You guys had computers before I were born

 

yup!

 

Packard Bell
486SX 25
4 MB Ram
Win 3.11

 

Had an Amiga 500 and Commodore 64 (can't remember which one was first to be honest). Also used a BBC Acorn?, Dragon 32, Sinclair ZX81 and Spectrum.

The first gaming machine I built was based on the Voodoo 3 2000 with an Intel CPU (PII or PIII). Can't remember what motherboard anymore. Windows 98 and Soundblaster I think.

 

First PC was a apple somethingtosh. Ohhhh my bad 1999-2004 then that would be an AMD 64 athlon 2.8mhz 333mhz ram 512mb size 120gig HD 800mhz FSB , i'm young @ computer stuff that was big then.

 

First computer was a Sinclair kit.... assemble it yourself. Was an early model of what eventually became Timex/Sinclair. Bunch of the Commodore stuff along the way. First PC was a 12mhz 8086 (XT Turbo) with 1 meg o ram...... 360 of that was a ram disk, and a 20mb hard/card. Had both 3.5 and 5.25 floppy drives and a greyscale monochrome monitor.



This was back in the stone age you know...... :evil:

 

The first I actually built myself was wire wrapped and used a Motorola 6802 processor that was in 1987.

The first home computer I bought was an Atari 800XL in 1984 and came with a spanking tape backup

Oh, if it goes not just the first owned, then I have a couple more firsts to note.
The first computer I ever typed on was IIRC a ....I don't remember in early 1983. Details of how I came to see it doesn't matter.
The first computer I ever programmed on was a Multitech PC back in 1983-4. I was about 7-8yo at the time, more interested in games than programming lol.
The first computer I ever owned I told you.
The first computer I owned with a hard drive was an Amiga 1200 with a 20MB drive, in 1993.
The first PC I owned was in 1994. A 486-DX40 (IIRC) (pentium was still very expensive recently released CPU in Greece at least) with hmm, I don't remember how much RAM, it had a graphics card a Cirrus Logic 5428 (IIRC), a Creative Labs SB16 soundcard and I don't remember the hard drive that well, I think it was 500MB. But it had a double speed CDROM drive!!!!

 

the first system i actually had for myself is a socket 478 P4 3.0GHz machine with 1GB RAM, 200GB HDD and a Radeon 9550.... it was dead in terms of support when i had gotten it.....

 

I still run one of those Kris, actually several of them.

 

haha nice, too bad its dead now, the motherboard died and replacements are way too much lol....

it was horrible playing halo 1 on it though.... its like crysis on the system i have now

 

Danged bunch of n00b whippersnappers running all of that high end stuff and thinking you had it tough

Why back in MY day:
IBM 360 model 20
8K core memory
2560 MFCM card Reader/Punch - Read at 120 CPM punched at 60 CPM
1403 N1 Printer - Printed at 1100 LPM.
This was in 1972

 

First computer I bought: Amiga 500



Loved it. Used it from about 1987 until 1993, when I bought a Pentium 90Mhz system from Cybermax.
