What was the first PC that you had and what were the specs?

>>4011879
First one was a pc1512 (8086, 512kb ram, two 5.25" dd drives, no hard disk, cga graphics).

Second was a clonic pentium 100mhz, with 128mb ram, 1gb hd and a whooping creative multimedia kit (cdrom4x and a sb16 ISA).

Second-hand Bull Micral 45. A 286 with 1MB RAM, fat 40 MB hard drive and only one 5.25" dd.

It was an already obsolete computer, but at least it was cheap.

Pentium MMX 166MHz
Trident ProVidia 9685 (I think)
Orchid Voodoo 1
Creative Labs AWE 64
1GB Quantum Fireball
64MB EDO RAM
6 x Mitsumi CDROM
Teac 3.5" FloppyDrive

Commodore 128D
486DX@75MHz, 12MB RAM, SB Pro

>>4011879
Pentium 4
S3 Graphics (Integrated) 32MB
40GB hardrive? Can't remember
512 RAM

We had a monochrome Atari system in the early 90's that I don't remember the model name, my only recollections of it were playing Centipede and turning the monitor on/off repeatedly to see the neat patterns the screen would make as it powered down (kids are dumb, you know)

The first proper PC we had was:
>1996
>Compaq, I think Presario? Not sure if that brand was HP's at the time
>100MHz Pentium
>16MB RAM
>1GB HDD
>CD drive (for the kids: CD drives were a selling point at the time)
>Windows 95
>pretty sure it just had onboard graphics/sound though it wasn't limited to beeping
With various incremental upgrades that PC served us until around 2003 and remains back in my folks' basement today

486DX2. It was stock 33MHz, but had a turbo button to clock it up to 66MHz. This was good since I had power when I wanted it and a slower clock for various DOS games when I wanted it. 4MBs of RAM, 270MB HDD, 4X CD-ROM drive, generic SoundBlaster card, DOS 6.0 and Win3.1. Had some crazy ass high-end specialized video card made by an old company called Sigma Designs. Was designed to be a card to allow full 640x480 30fps video playback at 16 million colors, called the ReelMagic. It sounded great in theory, but in practice very few companies bothered making ReelMagic-versions of their games. There's a RM version of Return to Zork, Dragon's Lair, The Psychotron, Escape from Cybercity, Gabriel Knight, Police Quest 4, Kings Quest 6, and that Lord of the Rings game by Interplay. These versions of the games are unique in having much higher quality video than their regular versions. As far as I know, it's pretty much impossible trying to find those versions of the game anymore.

iMac DV edition, ruby red.

It has a 450mhz PPC processor, 1 gig RAM, and a ATI Rage 128 VR with 8 MB of VRAM.

I'm pretty sure my first computer I owned for myself was a really shitty eMachine with a Pentium III and 128mb of ram, and i think a 10gb hdd

>>4011879
Samsung 286 at 12 mhz, 40mb hard drive, 640 k of ram, 3.5" floppy drive, VGA graphics and a boxy clunky mouse. Deluxe Paint was fun.

commodore 64, then a win95 box that came with a bunch of 3d realms games

>>4011879
my first computer was grey and it played commander keen and monster bash with really long load times and could only do pc speaker sounds

that's all I remember

Our second PC was a 486DX2/66 with 8 megabytes of RAM, Sound Blaster AWE32 and a CD-ROM drive, 2x or 4x speed, can't remember. Also can't remember how big the HDD was, not big enough. It's never big enough.

Third one was Pentium 200 Mhz with a 3dfx Voodoo (maybe a Matrox Mystique for 2D), 32 megs of RAM. If I remember correctly.

Fourth one was 500 Mhz Athlon + GeForce 256 and maybe 64 megs of RAM. My memory is getting hazy.

Dell L500r with upgraded 1ghz piii and integrated graphics. Was good enough for Diablo 2 and that's all that mattered at the time. Second pc was a P4 3.4ghz (or 3.2 can't remember for sure) and an ati 9800 pro. Still have the first pc and it works just needs new HD. Have 9800 pro still just for looking at I guess lol.

>>4011879
probably getting everything wrong
I think it had a 2GB hard drive, a 486 (one of the faster ones, really couldn't tell you which), and 16MB of RAM, maybe. Definitely had some Sound Blaster card, and it had a CD drive.
One of my earliest memories of using the computer was installing Windows 95 on the thing.

Dunno what video hardware it had, but it did do truecolor at 640x480, and it was fast enough to run Doom and Duke 3D at a decent pace for the day. Never did try Quake on it.
My dad said he spent $4k in 1994 for it.

300MB?

a 086

can't remember the specs precisely. I started typing on that thing before I could even write.

>>4011879

Packard Bell 486DX/33 w/ 4MB RAM and a ~400 MB hardrive. I remember I got a Pentium OverDrive upgrade for it (remember those?), which allowed me to play Quake. I could even play online via a 56.6 modem.

Anyone interested in seeing how much better the ReelMagic versions of games were, here's a video of the intro to Return to Zork from the RM version.

First? Not 100% positive but it was a Macintosh II I think. I used to play games like the Lemmings and Prince of Persia on it (early 1990s).

First PC I actually built myself was in 2006, GTX 8800 and I think some AMD processor, can't remember exactly what I had.

>people remember their specs from 2-3 decades ago in full detail

Yeah, people tend to remember special events.
