Gosh. I feel bad for having two old unused PCs and a busted laptop in the house.

hehe im actually plotting on a large ebay sale of parts and the parts that dont go that i have no immediate use for or not directly useful will go to the charity shop

My dad threw out what basically amounted to two or three complete PCs before we moved last year. I half wish we'd kept our first PC ever. It was a dinosaur even when we got it.

Yep our first computer in the late 90s was a Pentium MMX with 16MB RAM. No 3D accelerator.

1gb hdd?

1gb hdd?

Probably, more than enough for Windows 98SE and a few DOS games.

my 1st machine was a 66mhz cirix or somethin with like 16mb ram, no 3d and 700mb hdd

[Inferno.]

Upgraded the RAM with a 64MB stick but the motherboard only supported like 70MB or something.

My Grandad had a Cyrix 200MHz with 100 odd MB RAM and a Voodoo 1 (then a 2 later on) for absolutely years.

I got given a Pentium 2 with one of those weird CPUs. Processors shouldn't connect to the motherboard in the same way NES games go into a NES.

they must have listened to you since they never made anything like it since those pentium 3's

Pentium 4s were shite, I had a 3GHz HT P4 for a few years, was a hell of an upgrade from the Celeron I used before that though.

Yep our first computer in the late 90s was a Pentium MMX with 16MB RAM. No 3D accelerator.

Cyrix 120Mhz, 28MB RAM (really 32 but 4MB was "borrowed" for video; again, no 3D card), 2GB hard drive.

"Cosmic, are you finished playing that demo? No? Too bad, you're deleting the fucking thing right now. 50MB? Do you know that's the equivalent of 5,000 Word documents? Space is precious. I don't care if it took you five hours to download it on dial-up, it's your own fault for being stupid enough to play these computer games where you run around like a blue arsed fly shooting people. I really don't like you playing those games. No wonder your school work is suffering if this is the sort of drivel you're surrounding yourself with. I despair of you, boy, I really do. What's this one called again? Half Life? Is that game violent too? That game sounds violent. And just how much is this phone bill costing us, young man?"

*wipes tear from eye*

Those were the days.

Actually the best story involves my mate. His first console was a PS1 his parents bought for him with a copy of Tomb Raider when he was nine or ten. He sets it up and starts playing it for the very first time, at which point his elderly granddad wanders into the room, sits down in his chair and immediately asks my friend if he's noticed that Lara Croft appears to be making orgasm noises every time she climbs onto a rock.

I played GTA on my first PC, not like I hadn't already played it to death on the Playstation...

That's a really nice conversation to have with a 10 years old kid
The kind of convo you can't forget. Neither it nor the noises
