I'm still on my first, slow as hell PC. đź‘Ž I didn't join the PC world until 2001. Here are the earth shattering specs:

1.2 Ghz AMD Athlon Processor
256 MB RAM
40 GB Maxtor HD
64 MB ATI Radeon 7000 graphics card
 
The first PC i got is the one im still usein now.

as bought:
1.3ghtz amd
30gb HD
128mb ram
nvidia riva pro graphics card

with upgrades:
512mb ram
new nvidia fx card

this is now my dad n mums pc i onlyt use it to use the internet at home

My pc

2100xp AMD
80gb HD
1024mb RAM
epox MB
GF4 ti 4600 graphics card

Got this pc three years ago and was the bomb but now i want something a little faster and more stable, so im moving ovewr to MAC as soon as i can.
 
Our first computer had an Intel Pentium 75MHz, 24mb of ram, 800mb HD and some crappy vga card.
Years passed and we bought a new one, yay.

900MHz Athlon
256 ram
40gb HD
GeForce 2 MX400
some mb with a VIA chipset

After that we have upgraded it a bit. In fact, I believe we have replaced every part on it over time. Now it has:

AXP2600+(Barton)
512mb DDR (400mhz)
Radeon 9100
Epox 8RDA3+ mobo
200gb HD and stuff.

At the moment I'm using my laptop which I got in December. It's an Acer Aspire 1681LMI;

Pentium M715 (and other stuff, the laptop's a centrino)
512mb DDR
Ati Mobility Radeon 9700
60GB HD
And a dual layer dvd-burner


I'm thinking of buying a new graphics card for the desktop, but there aren't really any new games out there, that I really wanted to play, that would require an ĂĽberfast computer.(Expect GTR of course, but it plays just fine on it :D)
 
At home I have had 3 computers that were mine (not my families, but my own.) I started out with an old IBM computer with Windows (3.1?, can't remember, but It was the release before Win 95 I believe.) I then moved up to Compaq Presario with Windows 95. I upgraded the OS to 98, but never really upgraded the computer at all. Now I have a 2-3 year old Compaq Presario with 512 RAM, a 120 gb hd, 2.08 ghz AMD processor, and a 64 mb onboard graphics card. My work computer is pretty rad though. Its a custom built PC with a 2.8 ghz Processor, 70 GB hd (meh, Don't need any higher really), a 128MB ATI Video card, and 1 and a half GB of ram. I attempted to max the ram out at 2gb, but My stick combination left a few MB's over, so it won't let me operate with all 3 in there :( But now I have a 512 MB stick that I'm going to attempt to convince my boss to let me take home. So yeah, guess it's all good :lol:.
 
An old Atari. I forget which, it wasn't an ST.

Compaq 486 sx50, 16mb ram (upgraded to 32) 900mb HDD.

Mitsubishi 486 dx66 32mb ram, 900mb HDD

Amiga 600+ :)

Dell PIII 500mhz 128mb Ram, 13gb HDD, 16mb Voodo3000 graphics card. (this was the dogz when i got it).

Current- Custom, AMD Athlon64 3200+ 512mb Ram 1x10gb HDD 1x80gb HDD, 128mb Saphire Radeon 9800Pro.
 
1st: Windows 98, 700 MHz processor, 128MB of RAM, 18GB Hard Drive, GeForce MX 100 video. Was top of the line when my dad owned it. I used it too.

2nd: Same as listed above, but given to me so my dad could have a better one.

That one lasted me until up to about '04:

3rd: Windows XP Home, 2.2GHz Processor, FIC AU31 motherboard, 512MB of RAM, 164GB Hard Drive, onboard GeForce MX4 video (upgraded to GeForce 6800XT), 250W Power Supply (upgraded to 450W).
 
1) We had a ZX Spectrum 16k when I was a kid. Oh the glory days of Manic Miner and typing in game code from magazines! We even upgraded it to 48k memory. Vroom vroom!

2) Next we got an Amstrad CPC 6128. More BASIC programming and classic 8 bit games.

3) Amiga 1200 (14Mhz 68EC020 CPU, 2Mb RAM). That was ****ing AWESOME! I remembering working one summer and saving up to buy a 110 Mb hard drive and an expansion card with a 33Mhz 68030 CPU and 8Mb RAM!

4) 150Mhz Pentium w/ 32Mb RAM and 1.6Gb HD. It was a Packard Bell and it came with a really ****ty GUI program called Navigator that allowed you to view youre files and run software without having to deal with Windows 95 directly.

5) 1.3Ghz P4 w/ 128Mb and 40Gb HD. I had this PC for about 4 years and it underwent several upgrades - more HD space, more memory, better graphics cards, etc.. I eventually ditched it and built myself a:

6) Athlon64 3200+ w/ 512Mb RAM. I did this on the cheap last year so I went with a single channel memory setup and an AGP mobo so I could keep my old graphics card. I regretted it and saved up some money to build:

7) Athlon64 3700+ w/ 2Gb RAM, c. 700GB HD space and 256Mb 7600GT. This is my current PC. It's a noisy mofo though. I gotta do something about that.

I still have PC no. 6 but I've nowhere to put it. It's got Ubuntu on it and I had it running for a while, but it's just sitting on the floor doing nothing now.

Bought in 1994:
Packard Bell
100mhz
32mb ram (upgraded to 72mb)

Dont understand the need to buy a new PC every year.
 
My parents bought the following computers:

1997: Intel Pentium II at 266mhz, local store built. 6GB harddrive, 64mb of RAM, Asus motherboard of some sort. It ran on Windows 95.

2001: Local Store built again, running on a Asus P4B motherboard and Intel Pentium 4 processor at 1.5ghz. 40GB harddrive, 256mb of RAM, and ran a 32mb Matrox G400 or G450 video card. It ran Windows XP Home.

2003: HP on some sort of Asus motherboard and Intel Pentium 4 w/ HT processor at 2.6ghz. 120GB harddrive, 512mb of RAM, 64mb Nvidia Geforce 4 MX440. This too ran Windows XP Home.

Early 2005: Another HP. This time though it's an AMD Athlon 64 3300+ (HP only special processor). This computer also used an Asus motherboard. It had a 160GB harddrive and 512mb of RAM. 128mb of integrated graphics. WinXP Home again.

Late 2005: I saved up enough money to build my own computer. I got myself an AMD Athlon 64 3700+, Asus A8N-SLi motherboard, 1GB of Corsair RAM, 250GB SATA harddrive, 80GB IDE harddrive and 256mb Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX. This computer runs Windows XP Pro and Mac OS X, and hopefully, Ubuntu soon.
 
I have had numerous systems starting back to 1985 with the first Mac sporting a hefty 10mb hard drive and 128k of ram to my current AMD X2 4800+ with 1.5 Tera bytes of HD space and 2gb's of ram. I have owned every generation of Intel's processors, and currently own the AMD mentioned above along with a Mac G4 Dual Processor dedicated for recording. I couldn't even begin to guess how many different computers I've had in the last 22 years but I think this is a fair summary.
 
We got out first PC in maybe 1998. It is my mom's now. I don't know the original specs, but the following are current:

Compaq of some sort
1.2Ghz Duron (woo!)
320MB of as slow as you can get RAM (maybe 266Mhz, I haven't cared to look)
20GB HDD
Voodoo video card (16MB IIRC)

In 2000, I got my own.

Compaq Presario 5000 series.

Stock:
700Mhz Duron
64MB RAM (266?)
8MB nVidia TNT2 video
20GB HDD

Upgrades:
1.2Ghz Athlon
768MB RAM
Radeon 9200 128MB

For Chrismas '03 my parents bought a Dell Inspiron 1100 for me since I was itching for a laptop.

Specs:
2.3Ghz Celeron D (works well)
256MB RAM (now 512MB)
Intel 845 series video (8MB)
The RAM upgrade was definitely worth it, seeing as Ubuntu didn't run too quickly with the 256MB.

Finally, after using the Compaq for six years (laptop was more of a secondary computer) I decided I'd make use of my somewhat new (first) job and build a new PC. And build one I did.

Custom PC Specs:

Case: Thermaltake Armor Series Black Full Tower with 25CM side panel fan

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4Ghz, 4MB L2 cache)

Video Card: Leadtek nVidia Geforce 7900GT 256MB

RAM: Patriot eXtreme Performance 1GB DDR2 800

Power Supply: OCZ GameXStream 600W

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 320GB SATA

Fans: 2 Thermaltake 90mm blue LED fans (replace stock 90mm case fans)

Optical Drives: 2 Lite-On DVD+/-RW drives with Lightscribe + 20 free Lightscribe DVD RWs

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4

Speakers: Logitech THX Z-5300e 5.1 Surround

Monitor: Hyundai L90D+ 19" LCD

And now I've added another identical stick of RAM, replaced the heatsink with a Tuniq Tower, and after cracking my motherboard due to that heatsink (I tightened it way too much..), I am getting this eVGA nForce 680i via UPS tomorrow.

Future plans for the PC involve a move to a quad core Core 2, 4GB more RAM, two 8800GTXs, and, if they ever become useful, an Ageia PhysX card.
 
My first computer was when my Parents bought a brand new Packard-Bell desktop, which was in 1997.

All I know is that it had a weird little logo, and that It could play Putt Putt. :dopey:

The first Modern computer we had was in 2001 my mom bought a Hewlett Packard desktop, it ran windows 2000! :eek: I knew nothing of the specs.


The first "good" computer was a Compaq Presario in 2003 in my dads apartment.

40 gig HD, 128 MB of RAM, and it was a workhorse.

We had that until last year, when we got the current computer, a Dell Dimension E521, AMD Athlon x64 Dual Core Processor 3800+ running at 1 gigahertz, and with 1GB of RAM, with a 160 GB Hard Drive. Best computer ever.


At my moms house, we have a Dell E520 from 2005, Intel processor of some sort, 1.8 gigahertz, and 1GB of RAM. Nice PC. :)


What I want?

I want a Notebook.


It would be a HP TX1000Z, Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core (2.2 GHz, 512KB+512KB L2 Cache ), 12.1"WXGA High-Def HP BrightView Widescreen Display(1280 x 800) w/Integrated Touch-screen!! :D :D, 2 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150, and a 200 GB Hard Drive. :)
 
Children, children, children. Sorry this is long, but I'm summarizing almost 30 years.

I've had:

Timex-Sinclair 1000 The pic doesn't do it justice, it was TINY. Maybe 6 or 7 inches wide. And useless. If you moved it while typing (which was impossible to avoid) it either froze or reset.

Commodore VIC-20 with a cassette drive. Took 4 or 5 minutes to save or load a program 2 or 3 K in size.

Commodore 64 with disk drive and Commodore color monitor. System still works today, some 22 years!! I use the monitor as an S-Video monitor in my editing suite. And speed!!! A decent game, like Beachhead, which loaded into tens of K of RAM, would load from diskette in only 2 or 3 minutes!

I was working at a K-Mart at the time, and the appliances department sold VIC-20s and the TI 99/4A, which was 199 bucks by the time K-Mart started with them, but couldn't really do anything computer-ish until you bought the expansion chassis and disk drive, which ran it up to over a thousand bucks. Sold the crap out of the computers, but people were buying them as game consoles, buying games for the cartridge port.

I left K-Mart and got a job in a "home computer" store, which sold C-64s, Amigas (the first machine I saw that used 3.5" floppies), and a Sanyo Intel 8088 machine which was sold as PC compatible, but wasn't even close. We even had a C64 portable, with built-in display, that we couldn't get rid of. (Might have been because it was nearly a thousand bucks!) It was a C64, a 1541 disk drive, and a 5" color display, in one "suitcase" chassis. Since I worked there I had access to whichever I needed at whatever time I felt I needed it.

When they fired me for copying C64 games for my friends (What? me?!??!? No way!!!) I sold stereos for a few months, then got on with the company I still work for. This was 1986. Now it's like a career or something! Anyways, in those intervening years I've had everything from a green-screen IBM PC-XT (with a 10MB hard disk!!!! Lotus 1-2-3 only take 17 seconds to load!!!!) through the revolutionary PC-AT (6-MHz 80286 proc!) through numerous new PCs and portables as the technology grew.

I built my first LAN with IBM's PC Network, based on CATV technology. I built my first Netware server when Netware came on two 5.25" floppies and would run on an 8088. I remember Windows 1.0, which competed with IBM's Topview. Let's just say the right program won. I had OS/2 (32-bit OS!!!!!) on my desktop when I had my first 386, because I could do stuff while formatting a floppy. DOS and 16-bit Windows were locked into the format task.

I remember laser printers, starting with Apple's first LaserWriter. Until that point, printing was dot matrix for speed, daisy wheel (Google it, or just accept my word that they were slow and NOISY) for letter quality. I was ASTONISHED by the first inkjet I saw, and it was black only, the HP Deskjet.

Not long before that, portable PCs started getting really cool. The first clamshell (what they were called before "laptop" was coined) I saw opened up to a bluish monochrome LCD display with 40 lines of 80 characters, no graphics. But it could be powered by a battery! You didn't have to have a power plug! What would they think of next?

Well, color, for one. The first color laptops were hideous, but we couldn't keep them in the store. Everything on the picture ghosted, the displays were multiplexed so poorly and the LCD panels were so slow. They were dim, and limited to EGA resolution.

Well, now you needed color printing, and color inkjets took off. Also, programs got too big for floppies, what with all that graphics capability. The biggest app I saw distributed on floppies with MS Office 95, on 33 diskettes. And those were a special HD format, with 1.7 MB per disk, instead of the standard 1.44! So enter the CD-ROM. Talk about hope you can get it to work. Almost none of them did, at first.

Years pass. PCs get faster, with 486, Pentiums, Pentium IIs and IIIs, then P4 (not Pentium any more) and all the versions and developments of that. Now you take for granted that you can play a game that renders photo-realistic 3D moving environments in real time, you store enough music in a few gigabytes that a lifetime couldn't listen to all of it, then you burn it onto your own CDs (but not anymore, now you iPod). If music's not your thing, you collect your digital pictures, fix them up in Photoshop or its numerous clones and competitors. maybe you're like me and do video on the side, the occasional wedding or whatever, and you've got some digital camcorders, Firewire, and Premiere, Avid, or Final Cut.

None of that stuff was possible even 10 years ago, and some of it was unimaginable when I started over 20 years ago. Color photographs out of the printer in my house, that I fixed on my own computer!??!?? HA!
 
I started with a Microbee before moving up to an Amiga 500.

My first PC was a 486 DX2/66. I haven't bought a new computer since, just upgraded as needed; a card here, some memory there, a new case once in a while. Current specs of my machine:

Intel P4 2.4 GHz
Gigabyte GA-8ST800 (133) - 1 GB RAM
40 GB HD
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 - 256 MB
15" CRT Monitor with nasty screen burn around the edges
 
We got our first computer in the summer of 199...8? Yeh, that was the year NFS: Hot Pursuit came out (I had that and it was AWESOME). It was a Gateway(bleh) Desktop. If i remember correct, the specs were:

Intel Celeron Processor with 300MHz
HDD: 10GB
RAM: It had RAM?
Windows 98SE
And all the useless programs you could ever want!

We had that puppy for almost 5 years and in 2003, I HAD to upgrade. SO, ater coaxing my mom, we decided to have it custom built. This one included:

Pentium 4 w/ HT: 2.4GHz (underclocked to 2 GHz, and i'll explain why)
MoBo: MSI 865P Neo
RAM: 512 MB
HDD: 80Gig Samsung
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 2 MX400
PS: 280 Watts
And a cheap, ugly case.

The reason why the CPU is underclocked is because it only runs at 2.4 GHZ when its hooked up to RAM that runs at 400MHz, the RAM they installed runs at 333MHz. But i was 13 and had no idea how it all worked, so i never noticed.

Anyway, that is still the computer i have today except for a few modifications:

Video Card: MSI nVidia 7600GS
HDD: 120GB WD, 80GB Samsung
RAM: 1 Gig of RAM
Power: Rosewill 480 Watt
Case: Cooler Master Mystique RC-632

It definately gets the job done and has been very faithful as it comes up on its 4th year is August. However, its begining to show its age. For the car buffs, its like throwing paint, a nice stereo and a huge exhast pipe on a Ford Fiesta. It might look and sound good, but its still a Fiesta. SO, i'm not pouring anymore money in here and I'm getting a laptop instead (and a decked out one at that!)
 
Wow, haven't posted in here for a while...

Current (and on the way out) is a Compaq Presario V4000.

1.8ghz Pentium M
100GB hard drive
1GB RAM
128mb Intel 915 GMA (yeah, I know...)

Was near top of the range 2 years ago (emphasis on was) and now it's looking a bit sorry for it's self. Still works, I just need something a little more graphics oriented.
 
Uhm, first computer I used was a top of the line Compaq my sister bought herself after high school. It was like $2,500 then. Now it's in the garbage. Our second computer was a Dell that I had chosen out. 512MB RAM, 30GB hard drive, 128MB video card (Upgraded to a 256MB later on) And we kept that for about 5 years. I built myself a new computer last year (Core 2 Duo E6400, 1GB RAM, 80GB & 250GB hard drives, DVD Burner, Asus motherboard) And I'm still on it. I plan on buying a Mac Book Pro soon though.
 
It's too hard to figure out all of the different configurations of computers I've had. Mentally I think of them by the case - since that puts a face on the machine. But usually one case ended up housing enough different parts to make 2 or three machines. I'll try to characterize it by CPU, since the graphics cards/ram/HDs are way too hard to keep track of. I've lost some of these over the years too, so I'll also try to list which ones I had at any given time.

1) - 100mhz Fujitsu Lifebook Laptop Win95
2) - 233mhz AMD Desktop Win95 + (1) (<- as in, I still had the laptop)
3) - 400mhz AMD Desktop Win98 + (1)
4) - 700mhz AMD Desktop Win98 + (1)
5) - 700mhz AMD Desktop Win98 (I built this one for my GF and then married her) + (4) + (1)
6) - 1.4 ghz AMD Desktop Win98, WinNT, Win2000 + (5) + (1) (I can't remember if I transitioned to Win2k here or with the 700mhz)
7) - 1 ghz AMD Desktop Win2000 (number 5 suffered a lightning strike) + (6) + (1)
8) - 1.4 ghz Intel Laptop WinXP + (7) + (6) (got rid of number 1)
9) - Intel Xeon Desktop WinXP (work) + (8) + (7) +(6)
10) - Mac Powerbook Laptop OSX (work) + (9) + (8) + (7) +(6)
11) - Intel E4400 (ish) Desktop WinXP + (9) + (8) + (7) +(6) (<- I have to look this one up. Cant' remember if it's 4400, or 6400 or what)
12) - Intel Dual 2.? ghz Desktop Linux (work) + (11) + (8) + (7) +(6) (number 8 downgraded to 1ghz due to MB problems)
13) - Intel 3.6ghz Desktop WinXP (work) + (12) + (11) + (8) + (7) +(6)


That summarizes ~10 years of computers. 13 CPUs in 10 years, not bad. Numbers 2 and 3 were in the same case. So were 4 and 6, and 5 and 7. I have no idea how many graphics cards, sticks of ram, or hard drives are in there. I'm not sure I even want to think about it. I probably have a hard disk from as early as computer number 3 still running.
 
Our first Computer Had DOS, Then we upgraded it to Win 3.1 when it came out, The next computer I remember Had win 95, don't know the specs, then we had a computer from around '99 to '03 with like a 500 mhz processor, 128 megs of RAM, and a 20 Gig HDD,

Our current Desktop (Which we got in '03), Has a 2.8 GHZ Pentium 4, 1,256 Megs of RAM (Was 256, added a 1GB in late last year), and a 80GB HDD, 64 MB Video Card (Nvidia GeForce 4), and is about to be replaced.

I have a HP with XP, SP1 on it from 2000 (I recived it in '03), It runs, but the power is hard to keep on and the battery doesn't keep a charge, I had to unscrew it so the power input would fall into place, 450mhz processor, 128 mb RAM (16 MB is used for Video memory), 8 GB HDD.

My Current computer (The one I actually own, not shared) is a Compaq N1015v from around 2003 (Was sent to me in '06), Doesn't hold a charge, it has Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, 1.19 ghz Mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1400+ Processor, 256 Mb RAM (Once again, running 16 Mb Video from it, even though it has a 16 MB ATI Radeon Mobility U1, a Ali M5451 PCI AC-Link Audio, internet is thru a Belkin Wireless G Plus 54g internet card (F5D7010, Had to hack it so it thinks it's the bcm43xx)

From,
Chris.
 
my first computerwas some random thing that i cant remem the name of or its stuff but all i know is, it was slow and i mean it. it just about ran word. :scared:.

second, i had a packard bell pc (the one with all the green on it?) ixtreme i think maybe :nervous: but that had 256mb ram and windows me and then i put windows xp on it and it went all slow and messed up so i bought a new one.

that was a hewlett packard pavillion dv6230 with 1024mb ram amd turion 64 (x2 which is equivalent to intel dual core) and vista on it. it runs like well quick and its the one im on now. love it :sly:. and it runs games and other stuff really well. :dopey:

Some recycled 486 DX2
P1 75MHz Toshiba laptop (8MB of RAM! Mmmm)
Some Compaq P1 MMX 166 @ 200
P2 450 @ 512 (went through many, many upgrades - now runs a Tualatin Celeron at 1.86GHz on the same motherboard!)
Duron 1300
Tualatin Celeron 1300 @ 1600 (built out of spare bits)
Dothan 760 @ 2.4-2.7GHz on a P4C800

I built the Dothan rig about 2 years ago, back then it was almost modern stuff! But now it's getting a bit long in the tooth, as is the 6800LE (run at GS pipes and clocks) that I paired it with... But it'll do for at least another year, I reckon. Maybe until DDR3 gets cheaper :)

And no, I don't really remember any BASIC :rolleyes:
