What was your first computer?

[Mr.Meerkat]

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)

[Ash556]

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.

Mine was a Dell OptiPlex 210L. It looked something like this:

 

[Dark_Fuzzy]

Some HP laptop from around 2008 with overheating issues.

Cpu sat around 90c gaming and couldn't run minecraft over 15fps.

 

Ohh those were the days...

[Samsonsuperco]

Compaq Presario 1277... 

Specs:

CPU: AMD K6-2 433mhz

RAM: 64mb

HDD: 4.5gb

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

[Sat1600]

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).

[Mitko_DSV]

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.

[spellmanuk]

Mine was my dads old work IBM think pad laptop although it wasn't very portable it was like 4 inches thick and weighed about 100 pounds and had like a mobile atom CPU if I remember rightly and good old windows 95 

[Vivilacqua1]

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.

[DHelios]

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...

[Avericious]

Some low end HP laptop my school provided me in eight grade, which was in 2006. No idea about the specs as I didn't care and it worked well for my purposes at the time.

[eLucid]

An emachines amd athlon 2200+. God, I'm feeling nostalgic all of a sudden.

 

• AMD Athlon XP2000+ Processor 1.8 GHz
• Fast 266MHz Front-Side Bus
• 512MB PC2100 DDR RAM
• 100GB Hard Drive

-The family's first computer was a Gateway G6-350, don't remember much about this computer only thing I do remember is the cow and AOL free trial.

 

-The first computer I actually remember and played AVP and Lineage 2 on was a Dell Dimension 8300 big selling point of this PC was my dad upgraded the video card to the optional 128mb ATI Radeon. 

 

[diapersarefullofshit]

commodore vic20.

[andiireyhann]

my first experience with computer was a Pentium 4 desktop with 512MB DDR,80 gigs of storage Seagate Barracuda and an AGP GeForce (don't remember the exact model)..

 

though my first build was an AMD Athlon II x2 250, 4GB DDR3, 5570 1GB GDDR3, 500GB WD Blue,MA74GMT-S2 and VS 450 PSU on 2011

[Kerplunq]

My first PC is the Radio Shack TRS-80 Colour Computer 1980.  This baby has 16kB or RAM a  0.895MHz Processor.  I would hook this up to my TV and load games 3 different ways.  Cartridge slot on side, cassette tape or manually entering it in from books with the games coding.  So many hours as a small kid I sank into this thing.  I still own this baby in box

I don't remember if I've participated in this thread already, but ...

 

The first computer we had in our house, owned by my dad, was a 286-10 with 1 MB RAM, a 40 MB hard drive (don't remember what type but I guess it was pre-IDE, and I think it was a 5.25" drive). 1.2 MB 5.25" floppy drive, EGA graphics, etc.  He bought it for about $1800 or so in January 1989.  (I wonder how good of a system he could get for that price now?  Emphasis on longevity - still being relevant and "not feeling slow" for basic home/office tasks after 7-10 years, not necessarily up-front gaming performance.  In fact, gaming performance not necessary at all - I figure that even if he only got a 80-100 firestrike score or 300-350 cinebench score, he'd be fine with whatever he'd run on it.)

 

My first PC was an Athlon 64 X2 4000+ on a Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H board, with 2 GB DDR2-800 RAM (later upgraded to 4 GB), a 250GB WD IDE HDD plus either an 80GB IDE or a 750GB SATA (Black), can't remember now although I know I had both of those, just can't remember when), a Lite-On DVD writer (still have it in my newest system but I think it may be failing), integrated ATI Radeon X1250 graphics, etc.  I paid just under $500 not including the hard drives in February 2008.

[xentropa]

The first computer I used was a 386. 

 

The first computer that I built with my personal money was in 2000 which was a

 

Pentium 3 1000 mhz

Geforce 2 mx

256 mb ram

creative labs sound card

40 gb hard drive.

antec case

[redrobin]

The first computer I ever used was a Compaq Pentium II affair which featured a 4GB HDD, but that's all I remember. 

 

The first one I ever actually owned was a Dell Latitude D610 laptop. It has (I still have it, runs Windows 7) a Pentium M @ 1.86 GHz, 1 GB DDR 2 RAM, and an 80 GB IDE HDD.

[steamman212]

The first computer that we owned,  was a 286 IBM compatible, don't remember the name of it.  Had 40Mb hard drive, 16Mhz cpu, 1Mb memory, on-board video was vga, with a 14" monitor.  We also had a 9 pin dot matrix COLOR printer.  It used DOS 3.3, DOS 4.1, I think, was out, but like vista, no one real like it.  Over the years we did upgrade to the higher DOS's and even had windows 3.1, which I didn't like much.  Had both 3.5 and 5.25 drives.  I installed a very good sound card which made a huge different in game play.  One of our biggest games my son and I played, was the original Duke Nukem, we had all 3 disk/levels.  We used it for years. till we got a new computer that ran windows 95.
