What was your first computer?

[eelnico09]

I remember the 1st pc i had was something before a pentium II. It had 8mb graphics, 32mb ram, and i don't remember what else. I remember i used to play a game with 4x4 trucks because it was the only thing it could run, lol. It had windows 95

[zombie-waffles]

Hmm...I know it was some kind of Windows 95-era Dell laptop, and that it was able to run the Hercules PC Game, but other than that I can't really remember much else.

[Orangezorki]

Wow, I think I've run the gamut of most of the good and bad on here.

 

It all started with a hand me down Acorn Electron from a former colleague of my father, with a fair few games that I remember having fun with.  Strangely enough, though I was 7-8 at the time, it turns out that the machine was released within a week of my birth.

 

My first PC compatible was a Packard Bell a couple of years later, just like the 'multimedia' one shown earlier.  486 SX 25Mhz, with a single speed CD rom!  Took me too long to realise that there were someone else's files on it - when sold as new for £2000 - yay Dixons! 

 

The next computer was my only second hand one - a Powerbook 1400c - Bought from a Physics teacher at a great price, and it was fantastic.  Such a shame Apple was obviously going to go bust the same year...

 

After that:

 

iMac 233Mhz rev b.

iBook 466Mhz.

Powerbook G4 12"

Athlon 64 self-build (with low end passive GPU)

Mac Pro (1st Gen)

Macbook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo

Self-build i7 2700k tower (hackintosh dual boot)

Macbook Air 11" 2012

Macbook Pro retina 15" 2013

Overkill i7 5960X 32GB, GTX 980 SLI

 

Computers, and the quest for more, they never end...

The first computer my family owned (or at least, owned at the time I was old enough to remember it):

Some shitty Windows 95 computer that had 40 billion viruses.  :v

 

The first computer I personally owned:

Acer Aspire One ZG5/AOA150

It had Windows XP on it but I put Ubuntu on it at some point and generally just played around with it a lot.  I got it in grade 8.

[minibois]

It was an old PC that belonged to my dad first, running Windows 95 or 98

I don't remember much of it, but it had a Lion King background and ran this one Power Rangers game just fine so it must have been great!

My first PC that i know the specs of was the Dell Dimension 3000 from 10 years ago. Had a Pentium 4 and 2GB RAM with windows XP. Had that for 10 years cos it was hardly used and replaced it with my current rig

[lisianthus]

Our families first computer ran windows 3.1, no idea what it was or anything since that was many years ago. MY first personal computer was an HP with an 800MHz intel pentium 3 and 128MB of ram. (I still have it in my closet)

The first pc i built had an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and around 2GB of ram at first (internal graphics...)
