My first PC was back in 2007.

- Intel Celeron D
- Integrated Graphics Card (64 MB)
- 256 MB RAM
- HDD 40 GB

It may sounds like a very poor PC today, but hey, back in the 2000s I was one of the few people who had a CPU over 3 GHz.

I didn't like the colored keys of the Amstrad 464, especialy the green ones:

The prettiest computer from the mid-80s was the Atari ST (IMHO)

Started off with a Commodore 64.

First "IBM" PC was a 486-DX66 with 8MB of EDO Ram, Sound Blaster and an S3 graphics card running Windows 3.
I actually kept that PC well into the 2000's and even upgraded the Ram to 32MB of EDO Ram, CPU to a 486DX4 100mhz and an S3 Virge 4MB +4MB GPU Ram addon and even dropped in a 512kb cache chip and was running Win95.

I was playing games like StarCraft Brood Wars and Command and Conquer fairly comfortably. Should have kept it, it was amazing for DOS games.

I didn't have a PC at home until about 2002. My dad bought me a Dell Dimension 2400 with a Celeron. 

Used many computers at school before then though. 

My one and only pc was an HP in the early 2000's which was fairly powerful at the time. I switched to laptops in college and haven't had a pc since.

The first my family had was a Packard Bell 286 and we had that until it bit the dust in 2002. 2003 I got my first Apartment and had a Dell Dimension 4600. Pentium 4. 256MB of Ram. 60GB HDD. ATI Radeon 9700 Pro. Not exactly a powerhouse. I did likt have a LCD monitor tho. Ever since 2011 I only use laptops tho connected to an external monitor and keyboard.

First computer was a HP Pavilion with only like 6 GB of storage

I think 256 MB of RAM? Or somewhere around that.

Some intel processor that isnt worth mentioning

Windows 98 and the computer was from 1998, I was one of the single digit ages :P


My first full fledged gaming capable computer was also a HP Pavilion pre-built that totally was not a gaming computer but I went ahead and upgraded the GPU to a HD Radeon 7850 2GB back in 2012 with...4 GB of RAM and 500 GB HDD?


Now as of November 2024, my current computer is a Cyberpower gaming desktop with a 4070 SUPER, 32 GB of RAM, 7800X3D processor and 2 TB SSD.

In late 1997 my dad gifted me the first (and only) PC, it was:

Pentium Pro 200MHz MMX

32MB RAM

3GB HDD

Matrox Mystique 4MB PCI

17" NEC monitor

I always had to uninstall some game to be able to install a new one.

In the summer of 1998 he bought a Voodoo 2 12MB, it was mindblowing how unreal Unreal looked with it.

In 2001 I upgraded to 128MB RAM and it made quite the difference but of course the CPU was obsolete by that time, but I had this PC till early 2004.

I still have the CPU and some of the other components sitting in my shelf.

The first PC that was for me exclusively was a windows 98 PC, 256mb of ram. No idea about the other specs but I could run games like Freelancer on it but it would have just been integrated graphics. 

Looked like this but might not have been this exact model. Got it around 2001-2002 probably.

Showing my age but my first PC was a Sinclair PC200 which was a pc styled like the Atari ST/Amiga. I used to love playing Elite on it and early PC games. I think at one point I put a VGA card in it but had to have the flap at the back up to accommodate it. Later I got a similar Amstrad PC that had VGA graphics built in and loved that too. The PC200 had a fantastic keyboard, really high quality I thought. At one point I had a 386SX PC by Amstrad with a built in Megadrive too. Gaming was newer and felt more exciting back then with much more experimentation with products. I'm not going to lie though my favourite computer back then was the Acorn Archimedes for many years that was easily my favourite computer.
