What was your first computer?

[Nallown]

Can't remember it's name but it had the monitor on top of the desktop and also the monitor was a cube. I think that it ran win 95

[Ryoku]

hmm the first pc my family owned was a pentium 2 266 128mb ram 8gb hdd shitty non 3d graphics card and some sort of sound blaster sound card. the first pc I built myself was a amd athlon xp 2500+ with 512mb ram, some geforce 2 gpu, 160gb hdd, some sound blaster sound card. litle fuzzy on details as it was a long time ago, but thats the gist of it.

My first computer was a Commodore 64 which I had from 1985-91. I then had an Amiga 500 for two years and my first PC I got in 1993. It was a 486DX2 66MHz, 4MB RAM, 343MB HDD, some Tseng Labs graphics card (ET2626?) with 512KB vram. The OS was DOS 6.2. It also had Win 3.1 which I hardly ever used.

[mgsstar]

I forgot lol but it was in a beige case and every time I try to double click on the CD drive icon in Windows 98, it causes the whole computer to freeze.

[MrRavens]

This was my old dell computer. The sad part is that I forgot the name of the model, so I just typed in google "old dell computer" and the one I had popped up...

 

[juretrn]

It's long gone now, I managed to sell it actually.

It was a Pentium III 667 MHz, with ??? MB of DDR RAM.

It had a CD burner and floppy drive, came with a 15" CRT. 

Most importantly, it had the Voodoo 3 3000. Unfortunately, it could not play GTA 3 when it came out .

what's a floppy drive? /sarcasm

[PsychoticEpisode]

From a company called stupid PC I cant remember anymore than that.

[TetraSky]

I don't remember much about my first PC... All I remember is that it had a slot for 8 inch floppy disk and seemed to be running on MS-DOS or some variant. (No GUI, only command lines)

After that we bought a Packard Bell PC, 128MB of Ram, Intel P3 733Mhz. I don't remember anything else about it. But a quick search on google gave me this

Can't be 100% sure it's the same, but the look of it is extremely similar from what little I remember of it, especially that monitor with the speakers on the side, I remember that. We bought that PC for over $2k at the time... Today, you'd have to pay something to get rid of it, :lol: .

(We had upgraded the memory to 192MB (128+64) relatively quickly, then again to 256 a year or so later and once more near the end to 512, we switched to Windows XP from the time it had 192MB of RAM)

I don't think you are allowed to have 192mgs of ram.

[Cy-Fy]

Look at my signature!! hehehe

[Cubit481]

Acer Aspire V8243 in which the Pentium 4 Hyperthreaded cpu first arrive...  ...

[Billman87]

AMD 286 running at 25 MHz this bad boy had a Hercules graphics adaptor, 1 MB of system RAM, 25MB HDD and a dot matrix printer but no mouse.

It had two colours green and dark green. It was very old when it was given to me in the early 90's. I would have been 6 or 7.

Kicking around in Xtree Gold and DOS 3, them were the good old days.

 

It eventually died a slow and painful death at my inexperienced hands.

I got to dismantle it in the end that was almost as fun as miniature golf in a charter based display.

[Cwazywazy]

I don't think you are allowed to have 192mgs of ram.

Yes you can. In 2009 when I had an Inspiron 3500 I swapped one of the 64MB sticks for a 128 which gave me 192MB. (Yes. In 2009 I had a PII laptop with a HDD the same size as my flash drive that I had at the time.)

[imthewalrus]

 

From my dads work, he got me an IBM with 256 mb of Hard drive. 

[Helly]

Don't remember the brand exactly... only know it was a 386. in 1993.

i could only play games on it, in DOS. i played doom, dune 2, lands of lore, wolfenstein 3d, spear of destiny... etc..

 

doom ran crap. was only able to play it perfectly about 5 years later when it was old and everyone was playing cooler games .

 

i remember getting a new better PC few years after the 386... it had windows 95 on it. All i wanted to know is how to get back to DOS cuz windows sucked... didn't understand a thing about it .

didn't even want to. i just wanted to play games.

[Nicolas]

One custom built by my uncle, I don't remember the specs, but it was from like 2003 or something, the one I do remember is the one I had before this one, I don't quite remember when I got it but it must've been like 6 years ago, it had an intel pentium d 948, 1 gig of ram and no discrete gpu, and this one I have now is the first one I can call my own

[Wiflare]

An IBM thinkpad that had a whopping 2 GIGS of storage!

It was actually used up until around 2004 for playing c&c:ra2:yr

until it died.

We still have it somewhere, I might try to fix it up/take it apart.

[spwath]

My current rig. 6 months ago is when i got it. 

 

UNless you count a ps3

[Chakshu]

Was an assembled one everthing died except the CRT.

P4 1.8 Ghz

256Mb RAM SD ram

15 inch CRT

40 Gb HDD

CD and Floppy Reader

[miyabwah]

I think it was a XP, 98, or 95 machine. I wasn't interested in computers back then. Back then I could tinker with the OS and change things, but that's it. I watched my brother play Rollercoaster tycoon on that thing. It was a simpler life back then.

I LITERALLY went from console gamer to PC Enthusiast within a year. 2012-2013 was the biggest change in my gaming life.

I first learned to use databases with it.  Ashton-Tate dBASE III

 

For gaming I played Sierra Kings Quest and Space Quest series.

[mightytech]

My first that I could call mine was a gift from my uncle (Who builds PC's and got me into it). It had an AMD athlon 64 3700+,2 Gigs of RAM,and a Nvidia 6800GT with 4 blown capacitors. The PSU was a crap one out of a DELL and I couldn't even plug in the PCIe Power cable. He said the motherboard used to be a really top of the line one from ASUS so that's good I guess. It ran games pretty well but I ended up getting another PC from him that had a Athlon 64 X2 6400+ and 4 Gigs with the same GPU.

[SomnolenceGames]

It was a desktop PC which had been used in a lawyers office before they upgraded in 1997, it ran Windows 95 barely and was that old cream plastic that stains easily.  My mum "acquired" it from a friend who worked there as she couldn't afford to buy a computer at the time.

128mb+64mb I rocked the same setup.
