What was the configuration of your first computer?

I bought my PC in Aug 2004 and it is almost 4 and a half years old. I have purchased: P4, 128MB, 40Gb and a DVD reader. Now, I have P4, 128+512 MB, 40GB and a Cd writer with me but the writer isn't in its best of shapes so, I am using my old DVD reader these days. Well, I have changed my keyboard once and mouse once!

I had no computer at first and my brother does.He got P3 Processor with 20 GB HDD with 512MB RAM,normal screened monitor with an UPS and now i upgraded to Intel CoreP4 processor with 250GB HDD,1GB RAM and without UPS and i have to purchase and i am very worried about the power failures when working on the computer.Let me know any upgradation i needed to do it so that i can have better configuration at present.

Dang you young pups sure are making me feel old. I bought my first PC either in the late 70's or early 80's. It was about half the size of the average lap top and it was made by Timex. It connected to the TV for the monitor. I think it would hold about 1.5 KB. A single page letter overloaded it. It had a membrane keyboard that was very sorry. Not long after that the Commodore 64 came out and man that was hot stuff. When I look back at all the money I have spent on computers over the years I regret ever buying the first one. The first real PC I bought was an IBM PS2. I think I paid over $2,000 for it and a 21 pin dot matrix printer. There was no internet then but it had software that would let me talk with other computers by way of the Phone line. It had a 50 Mhz processor and that was top of the line. I'm not sure about this but it seems like I could also get on AOL with it. I know you could connect with any computer that was on the phone line if you had their number. The best I remember this was the fore runner of the internet. Actually I have enjoyed using the computer as a self teaching tool. Art

Our first computer at home bought by my dad, was too slow. I forgot about its processor since I am too small and too young to know about that time but I do know its operating system is Microsoft Windows 3.1. Its monitor was black and white CRT. I think its a 15 inches monitor. After that it is not working anymore. I think it was during in 1990's. In 2003 or 2004, my dad bought a new computer, a pentium 4, 128 megabytes RAM, 40 gigabytes hard disk drive, cd writer. I upgrade its ram 256 but still its not enough and slow. Having a desktop computer is necessary for me because I an information management student at that time and my computer performs not good and I decided to let my dad buy a pentium d processor, 512 mb ddr1 and 80G hard disk sata. NOw currently my computer specs AThlon x2 5000+ 2.60Ghz, 2 Gig ram ddr2 800mhz, 1 gig vcard x1550, (2 pcs 160g, 1 pc 250 gig sata hard disk drive). I replace my old box to AMD setup.

In 1994 I bought a PowerPC 66MHz AV (dual Monitor with s-video in) Apple Macintosh (with a CD-ROM drive!). It is still running. I use it for making fonts.

My Computer's Specification:Processor: Intel Core 2 QUAD Memory: 4GB Video Card: HIS HD 4870 x2 2GB GDDR5 Video Card DVD/CD/CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blue-Ray Drive 1000 GB HDD Seagate Barracuda I got a Sniper Tower Case, it is featured in PCWizKid, I like upgrading my computer every time there is a new hardware reviews....

I bought my Desktop in November 2002 with the following configuration - Processor : AMD 1.5GHz RAM : 128 MB DDR HDD : 40 GB DVD-ROM CD-RW 15" CRT Monitor JBL Desktop Speakers

Believe it or not my first computer was an Apple II+ and we bought it used from a neighbor about 23 years ago. And it still works! Here are the stats. Get ready for these you'll love it: Introduced in June 1979 Retail Price- US$1200 RAM- 48 KB, expandable to 64 KB Twin external 5¼-inch floppy disk drives CPU- MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, 1 MHz OS- Apple DOS No Hard drive All the letter keys on the keyboard would type uppercase letters 24 lines by 40 columns of monochrome display (Yellow and Black. Other monitors would display Green and Black). Mono sound from a tiny internal speaker that could only play one sound and one note at a time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_series We had a document writing program (Apple Writer), a card and sign making program (Print Shop), and lots of games. One called Olympic Decathlon released in 1981 by a company called Microsoft. I wonder whatever happened to them?

My FIRST computer was: 486 SX 25Mhz, Hercules 512K VGA ISA, 2Meg of ram, 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" floppy, and a 253Meg harddrive. This was back in 1993 My current config is Main computer Q6600 @3.2GHz 4G of DDR2 320G SATA HD Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality DVDRW Server #1 Q6600 @2.6GHz 8G of DDR2 1x80GB 1x500GB 2x1.5TB 1x250GB 1x750GB Server #2 AMD X2 5000+ 4G of DDR2 1x250G 2x1.5TB HTPC Intel E8400 4G of DDR2 1x250GB

Mine was Intel Pentium I with 256MB memory. but now im still using Intel Pentium 4 , 1GB memory and 512mb video vard :) it was still very useful to me , since im only using it for internet and some old games ha ha :)

I bought my first computer twelve years ago when i was in my third year at university.Its configuration was: Processor: AMD K6-2-266 ,main frequency 266MHZ Hard Driver: Quantun Fireball 2.5G Ram: 32M CD-ROM / 1.44inch floppy drive And i got a secondhand monitor because i was short of money at the mement. actually the most part of the money was from the scholarship i won annually,the left was given by my family after i lied to my mother that i really needed a computer to assist my study at university. Subsequently i bought my second computer in April 2003 and bought my third computer(It is a laptop) on the last New Year's Day,

My dad got me my first computer in mid 2003 when i was in 10th. it's configuration was Processor- Pentium 4 1.8 ghz Ram -128 mb HDD - 40gb CD-ROM 15 inch samsung monitor and all this caused my 36000 rupees at that time After 4 and a half year of long service, my PC broke down last year and so I started using my nanaji(grandfather's) computer. Now in college I needed a good computer so I urged my father to buy me a new one. So I purchased a new assembled cabinet from Nehru place Delhi last December with the following configuration. Processor - C2D 2.66 ghz Ram- 2gb HDD- 250 gb + 40 gb(my previous asset) DVD R/W But i am using the same monitor that I got in 2003 and I am very happy that it has never broke down in these long years of service. This time it cost was 13000 rupees I still have the Pentium 4 processor and I can't figure out what to do with it. Anyone have some ideas?
