CAPGOD

486 DX4/100

4 MB RAM (later expanded to 8MB)

512K graphics card (EISA!!!) I later expanded it to 1MB by purchasing a 512K chip that went onto the card.

14.4 Kbps modem (external)

4x CD-ROM

512 MB HDD

Win 3.11 (later upgraded to Win95)

Sound Blaster 16

Ummm AMD Duron @ 1.2GHz 768mb ddr 80gb HD Samsung ide Radeon 9550 modded to 9600 with windows xp xD good old times...

no it was like an ambra ibm computer with windows 95 P1(dotn know the speed) I think like 2-4mb of ram sound blaster sound card

Well I've had PCs for a while... upgraded them here and there by myself... but the first one I built ground up was...

2800+ Athlon XP Barton Core (OCd to 2.4ghz OMGZZZ) 512kb cache!!

x850 Ati

2gb PC3200 OCZ RAM

NFS-7 Motherboard (best of mobo for XP)

SoundBlaser Live SoundCard

Antec earth watts 550

This machine was actually pretty solid and can still run a lot of the latest games.

Now I'm running (just built it a week ago)

Phenom II 550be (not OCd yet. Could not unlock to quad but still a beast)

4870 512mb (was going to buy 1gb but realized I didn't need it)

4gb Kingston 1333mhz RAM

ma477td Pro ASUS Mobo (sickkkk motherboard for the price brand new AM3+ Crossfire 2oz copper)

550 watts OCZ Fatality (I know it's fatality... but for the price it's a solid PSU that's modular pretty damn happy with it).

Really happy with this PC. When I build a PC I try to build it best bang for the buck.

Nvidia 5200 agp card, 256mb of ram 40gig HDD and a AMD 2200+ cpu. That was back when doom 3 came out. Few months ago i did a major upgrade on my pc..

GOOD TIMES!!

Back in 1996. Pentium 100mhz, 8mb ram, cirrus logic 1mb graphics card, aztec sound card, 1gb hard drive, quad speed cd-rom, 17in crt monitor, windows 95. Cost me around £1600:lol:

superchronik

haha it's insane how quickly technolofy advances.

I don't remember all the exact details, but it was a 386/66mhz with 20mb HDD. i was like 10 years oldor 11, long time ago.

Should have gone full size ATX, got some good cooling and taken that PH II near 4ghz ;)[QUOTE="CAPGOD"]

On my first ever build too, it's all in the sig.

X360PS3AMD05

lol, to be honest I have seen zero perfomance boost in games even after overclocking it from 3.1 to 3.52. This CPU even has two dormant cores which I may be able to unlock to create a cheap quad core, but based on some comparisons I feel it's still not even worth the bother trying.

And I already had an m-ATX case lying around from a cheapo pre-built PC i'd been using for 5 years, so I thought why not re-use it? I may as well save the money I would have spent on a new case and put it towards a 4890. It's a nice enough design, not tacky in any way - I just cleaned off all the dust and unpeeled the old stickers. It was a tight fit though with today's massive GPU sizes, I can tell you that, but it all seems to run stable and doesn't have any glaring issues that a boost in fan speed can't fix lol. Very happy with it overall.

My first full-custom build from scratch was only a few years ago (2006), but i'd been messing with other computers from many years before that.

My first full-solo build was:

Core 2 Duo E6600
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 mobo
2GB G-Skill PC6400 RAM
XFX 8800GTX
Antec P180i Case
320GB WD SATAII HDD
Antec TruPower Trio 550w PSU.

I've had 2 computers since then :)

Well let's see...if I remember it was something like this,

an Athlon 3000+ @ 1.1Ghz, 512mb of Corsair DDR memory (can't remember the speed), a WD 80GB HHD, an Nvidia FX5200, an ECS K7S5A socket A MB, a cheapy SB audio card, a SONY CD-ROM optical drive and some kind of crap 400w PS...all packed into a crappy Compaq case that I bought my 1st PC in as a refurb. ( which I did get with an awesome Compaq 19" CRT monitor) that thing was really, really nice ! ...hench, since then I've made several upgrades and PC builds........The closet in my den (PC room) looks like a warehouse for used PC parts.....:P
