Specs of your first computer...?

^^ question... what year did you get or built your first computer?Specs of your first computer...?
My first one was 1996-1997Pentium 1 @133mhz32 mb of ramOnboard 1mb video.2.1 Gb harddriveSpecs of your first computer...?
1995144mhz processor500 mb hdI cant remember the ram I think it was 2 mb8mb video card I think15 inch monitor bleow 800X600 I know that but I cant remember the exact resolutionDOS
The first one I owned was an atari 400. Wow, I remember loading the game zaxon from an audio tape that took around 45 min to start up (that is if it didn't glitch out) I would wake up extra early on Saturday morning just to start loading a game....wow we've come along way. The following is from myoldcomputer.com ''Introduced as an entry level computer based on the same MOSTEK 6502A processor running at 1.70 MHz with 16K of user RAM built in. It had a membrane ****keyboard (not very touch type friendly) with 62 touch sensitive keys and 4 special keys to the right of the keyboard.It stood out amongst the other computer offerings of the day with its graphics and sound capabilities. It was capable of producing 128 colors on the screen using the CTIA video processor and up to 256 colors with the upgraded GTIA video processor chip used on later versions of the computer. The 400 was first amongst the early computers to be able to display 4 programmable screen objects simultaneously called 'Player-missiles' (also known as 'Sprites' on Commodore computers). This was at a time when the most computers produced only monochrome displays or very primitive 8 color screens. The graphics were handled by a custom chip called the ''ANTIC'' (CTIA/GTIA). This chip was designed to work as a sort of co-processor to take the work load away from the main processor to display graphics and color on the screen.''
In '98, all i remember was that it had 2 gigs HD.
AMD 3000

1gb of RAM

7600GT

200GB HDD Enermax 460W

One year ago.
First computer was a Mac PowerBook Duo 270cIt had a 33MHz 68030 processor, 16MB of RAM, 340MB hard drive, 8.5'' screen, and external CD drive. I used Macs up until 1998. First Wintel PC was a P2-333, 128MB of RAM, ATI Rage AGP video, and Windows 98/NT 4.0 dual boot. I did own a Pentium Classic 200 at the same time as the P2-333, but that was a second hand thing that I used only for the DOS games that I didn't want messing with the settings on my brand new P2. :)

[/QUOTE]I was the same way - although I can't remember the specs of the first Mac I technically owned. I believe it was a Power Mac, but the only hardware I ever dealt with on it was changing the video card to a PCI ATI Rage Orion card to play Unreal.The first computer I build was pretty much a junker - Pentium III, Intel motherboard with onboard graphics (worked fine for Diablo II), a fairly big hard drive at the time (20GB), 128MB of RAM, and the rest of the parts were acquired cheaper than online retailers at a computer fair (nothing like buying a motherboard at a place where they're unlabeled and the only protection is offered by an ESD baggie if you're lucky). The computer wasn't a gaming machine, I used it mainly for listening to music, internet surfing, and naturally the occasional bout of Diablo II/Starcraft.

Ahh.. I think it was quite good for the year 2000..It was Pentium 3 (No idea what mhz)440 MX Geforce! (WOoOoOW)Some unknown Creative Audio CardIntel MotherboardUnknown amoutn of Ram.And and I still have the parts in my room... :D It's in the upper shelf in my room.. Standing and dusting..Though it looks old and I like it :)

I had a Commodore 64...like 1986?
Does a ZX Spectrum 16Kcount.I had to add loads off stuff for it to be usefull. :lol:
TI-99 when I was 3 years old.Specs 256 bytes of memory16KB of VDP (Graphics Memory)3.0MHZ ProcessorCan't remember if it had any storage medium other than a 5 1/4 floppy.
Commodore 64 with 1MHz 6502 processor,64KB RAM, 5.25'' floppy, connect to TV... then IBM PC XT Clone(10MHz 8086)with 640K RAM, 10 MB Hard Drive, both 3.5 %26 5.25 floppies and monochrome screen... and 2400 baud external RS232 modem...Mid to late 80's... those were the days!
I only computer's i used were from friends,family or school,i never owned one,but i will build one by the end of summer with:X2 3600
1GB DDR2 667 CORSAIR VALUE RAM (Can't afford 2GB ATM)
eVGA or XFX 8600GT (Both are $100 after MIR)
BIOSTAR TF560 A2+It'll be a HUGE jump from what i use now (you don't wanna know...)
2 1/2 years ago I built my first computer. After seeing Doom 3 and hl2, I didnt want to miss out. It felt so amazing playing those games on max settings. Athlon 64 3800 939 pin1GB ram320 GB hdd space480W psu2 6800 ultras in SLI
A Compaq that i got from my uncle was my first pci believe. I dont remember the exact specs of it but it must of had 64mb of ram (because i remember bringing it up to 128mb) and probably an Intel i386. The other specs are beyond me because that was a really long time ago.
