What was your first computer?

[Eaglerino]

No idea what was in the Windows 95 I had, but the first computer I built had a first gen i7 and a GTX 550 Ti. Never buy a 550 Ti

[uberfast]

My oldest cpu was a AMD Opteron from my first ever build.  The gpu was a ATI Radeon of some kind.  I have pictures of it still floating around on one of my hard drives.

[plsno]

Intel GMA 950

[EurypteridX]

Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.07 GHz (1 core, 2 threads) with integrated graphics

[Twilly]

LOL I don't even know the specs to my first computer. It was one of those Dinos that had a VGA cable as a tail. Handled Warcraft III decently though. After that I got used to my secound computer which had a Pentium 4 processor and then an integrated graphics card + Windows Vista. Vista can kissta my a** goodbye.

[ThinkWithPortals]

CPU: Some Intel Core 2 Duo at ~2.16GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS with a huge 256MB of VRAM.

Can't remember the first PC I used. It was a present for my elder brother. Had to borrow from time to time. I was a wee lad back then that only wanted to play games like :

 

Lose your Marbles (awesome game from windows 97)

Black Moon Chronicles (hot damn. this game was awesome as balls. Wismerhill, Gor Gor Bhey, The Black Moon Faction, Light Faction, etc)

Seven Kingdoms II : The Fryhtan Wars

Trespasser (the very first FPS game that I've played that featured dinosaurs as enemies. LOL.) 

Final Fantasy VII (believe it or not, in my country, people sold CDs with game bundles in them. I remember even having a Megaman X4 installer.)

But I do know that it was a Pentium 2 build.

 

First PC I ever built on 2010:

 

Intel Core i3 530 (2.93 Ghz)

Deep Cool Ice Blade Pro

Deepcool Rockman fan controller

6x Coolermaster 120mm Blue LED Fans

AsRock H55M

2x2gb DDR3 Kingston Valueram 1333

HEC Rapter II 500w

Sapphire HD 4670 (Upgraded to Sapphire HD 6790 as shown in the pics below)

Samsung ODD

320gb Seagate 5200 RPM

CoolerMaster USP 100 non-windowed version

 

 

For the love of God, I don't know why I placed my bumblebee there. I was young and stupid back then. Lol

[yathis]

GeForce 256

 

[MinionTM2]

Yeesh, I think it was a 1997 Compaq Pasario with a Pentium 1 as far as the CPU and no gpu to speak of at the time. Think I might have had something before that but it is a bit hazy.

First GPU though, good grief, idk, something that came with my athlon 64 lol.

So, what was the first ever PC you used?

Mine was..its a story

One day my dad brought home a old Windows ME gateway when i was only like 4 or so and i would do stuff on it...then we got rid of it

ahhhhhhhhhhhh vivid memories

[yathis]

A calculator then probably an Atari, but to be literal, could say I used something to do with a baby being born. Air pump perhaps. For me to be using it, myself, thermostats werent advanced enough back in the 60's. Digital Watch.

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah Atari

an old apple from the 80s at my aunts house that you would have to use command lines to reach the games and files to play them.

is that kermit the frog?

[crzyces]

Actual PC? Of my own? It was an Aquarius. Kind of a Hybrid PC/Console. It could not do much computing wise though, so I guess it would have been my C64. I remember staying up all night in elementary/middle school playing the Gold Box Pool of Radiance series. I won my schools science fair in 5th grade by coding the star spangled banner with a red white and blue theme in BASIC. Oh the good old days.
