What was the first computer you owned?

My first computer was a windows 95.

A used Commodore 64 in around 1988. It was pretty sweet.

Haven't owned a computer yet ( too young), but the computer I'll remember growing up is a core 2 duo, gtx 275 my dad built me for graduation ( primary school). A bit old, but can max any none quad game.

My parents bought the Commodore-Amiga 500 around 1989.

I dont remember then extact specs but my first note worthy pc had a Geforce 4400 TI

An old Windows ME machine around 98 I believe. I remember the specs too. 64mb of Ram, Celeron Processor, 30GB HDD. I loved playing Age of Empires on it. :D

Commodore C-128

Tandy 1000SX

The two above sucked. So, I immediately followed them up with a Commodore Amiga A500.

The first PC I used was my fathers PC. All I remember is that it had MS-DOS installed. I played some games that he had from 5-1/4 floppy disks.

a 98 emachines e-tower.

Not too old, and not bad in its time.

My first computer was a standard windows 95 desktop computer. I can't remember much about it though, I was 5 when we got it I think.

Shared with brother, an old Sony Vaio

Pentium 2 333mhz

64mb ram

Ati rage intergrated 4mb.. Im assuming thats shared memory

win98, my god that thing crashes a lot. XP was a god send in comparison with stability.

8.5gb hdd, Always had drive space issue with fps games(maps). Amazing isnt it? An sd card holds the same memory for peanuts nowadays thats small as your fingertips. Couldnt even play counterstrike but team fortress classic was fine because of the limitation I played that game instead and had a blast with that. Also starcraft ran good on that lil thing.

IBM Aptiva 2176-133mhz Pentium, 16mb of ram, 2 gb hdd, ATI Mach64GT, Windows 95..Ran Duke Nukem 3D and Descent like a charm.

I still have the 200mhz Pentium pc we bought back in 1995, I think it cost about £3000. Lolz. I was a beast though.

Ah, my first PCI video card. I bought it, wasn't happy. Then I tried an S3 trio64V+, same thing. I finally ponied up some cash and bought a Matrox Millenium.

Zx81 back in 1981, Oh the black and white days of gaming!

Bunch of old timers,don't even know what most of that stuff means.I LOL'd when I read someone upgraded from 2MB RAM to 4MB RAM :P

I've been PC gaming since 2001,but the first PC I actually got was in 2005,a standard desktop PC,able to play games,wasn't built by me(back then,I had no PC understanding,I just wanted to play games),it served me nicely and played games decently,had Windows XP,1GB RAM,and 256MB Ati card,for the rest,can't remember,I think the CPU was Pentium 4.Lasted until 2007,when I bought a new one due to Shader Model 3.0,to play Bioshock and Crysis.Also,that 2005 PC went out with a bang,the PSU blew up last year,when I decided to try if it still works...

Well my first PC was built around 2002.

The year I was born. :o

First family desktop was a eMachines. 400MHz Celeron, 4GB harddrive, Rage Pro graphics, 64 MB RAM, all on a 15 inch CRT and Windows 98. I was pretty much the primary user, remember playing Homeworld and Starcraft on it. Those were the days, getting disconnected while playing Starcraft because someone calls the house (dial up) :lol:

But the first one that I really bought and considered mine was an Athlon 4000+, 2 GB DDR 400 RAM, a 7600GT, 250GB HD, and a 17 inch CRT. (which was quickly replaced by a 22inch LCD)

Also my first computer was an 8088

My dad bought our family an IBM XT personal computer back in the '80s.

I have fond memories of helping my dad drill holes on the top left corners of 3.5" diskettes to increase their capacity. :lol:

I believe we (My family) first had an HP running Windows 95. then I'm not sure what make the second desktop we got was but I know it had Windows 98.

After that we got a compaq with Windows XP (had a 40GB Hard Drive and 256 MB of RAM) and then we got a Dell desktop with pretty much the same specs I believe, but it was a slightly smaller tower.

The first computer that belonged to me was a toshiba laptop running ME with a 1024x768 14" screen, 700mhz (i think) pentium 3 cpu, 128mb ram, 8mb integrated graphics, 10GB HDD.

I ran HL, AOE2, Empire earth, RA2 all fine on it.

My next one was an acer with 1.6ghz pentium 4 M, 256mb ram, 16mb integrated, 20GB HDD on XP. I ran Halo CE on it. The glass textures were broken and not transparent but it ran the game ok.

My first computer was a windows 95.
