Tell us about the first computer you owned >Compaq Presario,

>>59369345
That same Compaq case, but with a low end core2duo, 2gigs of ram. Came with a CRT with a tiny ass screen, and really horrible speakers. Over time it got 5 gigs of RAM and an HD 4350

Packard Bell 100 MHz Pentium, 16mb ram, 1gb HDD. Everything was proprietary. The motherboard sat horizontally at the bottom even though it was a tower case. It had one slot which was used for a riser card, and the riser card had the PCI and ISA slots on it. It was a nightmare to upgrade anything on it. Partly because I was a kid and partly because that motherboard was a piece of shit. Back then you had to deal with IRQ conflicts and Windows 95's shitty hardware detection.

some fucking 286 machine that couldn't run wolfenstein because it had an ega vid card and not vga.

An Apple iie my dad bought from a sale at a retirement community or something. I don't have it anymore, which is a shame.

My first x86 computer was some Compaq presario with a 400mhz AMD k6-2 and 64mb ram. Remember putting a 30GB hard drive in and upgrading the ram to 128MB. And installing slackware on the thing eventually.

Flat CompaQ PC with 512mb of ram, 100gb hdd and 64mb nvidia graphic card. I never played games so it was really fine for that time

Amiga 600. It was a good machine.

Not sure about the GPU but it could run Age of Empires just fine.
CRT and a mechanical keyboard of course

My dad brought one of these from work when I was like 2, it was originally the 486DX4 model but it was board swapped up to a Pentium 90 around 1995ish. Still have it in a neglected state, had it board swapped again up to a PMMX-166 with a pair of shitty Fujitsu disks and 32 MB of RAM.

Now I have a nice P90PCI that I'm slowly decking out eventually to use as my main DOS box.

1.4 ghz pentium 4 willamette
384 mb of ram
some ati rage gfx card
windows xp

was okay at first but ran like shit after a few years

my next pc was first gen core 2 duo that is still going strong 10 years later

386DX with 8 MB of RAM and 20MB hard drive (later upgraded to 40 MB that looked like a brick and was noisy as fuck), self built.

>>59370525
Oh, it was an Am386DX-40.

>>59370525
>>59370547
can't believe you could even still buy a 20MB drive by that time

sounds like a nice little poorfag build though, the DX-40 was a pretty good choice

>>59370616
Yeah, it was pretty much salvaged/discarded parts put together, but at least it was mine (and I miss the beige case for some reason).

using a first gen core 2 duo as your main cpu, ishygddt

First computer when I got into computing:
400mhz AMD K6
64MB ram which we paid some guy to upgrade to 128mb
4GB HDD
15 inch 800x600
Windows 98

But before that:
90mhz intel pentium
8mb ram
100mb hdd
Windows 3.1
but I only ever played gorillas.bas on qbasic and paint on that system,

before that:
Atari 1200XL, but I only ever played games that my parents got me that run off floppy disks.

>>59369345
Same story.

G3 powerbook

I've used boxes more destitute than his first system as daily drivers post-2010.

If you're not a child who falls apart without a constant stream of mind-numbing media and video games, it's perfectly doable.
