I'm not sure, but I think it had a single core Pentium.
I know that I had later on a dual core Pentium with an ATi X1600 512MB from connect 3D. I still have the graphics card. Note that the graphics card was connected via AGP. :P

An intell 486/66 build.

 

Don't know the full specs, I wasn't exactly computer savvy at the time. But u can guess how crap it was by how bad it played the games of the day.

 

Im talking Duke Nukem 3D with very choppy gameplay, at I guess I'd have to say it was 20fps or below.

Even C&C didn't run well.

Hp dv3 laptop...from 2008 (maybe wasn't the first computer I've used but defiantly my first own computer) 

Cpu: Core duo 2 something that went up to 2.1Ghz

Gpu: Nvidia g105m

Ram: 4gb

Windows Vista then upgraded to Windows 7

First had a 500gb HDD but it failed due to powerloss then had a 320gb HDD then finally upgraded to a 128gb SSD 2 years ago

 

Was my primary computer till 2014 summer where I built my rig then in 2015, it retired completely since I finally got a new laptop.

 

My first computer that I used was a Packard Bell desktop with a pentium 4 with some amount of ram I don't remember and it had a Nvidia something as well...the power supply blew up end of that (2005)

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Windows XP 

 

Pentium 4 at 2Ghz 

1Gb of RAM 

I think ASUS made the Motherboard 

ATI 9800

40Gb HDD 

 

I used it for quite awhile until I traded it for a Dell XPS laptop (The First Gen one that weighed something like 10lbs) 

 

The first computer I ever used was a late 90s Gateway computer with a Slot 1 Celeron processor.

For years, I had to share a computer with someone, whether it was my parents, sibling's, or even my room mate's (yes really). 

But the first one that I was finally able to afford by myself was a dell d600 craptop. 

It had 30Gb HDD, 128MB of memory, and a Pentium M 725 processor clocked at 1.6 GHz, which was amazingly fast for its time. 

I'm glad I am able to see technology get more advanced, and compacted over the years. very cool

Dell dx2 66. 8mb ram 320mb hard drive. 15" cr monitor. Windows 3.1. $1700.

 

I really wanted 16mb of ram but I couldn't afford the extra $300.

 

I did get a great deal on a NEC CD-ROM drive later on. only $150 because it used a caddy and they were getting rid of those. Then I got a used 320mb hard drive to add when my friend upgraded to a 1 gig (woah).

The first computer I used was eMachines eTower 466i from 1999 which my parents bought in 2003 (I think) it had Intel Celeron 466MHz, 64MB PC66 RAM, ATi 3D Rage Pro AGP 2x 4MB (integrated), 6.4GB HDD and was running Windows 98 SE. Still have it, actually used it until June 2015 with a few upgrades - 512MB (2x256) PC133 RAM, Gainward nVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB PCI, WD 40GB HDD and Windows XP SP3. It was our first family computer, after we got our second one my dad used it for testing Linux and other things, and after he got a newer PC he gave the eMachines to me. But the first PC that's entirely mine is my current one - Acer Aspire M1930 (specs in sig) which I bought in May 2012.

My first computer was a Dell something or other with a Pentium 4 and 512 megs of DDR.

 

I remember playing NFS Underground on that all day after school.

My first computer was a Philips P2000T. Equipped with a Zilog Z80 CPU at 2.5MHz and 16kB of RAM, it ran Microsoft BASIC off of a cartridge. Also had a Teletext display chip to send up to eight different colours to a screen at a whopping 40x20 resolution, and removable storage in the form of mini-cassette tapes. It's sad that my i7 system can never be as magical to me as that good ol' P2000 was back then...
