Your very first computer

[MasJ]

Well, I got this idea from the other topic about somebody's super duper specs. Anyway, to start it off, my first computer was a ZX Spectrum, from Sinclair but the first PC I had was, a 286. But I was really small at that time to use it for much except for games. When I REALLY got into computers was when I had this:
Pentium 133Mhz
4MB RAM
1.2GB Seagate
2x Creative CDROM


Pretty cool system, it could play mechwarriors and all those cool games . Commander Keen too .

Does a commondore 64 count?

If not my first real computer was:

Pentium 100
16 mb ram
1 Gb HD
4x CD

Heh, good ol' days...

[dgamer4000]

my first ever computer in 1992 was...

System Spex
-216 mb
-16 sdram
-133 mhz
-???3D ACCELERATOR???(is there even 3d back then??? i think 3d was first achieved in 1995 from the n64 game, supermario 64)
-No cd-rom drive
-big floppy disks.. what do they call them?

App list: (Partial)
-Solitaire
-Minesweeper
-Paintbrush
-page maker
-printshop

OS: Win 3.1

There was 3d long before the N64, I can assure you that. Maybe not so much in games, but pre-rendered 3d art existed, I know that for sure. And besides, judging from your system specs, I don't think you had a 3D accelerator. I don't think they existed back then.

BTW: I forgot to mention:

S3 1mb Video-Card
Win 3.1

my very first computer is 1983' Olliveti M19XT :

Intel 8088 XT CPU @ 4,77Mhz
Hercules HGA-MONO Graphics Adapter
512kB RAM
10MB Seagate HDD
5.25" 360KB Floppy Disk DRive
13" Olliveti MonoGreen Monitor

wanna know something? i still have it here, right beside me, and it's 100% working

our first computer was a 486

don't know everything about it but we had a cd rom drive, 2 disk drives and win 3.1

we left it back home so i don't know what we had...

I wish I had one of IBM's original '81 line.

My first two were C-128 and Coleco. My first PC is from 92'. It is an Acer packaged 286 I believe. I still use the 3.5" floppy drive from it. I had a 1.3 gig hd, a PCI 14.4k modem, and three modules that amounted to 2.4mb EDO RAM.

A Heathkit H-8 with 32 KB RAM with dual cassette drives. Came in a kit that you had to solder the components to the circuit boards. My Mom & Dad spent 3 weeks every night building it.

Whole thing went to the trash about 5 years ago. Should've donated it to a museum somewhere

[chaychigga]

Intel 80486 DX2 66
Cirrus Logic 2MB DRAM VLB slot
32MB EDO RAM
420MB WD Caviar 420
4X Panasonic 3CD Changer
5.25" and 3.5" Floppy

Those were some tight specs in 1994 .. I had the fastest computer on the block = D. Still runs Windows 98se (minimum spec).

16 MB RAM
1.2 GB hard drive

[MasJ]

Oh yeah, I too had a Cirrus Logic card, those were the best out there, at that time Cirrus was the leader in the GFX market, wonder what became of them..

[serge2k]
