What was your first computer?

[Tr3vor]

Katmai and Coppermine were on both slot and socket. 

 

I just looked it up, I'm suprised that Coppermine was on socket, I've never seen one out of all the pentium 3s flooding out of peoples' houses lol.

 

Katmai wasn't on socket though.

[WAI]

the first computer i ever touched was a P1 100mhz 16MB RAM and a 2GB HDD (Had DOS on it then Win.95)

 

the second was a PII @300mhz 64MB RAM 15GB HDD (Had 98SE)

Mine was an old Compaq that was older than me. I don't remember much about it as we got rid of it when I was 5 (it was the former family computer that was put in the basement) except that it ran Windows 95, was VERY beige and its monitor broke, resulting in the colors to be screwed up. The first computer that was definitely mine was an Asus Eeebook netbook thing that I got for my 11th birthday. After that came another Compaq (this time a laptop) which happens to be sitting in pieces in my room.

Best part about it is its socketed AMD sempron. When I first discovered this, I was astounded and amazed.^

The oldest computer I can remember my family owning, is a Dell (that's now 12 years old.). Before that, we had a computer, but I can't remember much about it.

 

My personal first computer was a Studio XPS 9000.

First Computer I used that my dad owned was a Tandy 5000 mc, I played a jetfighter game, test drive, and manhunt. This brought me into the world of pc gaming! I only ever had consoles for nintendo titles as i was growing up. I was just a little kid using MS Dos and Tandy DeskMate. After that my own computer that was mine wasnt until high school and it was a Compaq Presario 5000. I upgraded the graphics to a Nvidia TNT2 when I purchased Operation Flashpoint and couldnt run it with out the upgrade. That was my true first computer.

I bought a Alienware back in 05 lol..I didn't know any better as I just lost use of my arm and they financed me..

[Caspian]

First Personal computer was a 2009  Lenovo   3t s10   with an Atom and 1GB of RAM

 

 

It was horrible. It lagged running Pokemon in an emulator and was so slow that if you tried to rotate the screen or use the touch functionality it practically died.

It was so bad I gladly accepted the Mac I was offered ._.

[snowpike]

I had a Windows ME desktop, with celeron processor

Calculator

You need to understand that as a kid, this was the greatest thing science had ever managed in my mind. I thought it was THE coolest thing ever.

 

Now that I think about it, I haven't even had a desktop till this January.

I have yet to "own" a PC. 15 years old and I have never had a computer to my name always using other peoples.

[MarioCardona1981]

My first PC was a Compaq Evo D300v, my dad gave it to me back in 2002
CPU : intel Celeron @996mhz
Ram : 128mb Dimm PC133mhz - then I upgrade it to 512 mb 
Video : 4mb intel chip - upgrade it to 128mb ddr Geforce MX4000 ;  then to a 256mb ddr Geforce MX5200

OS : Windows XP home / Professional

HD : Maxtor 20gb

 

On this PC I played  Resident Evil 4 on low settings - GTA Vice city , GTA San Andreas and some emualted games like N64 and PSX

It had a sad end of days, I gave it to a cousin in 2008, and find out a year later that the motherboard died

My first personal pooter was this HP 2000. Kinda runs like butt now that it's a couple years old, but considering the life span of most laptops I suppose i can't complain about it too much. 

[-iSynthesis]

Cant post a picture ATM, will post in some hours since im not at home atm.

It had/has AMD Athlon x2 7750BE (That thing was shit in oc'ing, only got it to 3.1GHz)

Some MSI Motherboard

AMD Radeon HD 4300 (Later upgraded it to a sapphire HD 6670)

4GB DDR2-800MHZ i think it was

750GB WD Caviar Green

 

 

 

Before that i used a win95 PC, wasnt mine though and even before that when i was like 7 i used my grandfathers 25MHz WinSX or WinMX dont know anymore. The win95 PC was like 800MHz Dual Core, 2x8gb Caviar Blacks and a 16gb maxtor drive and some mb of RAM. It played an illegal copy of rayman so thats nice lol

Come up with a budget... (then mow lawns, babysit, collect aluminum cans, what ever it takes to meet that goal) You can have a computer if that is really what you want.

 

Yea I have everything planned out! I have two jobs but I only get work during the summer. I have my 4k ready build planned out but I need a good $500 build to hold me off until I have enough for my main rig.

My first PC was a hand me down from a bank in 1999 when they were changing their PCs. At that time i was a noob and was hired by a friend of a friend who had the contract to restock the bank with new PCs and he just gave me one of the old ones. This was my first purchase.....http://www.amazon.com/Sony-VGN-S260-Pentium-Processor-Centrino/dp/B0002XUXBQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Yeah look at me with my 60GB hdd and my top of the line CPU....yeah!

[Brapson]

Had an old HP, got it around the age of 6 or 7, Loved it to bits, died a few years back though I fixed it last year (First PC I ever repaired) even though the guys at the local PC Repair shop couldn't work out how to do so. Came with a big chunky CRT. I remember playing MineSweeper and Club Penguin on it as a kid.

 

[ShadowCaptain]

THIS - i think it was 300mhz, had 13gb of storage, and some ancient voodoo card i believe it was I cannot remember

[n0ah1897]

My first computer I've ever used was an old Gateway running Windows ME from forever ago. It's actually sitting in my basement right now and still works. The first computer I've ever owned myself (so not my parents computer, one that I bought) was an Asus laptop. It was just some $350 with a 2nd gen i3 and 4GB ram. Nothing special.

[Rashy]

I cant remember it was 2004, its still in my hall of olds but i have the spec:

• ASUS P4VP-MX
• A 1GB DIMM ram and 1GB SO-DIMM
• A 32GB or something around that HDD
• A Pentium, but cant seem to open it because the motherboard is drilled in!
• Oh it has a weird Airduct system like a hole but it leads to the cpu fan, so no case fan

Dell Dimension 4400

lol well I am 26 so my first computer was when I was 11 and it was a Packard Bell. It was actually really nice and I would rip Wolfenstein and Doom all day. Then we upgraded to a HP when I was 13 and had that for like 8 years. I would rip Diablo 2 on that old HP all day. It only had 256MB of RAM but back then that was really nice.
