What was your first cpu?

[asand1]

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and a GeForce 6600. Halo and COD/COD2

[veli2501]

486 SX25, I don't think that consumer graphics cards existed at the time.

 

I played Wolfenstein 3D (original), Commander Keen, Prince of Persia (original), Maze Wars, North and South and many many more games.  Doom didn't work so I didn't get to play that until we got the Pentium 2 233, many years later. 

[Pasi123]

Intel Celeron 333MHz (Pentium II based)

 

Diamond Viper V550 (NVIDIA Riva TNT)

 

I got it for free back in 2006 and it still works 

Spoiler

 

[DarkMatterX1]

MOS Technology 6510, I played all the raddest games like Caveman Ugh-Lympics, Paperboy, Wastelands and of course Hacker.

[Buurvrouw]

Haha, my real first own PC was a AMD Athlon 3400+ (very rare here btw) and a 7600GT

[Ground]

A Pentium M Dual core T4200 with an intel GMA 965. absolutely slow. Got myself my own PC used from a neighbor with a Q9550 and a HD 4650 in 2011.

Did you like pinball like I did?

You didn't have Full Tilt? It included the original Space Cadet (which could be run at 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 in addition to fullscreen) plus had a few more tables.

And for me my first machine had a 386 DX40 (just need to clean off some minor corrosion near the LED header+find a Lithium battery that isn't dead/too weak) with an OAK OTI 037c v3 (1991). Still have its 80MB HDD and I/O card working perfectly as well. Though I do need to repair the soundcard so I can connect a CD-ROM drive to it (got one from 1995 and 1997-though the plastic is getting a bit brittle)

i5 2500k

[Rupe]

My first two PCs both dell prebuilts i really have no idea. But the first one I made myself had an Amd Phenom 1055t with an ATI Radeon 5770

[Insay]

[Potato*Salad]

Pentium D 930 on some M-ATX Foxconn motherboard.

 

Was terrible...

 

 

First GPU was an ATi 4670.

 

[aisle9]

I also remember my first dedicated GPU: the 3dfx Voodoo 2 that came with my Pentium III-based eMachines eMonster 500.

Okay 3 answers -

1) TI99/4a with a TMS9900 CPU @3.0MHz with 32kb of RAM and a cassette tape drive for "mass" storage running BASIC as the "OS". 

2) Kaypro II with a Z80 @2.5MHz with 64kb of RAM and a two 191kb 5 1/4 floppy drive runnings CP/M. (after all upgrades)

3) PC Clone I built with an 8088 @5.1Mhz (overclocked) with 720kb of RAM, two 360Kb 5 1/4 floppy drives and a 20 Mb 5 1/4 hard drive. running MS-Dos 3.0. (after all upgrades). Oh yea and an "Hercules" graphics adapter... 

 

I was going to go with the PC Clone but as I was typing I remembered my Kaypro and TI99 both of which were earlier. The PC Clone was the first I bought all the parts and did an "enthusiast" build since the base started as XP "grey market" parts.

What was a good memory you had as a kid/Adult playing games with your cpu? What Graphics card was it paired with? Bring the Nostalgia

My first and only CPU is the 3570k, my first GPU was the XFX 7970 DD

[Emberstone]

My very first computer was a Compaq Presario v2000 laptop sporting an AMD Turion 64 ML-30, a single-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz. I got it in 2004. Believe it or not, that laptop could run Half Life 2 on low to medium settings at 1024x768. It was originally a business laptop for my dad that he gave to me later that year as his job gave him a better Dell Inspiron.

 

My first desktop sported an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400.

 

The first computer I actually built myself is the one in my sig, which uses an R5-1600X.

[Aljonimo]

1st CPU 386SX33 Heatsink had to be glued onto the cpu, I was 14 and it was my 1st ever system build, full system cost $1500 around 1992-1993

1st computer TRS80 Tandy Color Computer 3

[kagarium]

AMD Athlon

 

No not the Athlon XP or 64

 

The first one

 

The one that used slot A and looked like this:

In fact this was the same motherboard we had too. Can't for the life of my remember what GPU was in there. All I know is it was top of the line for 1999

[Fenixriot]

My 1st was a pentium 166 mmx, 16mb ram, 2 gb hard drive and a 1mb onboard vga chip, i remember struggling to play the 1st tomb raider on it at 640 x 480 lol

[MyName13]

Some wolfdale pentium with geforce g9400 gt, it's incredible how many modern games I've played with it (up until 2013./2014.).

[davyre89]

E4500

[Filthyscum]

80286, in this;

[Nena Trinity]

Laptop was TK-55 and the GPU was a GT 7200M I think...

 

Desktop FX-8370 & GTX 970!

 

First ever was the family PC which I think had a Pentium II or 4? O3O

[Echthros]

Owned... A couple Athlon and Athlon XP trash binned chips that were given out at a "take your kids to work day" at AMD back in the day... I need to find where those are now. They definitely were disabled because we tried to get them to work. 

 

Used... I have vague memories playing Sesame Street 1-2-3 on some IBM DOS box next to an Apple Color Classic (I think). So no idea of the DOS box, but think that era. 

 

Built...  an Athlon 64 with some ATI card that I can't remember. 

[BlivionIaG]

Pentium M with GMA 915 chipset
