When and what was your fist computer?

[Will98]

The title says it all.

My first computer was a pentium3 E-machines with only 256 megs of ram and a 20gb hard drive. Thing was a piece of art. I loved. Good ol' windows 2k (my favorite from Microsoft). Pacman and frogger were the only good things for that machine.

That was in 2001.

My dad's first was... a 486 and it was in 1991 or 92. It was a huge fortune. I don't know the specs as I was too young back then (grade 1)

I remember my first comp being a horizontally-put Dell with its monitor lying on top, using MS-DOS. And it couldn't even run Win 95 smoothly (That is, in and of itself, enough said lol). The only game there was Mario, and I remember having my mother open it for me whenever I want to play game (It'd be creepy enough for a kid to use command lines, now that I think of it lol)

Edit: Lol I didn't notice the "when". It was like, in 199x? I was too small then to remember.

 

[Will98]

So Checkmate, you were in Primary school, then.

I had gotten my very own, first computer in 2001. I was 7 too. My very first computer that I had ever used was my Dad's Dell Desktop Workstation. P4, 80Gb HDD, 768megs ram, 64 onboard GMA and a CD-RW drive. That to me was the peak of computing machines.

Mr. PhantomZwei, do you still use Dos now. Or have you forgotten and have moved onto the pretty versions of windows?

 

[PhantomZwei]

I'm using Win 7. And yes, I still use DOS in some occasions (For example, teasing my friend by changing his computer's password lol)

 

[Will98]

That's cool. I once knew a bunch of Dos commands, but now I've sadly forgotten most of them. I had to re-learn somethings when Vista came out. That was a fun OS. It was something new every day. I once messed up in dos and de-activated my account in Vista. So funny.

My first computer was an assembled machine with a P4 prescott processor, an asrock motherboard, 512mb of DDR-ram and a western digital ide-HDD of 160gb and an nvidia 5500 GPU (256mb).

 

[Will98]

You were pretty set up then. When was this?

 

[shinigamidaiko]

It was back in 2005, it was good at the time but not exceptional.

My family's 1st PC was an NEC PowerMate S4100.
How I knew the model series? Easy, it's sitting in the hallway inside my house right now, outside my room.
Had it back in the '95. The OS was Windows 3.11.
I used to play Prince of Persia(1st gen), Warcraft 2, Top Gun: Fire at Will, Red Alert and the latest game that I managed to play with the PC was Starcraft Broodwar(which I bought on Christmas Eve 1998), thou I have to turn the sound off (plus some other features), just so that the game can play a lil bit smoother. :P

 

[Tsubame]

My first PC eh...... i dont really remember the years.
is around 200X... and the spec is... P4 2.4 GHz | 512 MB RAM | 80 GB HDD | 128MB GeForce 5500FX
thats all i remember... d(0_0)b

 

[Will98]

That... P4 config. probably would have been around 2001-2. Can't can't remember rightly though.

 

[Dagonath]

My first computer was an old year 2000 computer with intel celeron processor, 256MB of ram, 10GB of HDD and good old 17" CRT screen. It ran a Windows Millenium Me OS

 

[faceless]

My first comp was a 386 handme down given to me by a friend who just upgraded to a 486. I was constantly going a local BBS and playing games like "Trade Wars" and "Barney Splat". He had already installed Doom 1 on it as well as Wolfenstein 3D.

1982 for Xmas my dad and mom got me a Commodore 64 with ALL the external attachments. I still have it and it still all works :). Then in 86 I got a Compaq Desk Pro 386 and my grandpa got me the IBM Model a year later. My next one was in 1993 a 486DX2-66 Packard Bell. lol! GOD I remember all this crap haha it came with Windows 3.1.1, in 95 I went to Win-95 so I could play Duke Nukem 3-D wahaha what a joke that was I even got the Plutonium Pack expansion for it from 3D Realms.

I still have every one of those PC's and they work still. Guess nostalgia and all keep em in the closet :)

 

[Will98]

I should bring my P2 over...Didn't know you played Duke Nukem. That is a pretty intense game. Lots of stuff to blow up. Most odd story lines though.

 

[Kimmy]

Yea it is a strange one for sure lol, the new one left a lot to be desired but guess since I was such a fan of it from old I just had to get it when it finally came out.

 

[Will98]

Well, I guess in it's time, the only thing it had going for it was the videos in the game. Those weren't too bad...The guy who voiced Duke was great. That's it.

 

[Kimmy]

Come Get Some!!!!! lol

 

[Will98]

Raaawr!!!! Darn! Those Alien turds are gonna' pay for shooting up my ride.

 

[epicpenguin123]

[klv12gcn]

I bought my first PC in 2005. One of my friends helped me built that computer. It has Celeron CPU @ 2.4Ghz, 256 MB RAM and 40 GB hard disk driver, and it ran on Windows XP.

 

[Skylyn]

my first computer was in 2003. 20 GB HDD, Pentium 3, Windows 98, 128 MB RAM. I already forgot the VGA

 

[Perplexing]

My first PC ( as in the one I bought myself, not counting the one my family had) was a Dell Optiplex around the year 2002-2003. Soon after I moved up to a Compaq Presario and then I said screw it and built a PC and I have never purchased another pre-built PC since.

 

[Nacht]

My first PC was around 2006, with AMD Atlon 64 3000+ as the processor, 512MB DDR1 only lasted for 5 years
built it again myself with Phenom II X4 3.4Ghz as the processor with 4GB DDR3
