[mightyrocket]

Tell me, what was your first computer?

 

[Doomulation]

Yeah i remember it...it was a thing 16 mhz computer with 4 mb ram i think...:satisfied

 

[Clements]

Only had two PCs, first in 1999 and current in 2002. PCs were considered a bit of luxury so I never had one, but now I'm a bit older and the prices have come right down, I got my new one. Never spent a day off it, so it was worth the money.

[GuestX]

My first PC *is* a P2 @ 400 Mhz, 320 MB RAM, Geforce4 mx 420
& pci sound card. And I still have to use the crap

 

[gokuss4]

4MB RAM
1MB video card (i think)

that was when i started on the computer when i was a wittle kid of 3

yeah i remember playing Mortal Kombat 1 on it when i was 4 that was back than when my dad was more interested in video gaming and sometimes even "piracy"

my dad said his first computer was a 286 12mhz, 2mb of ram, cga display

 

[AlphaWolf]

commodore 64 - I still have it too.

 

[internalised]

Amiga 500, which is still here somewhere, even though it ate up all the games one day.. very unpredictable is that machine

 

[DuDe]

A 200mhz Pentium with MMX support, Ati Rage3D video card, 3 gigs HD, Acer 24x Cd-ROM, and a Creative SB16 sound card => quite a beast for its time.
