 Why the hell does this matter to you?

Well because telling him what would be better really comes off as though you're rubbing it in his face that he doesn't have better hardware, as though he hadn't realized that there are better cpus out there.

AMD 5x86 133MHz CPU

4MB RAM

I forget the rest, pretty sure I was rockin' a vesa local bus SVGA graphics card with 512K of memory. There was a computer store down the street from me where I bought all the parts but for the life of me I can't remember the name, it was something like ADC, ADI, ACP, they were local in San Jose, CA as far as I remember.

It's was the piece of shit, thats all you need to know

First exposure to a desktop computer was a Commodore 64 in elementary school, though the first we had in the house was an old x286.

My family's 1st computer was an Apple Lisa and it lasted all of a few weeks before I broke it.  Needless to say they were more than upset.  I do not remember the 2nd computer as I wasn't really allowed to use it.  I think it was a 386. But it was eventually replaced with a 486 DX overdrive (100Mhz) with 8 o 16 MB of Ram which I was allowed to use (it was mine).   But the downside was I was stuck with it for a long time (they refused to buy me a new computer).  I learned how to tweak it (mostly software) and run Windows 3, 3.1,95 and 98 on it.  I eventually did get a new computer (AMD), but for laughs I tried to install Windows 2000 and ME on the old PC (it burned out on one of them, but I don't recall which).

[Guest trucker2]

I have a broken model 25 in the garage I loved that thing..

 

Am I the only one here aware that a Lisa went for 10 grand?

 

First pc was a free 386 above board...broke it

 

Then a free 286 that I upgraded to 486DX2 when I found out the 286 would not play Doom

[Jsarthak]

Mine was a Pentium 4 with 256 MB RAM and a 37GB HDD

Macbook 2008... Still using it

[Guest]

I can't remember, But I do know that it was a schools Zenith Tabletop/Laptop (it weighed about 18 lbs)

[Counter-Strike Player]

A Packard Bell "Pack-Mate II" (286). 5.25" Floppy? Hell yes, although I think we were too dumb to even use that drive. Any internet access? Hah, good joke, that didn't come until 1997ish when we finally got dial-up on an HP Pavilian Windows ME box, which wasn't that bad until you needed to perform regular registry hacks just to get Windows Update functional again. Anyway "the bell" booted straight to DOS and you manually had to type "win" + enter to boot into Windows 3.1.

My first PC was a family computer bought from the local PC guy.

 

It had a Pentium 4 2.6 GHz, 1.5 gb of DDR1 (or at least it does now, it has two older 256mb sticks, I am assuming that the 1gb stick was added later), I think a 9500GT, but only because I have a few spare lying around the house. No-brand power supply, cooler master centurion 4 or something case. It had a 200gb seagate hard drive, using IDE.

 

My next computer was, again, a family computer. My father is vision impaired and used zoom/screen reader software that is very demanding on the computer, so my parent's computers are fairly cutting edge. This one had a Q9400, 4gb of DDR2 ram, another 9500GT and a 1 terabyte hard drive in the centurion 5.

 

I still use this computer, but with a gtx 960, an SSD, an 80+ silver power supply, scavenged an extra 4 gb of ram, and put it into a new case. The toolless PCI slot cover system on the Centurion 5 is riveted in, and putting in any modern graphics card prevents it from properly locking, causing all the slot covers to fall out.

 

My parents, on the other hand, are rocking an i72600/8gb ram build. HD6770 graphics card. I manage the computers in my house, but the OS is tied to the motherboard so I can't steal her cpu.

 

And my Grandma is fairly tech-savvy, but bought her first computer in the early 90s and has the 2000+ dollar (AUD) price bracket burned in as the lowest price for a good cpu. Which is why she has a 3930k, 16 gb of ram and a 780. In a beige box.

My first pc was an old ass 486. My first pc I built was a single core AMD rig (back when it was worth building AMD) that was OC'd so much I had to get a beast cooler that sounded like a jet engine. I want to say that it spun at 11k rpm or something retarded like that. 

[cluelessgenius]

well my first pc got swapped out for something better fairly quickly and i was kinda really young so dont know the exact hardware any more but it had one of these puppys in it
