My first pc was an IBM pc jr. I bought it in 1985! Yes before most of you were born! It had dos 2.01 as an operating system with a 4.77mhz CPU. It had a whopping 64kb of memory! Yes I said kb's! I paid $1300 for it! Then in 93 I built my first system. It had a 60mhz Pentium processor. I ran Windows 3.1 with a 9600 baud dial up modem!

I'm actually very curious to see how bad everyone else's PC's were before they got their ultra mega super awesome gaming builds.

 

Mine was some Dell desktop that we got from Walmart. Had 4 gigs of memory and on-board graphics. EWWW

I had one at like 3 but i cant remember

but i had a laptop about 2 years ago 

 

• AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM-80
• Hard disk 250 GB
•  2,048 MB, DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)
• ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3650 supporting HyperMemory™ technology

[vectorx5000]

Intel core two duo at 3ghz, 4 gigs of RAM, and nvidia 9400 graphics with 256 megabytes of v-ram. Some 500 gigabyte hard drive as well.

Late 2009 iMac, rip me

Mine was a mid 2007... similar specs actually, but I can't remember the GPU.

[TheMechEngineer]

You know it's funny, today my computer has more RAM (16GB) than my first computer had hard drive space (7GB).

[Schoolofmonkey]

Man reading through all these makes me feel so old.

My first PC (if you could call it that) was a Commodore 64, it came with a tape drive, but later I bought the floppy attachment.

You could type document on it, there even as a modem you could buy, but as at the time there was not internet in Australia you had to dial a US number, so it wasn't worth it.

My first PC with a hard drive was a Intel 286, it had a 100mb hard drive, 5:25" floppy drive and a monochrome monitor, no video card about 128k of ram.

Try and run something on that now, our phones have more power than that..lol

[CalebTheEternal]

Hm... Well.. This is weird, everyone had these like 4gb ram PCs... My first PC was 16gb ram, 2Tb HDD, GTX 660, i7 3770. I didn't get into computers until recently, I didn't even know what a GPU was until a few years ago   Man I was a dumb kid....

In terms of first PC I built, see my signature.

 

in terms of the first PC I owned, it was an IBM Thinkpad T42, for the $150 I paid for it, it was pretty decent at the time, I could run GTA:SA decently, along with minecraft and a few other games, though after I think around a year and a half of having it (GTA 4 came out around 6 months before my T42 died), I accidentally spilled milk on it, and had to leave for school, so there wasn't much I could do... Ended up getting my Asus K53TA which served me well for another 1-2 years until it died of unknown causes... (It was an amazing laptop for $300 or so, though my only main complaints were the build quality (all plastic), and the screen resolution (the dreaded 1366x768))
