Some 2001 Asus laptop with a single core 32 bit 2ghz pentium 4, 512 entire megs of RAM, 40gb hard drive and some ati GPU with 32mb of vram.

I've played Minecraft on that thing and dayum, it ran pretty smooth (30fps) with everything ultra low.

It died unfortunately 4 years ago.

My uncle ordered my first computer after my parents gave him the money to do so. It was made by Evesham which is long out of business by now. Had an Intel pentium D single core inside, IDE hard drive, ATI graphics card, two Optical drives. Came with a grey monitor, greyish keyboard and ball mouse before laser became a thing. Had xp home edition installed. That's all I remember since I was like 6 or 7 years of age back then.

My first PC was a IBM 600x Pentium 3 based laptop with 256mb of ram and 20GB HDD. It still works and i use it as a "server" for my printer. Next i got a custom build PC with Intel Core 2 Duo clocked at 2.2ghz 4gb of ram and 9500gt (512mb version) i sold it to a friend and it still works perfectly. And you can check my current build in my profile.

my first desktop was an old dell, i think it was a dimension, one of the XPS T series. i think it ran win98 but i can't remember. wikiped says they ran a pentium 3 and around 128MB RAM.

 

my first laptop was given to me as a toy by one of my dad's college friends who no longer needed it and knew i loved messing with computers. it's a 1994 compaq 425 LTE/lite upgraded to run win95. monochrome screen, built-in trackball, still in full working order save for the floppy drive which seemed to have suffered some trauma at the hands of a certain 3 year old (i had to fix the door on it when i dug the laptop out). i think it has around 4MB RAM and a 20MB hard drive

My first PC?

 

Pff... It was a 486 DX4 at 120 MHz. I don't quite know for sure how much RAM it had, I vaguely recall it being 16 or 24MB (eventually). It had a Gravis Ultrasound soundcard, which had awesome quality! It started out with just an S3 Trio 64v+ card for graphics, but I later added a Voodoo (1) card which actually had an external passthrough. I bought a huge 250MB disk for it, which would surely last forever as it was more storage than I'd ever need right? And I was glad to have a four speed CD drive, as Encarta would load so much faster... Although I mostly ignored the new Windows 95 stuff as DOS was so much more easy and faster to control.

 

Ahh... those were the days! :)

Mine was an Atari ST520e, it got me into computing and gaming at a very early age. Ran a Motorola 68k cpu and 512 KB of RAM.  I still remember the 'console wars' of that generation between the ST and the Amiga, it's not a new phenomenon that started with the xbox vs playstation crap that's still going on today.

The Power Macintosh 6100/66

It had a PowerPC processor, as well as a Pentium processor so we could switch from Mac OS 8.1 to Windows 95 without rebooting! :D

I remember playing some weird educational games on it before it got replaced by a HP Pavilion desktop with a Pentium D and Geforce 7500LE in mid 2007.
