I don't remember the specs. The year was 1989 when we got it and I think it had 16MB of ram or was it 16MB of disk space? The PC was called 3.8.6.
It had a B/W 6 or 8" Samsung monitor. A mouse with 2 buttons and a very thick mechanical keyboard.

First computer was a C64 in -86 and the first PC was some 486 that we got in -94. Doom 2 and NHL95 among others were unbelievably beautiful games The memory, processor and the rest was doubled up and it was sooooo fast at the time. Don't remember the specs tho.

Before the C64 we had Tennis (Pong?) and some other games on a videogame thingy I can't remember.

Well my family has had a few PCs over the years. The earliest one I remember was a Packard Bell, I think - with an Amstrad monitor. Didn't have Windows, I remember my dad running a bunch of commands for me so I could play some game (something akin to Space Invaders, but not sure what it was).

Then I remember a PC with Windows 3.0 (I think!). Then one that started off as Win 95 and worked it's way up to Win 2K.

The first PC that I had, that I bought myself around 2005 was a Intel P4 @2.8Ghz, 512MB RAM, 128MB graphics. Can't really remember the specs. Though for some reason I can remember the Mobo model number. ASUS P5GDC Deluxe.

Can remember the first pc we bought, think my uncle built it for us.
Running 95, the hard drive was something like 40mb of disk space. If i deleted pretty much everything on the disk i could put warcraft: orcs and humans on it
RAM was in KB still, think the thing was pretty old when we got it, must have been about '96?

I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.

Epic bump.

For a desktop PC: Compaq Presario CDS 833, if I recall. I think the CPU was a 486DX 33MHz. Tabworks interface over Windows 3.1 or 3.11. The rest I can't recall at the moment. Used consoles long before that. It got me into PC gaming, but was not worth the parental-mandated trade-in of all my consoles to cover a pittance of the thing's price. You can tell by my very presence here how successful that scheme was to get me to stop playing video games.

I even remember having wanted a Mac instead, because it was what I was used to at school.
We had Commodore 64's at school Then it was the Apple IIe.

Yup, I used comps before the Compaq, but had none to myself apart from calculators and game consoles.
