I can't remember my first computer as I was very young at that time ( 2-3 years old ) but it was those 1990s computer that looked something like this. My parents didn't buy this as my personal computer but I learnt how to use a computer with it and played some kid's games on it.

 

Our first brand new PC was built in that case. AMD K6-2 450MHz, 32MB of RAM, on board video and a 5 pin din connector for the keyboard.

 

Heh.

It was the first PC in our home which allowed us to get on the internet. I will never forget going online for the first time at home - truly magical.

Windows XP laptop that required a huge fan thing to keep it from constantly overheating. It was so terrible, although it did teach my young self about computers.

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.
