What was your first computer?

[Snapy1]

This....

I was four years old I remember for my brothers birthday party I installed a Clifford the dog game  

[Rashy]

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.

I remember Wolfenstein... CRT Monitors, the days...

[illBelief]

E-Machine... something something...

 

I distinctly remember the case saying "2GB Hard drive. NEVER OBSOLETE!"

[schwat]

Found the box for mine up in the attic awhile back:

 

 

 

25MHz, 4MB ram, 170MB hard drive

I was using computers at a very young age in school, but my very first computer would have been the family desktop we got in 1999. I got my own laptop in 2006 and have gone through about 6 of them since (none of them had problems; just felt like upgrading).

p4 at 2.66GHZ

 

512MB Ram

 

40GB IDE HDD 4600RPM.

[joemc99]

it

[MadZee]

I was a cool kid, lol;

P4 HT @ 2.65 GHz

1GB od RAM (not sure if DDR or DDR2)

Don't remember the mobo

A really nice Sound Blaster Audigy sound card

And two DVD drives, perfectly fit for all my YARR needs.

All this was run off a 350W PSU.

Not bad for 2003-2004-ish

My very own was a laptop, my first real PC was the one in my specs.

[Commander Llama]

I was too young to even know how to check hardware specs on my childhood computer, but based on the POST screen, it had an Intel Celeron 266Mhz running it.  I seem to recall a 20GB hard drive as well.  So much!  I'll never run out of that much space!

[Skandha]

Sony Vaio that Originally Shipped with Windows ME,

It had a 40GB Deskstar (Deathstar) Drive

like 512MB ram

Not sure what else, 

 

By the time I got it it was running XP, I used it for a few months then It's hard drive crashed when I tried to install Windows 7 on it.

Booted from USB to Ubuntu until I got a laptop later that year.

 

Strong Bads Cool Game For Attractive people was the only game I ever got the chance to play on it.

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum East-European clone. It had a Zilog Z80 CPU running at a blazing 3.5 MHz. I can't remember if it had 16kB of memory or 48kB, but I think it was the former. The language of choice was BASIC, but the more adventurous could give Assembly Language a try. You could manually save and load data from standard cassette tapes (MC) using a normal boom box. Whatever can be said about it, I think I had more fun programming that thing that I do now on my Intel 4930k that has 64GB of RAM and Intel SSDs in RAID0.

 

That being said, I think that I am one that can really appreciate an Intel 4930k that has 64GB of RAM and Intel SSDs in RAID0. Up until a few years ago I kept dusting off the old ZX Spectrum but it developed problems with it's keyboard. Fixing it requires a bit of DIY since replacement parts don't exist anymore.

[TAK]

Ah, time to show what an old fart I am.

 

I got my first PC around '93-'94 (I'll let that sink in a bit).

It was a no-brand clone, came with 4MB of RAM, 1/2MB graphics card and some really crappy sound card. The processor was an AMD 486DX2 running at 80Mhz (I was later able to underclock it to 13Mhz, which was all kinds of awesome). Oh and the OS, Windows 3.11 (Finnish).

Oh boy, the times of creating .bat files to run games and such, I feel so spoiled with new PCs.

[AshWntr]

I feel so boring and young since this is only 9 years old

D(H)ell Dimension 3100 512MB DDR2 80gb Hard Drive 3.1 GHz Celeron D 

Dhat Sexi Beast!!111

Used to sound like a jet engine till i opened it up about 5 years later, not a pretty sight. It served me well, RIP ;,(

[Mo5]

My very first PC I used was some Intel 386 thing... The first PC I owned had this specs: Athlon XP 2500+, 2*256MB DDR RAM (one broken stick), FX5200, 80GB + 200GB HDD, a range of cheap mobos, 350W generic PSU, generic case w/ side panel and neon lights

[kaylexmorgana]

I was like 13 or so and it was the biggest piece of garbage ever, I do not remember the specs though.

Let us say it could not play Halo 1.

 

And It caught on fire for some reason, lmfao no joke.

And it still worked

Some Tandy that's long gone. And that's kinda boring anyway. Dug up some photographs of my first completed build. Not even sure of the specifics now that I see it. I know I had a GF3 Ti500 at some point, but that sure looks like a GF4 Ti4600.  :huh:
