What was your first Computer?

[DazZ.]

Not a clue what the specs were, but I was very excited when we got Windows 3.1 instead of DOS, and then I proceeded to ignore it and boot everything from dos anyway.

I do believe it was an old Gateway (Remember them?).


Before Gigabytes were commercially available!

 

[mindclockwork]

it was

2,6 GHz amd 64
1gb 400-ddr
ati x1600xt

it broke this autumn so the next one will be

amd x4 620 2,6Ghz quadcore
4bg 1333-ddr3
and same gpu

 

[Don't taze me bro]

Apple IIe, or my first PC was a 386 SX25. I don't recall much about it, but it had an EGA (16 colour) monitor, 16 meg of ram and ran Dos 3.3.

1994.

Compaq Presario
Intel 486DX2-50 w/math co-processor
4 Mbytes of ram
1 Mbyte of video ram
270 Mbytes of hard drive space
Windows 3.1, Dosshell, Dos
1024x768 VGA with .28mm pixel, 14.5" diagonal CRT monitor
HP 300dpi parallel port inkjet printer
Additional 2x cd-rom drive (did not come standard)

Total cost...$2800 USD....on sale.

Given that it was a while ago this is probably the closest spec to the computer I had. Well, it was the family computer and the first one we were allowed to use after the BBC Micro . I loved Windows 3.1, why did it have to change?!

Also I think the monitor was a bit smaller aswell :/

A really crappy emachine that my dad gave me. I played Call of Duty on it and the Sims and that's about the most it could run. Then I decided to be a PC gamer so I bought Team Fortress 2 and a good video card for it. It was actually my computer for a long time until recently I just couldn't take it. I could run the games, but not run them well. I bought Left 4 Dead 2 because I just couldn't miss out on it and I hate that game on the 360 and I installed it and when I started out, the opening cutscene's audio went in and out and chugged. In game I could run it smoothly at low. Once, I had died and I tried changing the quality from low to medium and I almost lagged out. My current computer is custom that my dad built and gave me for Christmas. I don't know exactly all the specs and I'm too lazy to figure them out.

I forget the specs, it was a Mac Performa 14 years ago. =X

 

[Tourette]

ZX Spectrum or BBC micro, cannot remember which I had 1st.

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

Back in 1995, an Intel 386 based machine, i cant remember any other specs, except that it was around 30 MHz, and that i played Commander Keen and Supaplex on it. Good times. <3

First family computer was an IBM 286 with 5-1/4" floppy drive and a 20mb hard drive. First computer I paid for myself was a Gateway (cant remember the model) in '97 with a 400mhz processor and 20gb hard drive. I don't remember the RAM specs for either since I wasn't very tech savvy at the time.

 

[ColorfulObscurity]

Well... the first computer I actually owned, I'm still using. It's a piece of crap, but I love the thing anyways.

65.2 GB of memory
ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M
intel Celeron M 520 1.60GHz
1.8 GB of RAM

and right now the charger is in the process of killing itself and I'm too poor to buy a new one so I can't move my laptop at all without having to spend an hour trying to get it to charge again.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

486DX2
8 MB RAM
500MB HDD (it was really big at that time)
1mb vga card
