Mine was an intel 8088 XT, with 512KB of RAM, a seagate MFM HDD of 20 MBs, a 100 watts power supply and I had the motherboard on a "testbench" made with a shoebox. XD Oh yeah the display was monochromatic, it only showed 1 color, amber. =P

All I remember from my first PC was that it had a Pentium II and ran Windows 98. I was probably five or six years old when my family got it. I wish I still had it; my dad scrapped it about two years ago.

I haven't the slightest as to my first ever, but when I first started getting into computers and such, (in 2005+) I remember having a P4, 512 MB of DDR, 120 GB HDD, and an ATI Radeon 9550...that's all I remember though and I definitely couldn't finish that spec list off or elaborate on it, haha. So many good times on my P4 machine.

Well, the first computer I could call my own, was some old, IBM desktop [the flat ones] and I don't remember much of the specs but it had a 8GB HDD which was insane :D [And a floppydrive ofc]

And the first PC I ever used was probably my fathers Apple 2 back in the days when I was like 5 =P

Pfft, you'll never need more than 256kb of memory!

Can't quite remember, I think it was a Pentium 1 rig :P

some old Pentium III with 80GB hard drive 512MB SDRAM windows 98 and a old AGP gpu which i dont even know the specs from

after we installed windows XP on the rig we found out it was to slow so we upgraded the pc with mobo/cpu/gpu/ram to a Athlon XP 1500+ with 2GB DDR1 Geforce FX5500 512mb

after that i managed to save some cash up for a new rig witch had a Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 stepping with 4GB DDR2 and a Geforce 8600GT

then i upgraded the gpu in that rig to a HD5850+500wats psu cause i wanted to do some real gaming.

and now i am with a new rig again i5 2500K GTX680 8GB DDR3
