What was your first Computer?

[ProfessorLayton]

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.

Early 1996:

80486 X 2 @ 66 MHz
8 MB RAMM
408 MB HDD
Windows 95 and DOS

 

[Nemu]

Performa

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.

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.

My first desktop was an HP Pavilion.

--------------------
512MB RAM
Intel Celeron @ 800MHz
250MB HDD
onboard graphics and sound

My current one:
----------------
Intel Core2 Duo @ 3.1GHz
4GB RAM
500GB HDD

[Mekado]

hehe, i had a

386dx 33mhz
16mb RAM (that was a MONSTER for the time )
130mb hdd
5.25 floppy

[oktalist]

My first computer was bought within a month of my birth (1984).

Tandon
Intel 386
5.25" floppy drive
14" CRT monitor
EGA graphics
MS-DOS 5

Don't know anything else about it. We still have it in mothballs, though. And an IBM 286 from before I was born. My favourite, however, was the BBC Model B I was donated by a friend of the family.

An Acorn Electron - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Electron

My first x86 computer was a HP Pavilion built in the Czech republic, fantastically well built machine actually. 1.8ghz celery, 128MB of ram, integrated graphics, I think the hard drive was a 60GB or a 80GB and it ran XP Home.

It was a huge step up from the 633Mhz celery, 64MB ram, 40GB hard drive and WinME machine I kept running for the family for FIVE LONG YEARS without having to reformat.

 

[Aardvark Soup]

A Target 300-something running MS-DOS 6.0 and Windows 3.11. I don't know its specifics, but I remember a 'Turbo'-button that could be pressed to increase it's clock speed and that it had a horribly low amount of RAM.

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

A really old MAC back in 1997

 

[YoUnG205]

I cannot be specific like you were. but it was Daewoo, (Yes the car make!). Plus i was still only young and only used it for paint and mine sweeper amy way.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Entirely mine? I inherited my Dad's old work laptop a few weeks ago and have been getting Linux-related headaches ever since. Packard Bell Easynote with 512mb RAM and 40GB of hard disk space. I like the little thing.

 

[cieply]

Only thing I remember was 133 mhz pentium and prolly 32 mb of ram, though I'm not sure of the ram...

 

[Ioncannon]

My first computer is a Pravetc 16C - that's a Bulgarian built machine.
It has 12 MHz CPU, a 5" floppy disk and a 32MB hard disk.
I used to play Digger and Load Runner until I would start to dream I was still playing... but then the video card died and my father bought me a 100MHz 486DX4.
I still have the Pravetc, but I cannot find a replacement video card to see if it still works.

 

[esperandote]

LANIX
Pentium MMX 266MHZ
Windows ME
4GB HD
32 MB RAM
800x600 monitor (wich i kept using until i bought my Acer LCD)
