buttery smooth I wasn't allowed access to the internet for like a year either...

Apple iBook G3

I've recently fixed the old family laptop as my laptop died on me about 9 months ago.

 

First ever laptop was: HP 550 - Nice laptop, ran smoothly for about 3 years then died after over use lmfao

Was a pentium for me to to watch videos dont remeber exact specs

[YellowMenace]

I had some custom thing my dad made, I still have it.

It has a

Celeron @ 400MHz,

768mb o' ram,

Nvidia TNT2 pro

REALLY old version of win xp

(Originally had 98 then 2000)

And 2 of the worlds loudest hard drives.

I used that thing for ms paint and gaming. Despite its poor specs, it could still push out MechWarrior 4, Battlefield 1942, and Morrowind.

I came from a tech illiterate fam so we didn't have a PC till I was a freshman in highschool. The only thing I remember is that it was an HP with a Pentium 4 and 512mb of ram.
