Post the specs from your first computer and the price

[Gimli43Orcs]

Here was mine:

Pentium 166MMX
2.1GB hd
32MB EDO RAM
2MB ATI 3d Expression video card
8MB Voodoo2 3D video card
4x CD-Rom
15" monitor
Win95

All this for the incredibly low price of C$2300 :roll:

 

[PlatinumGold]

8086 processor

2 5.25 floppies. 128 kb of ram.

monitor? green screen.

price, $1200.00

 

[Tremulant]

my first PC was a:

Pentium 120
2GB HDD
32MB RAM
4x CD-ROM
15" monitor
Win 95

I forget the video card and the exact specs.. cause it sucked so much. But it could run Duke Nukem 3D like a PRO.

Oh, price.. I dunno.. I'm guessing about 1.5k or so.

And before that, when I was like 7 or so, we had an Apple IIe. I loved that thing, even though it sucked.

i think the TRS-80 gets bragging rights, i believe it had a Z80 processor in it.

my 8086 is pretty primitive also.

my progression goes, 8086 => 386DX (big jump) => 486 DX4 => Pentium 2 450 mhz => Athlon 1 ghz => dual Xeon 2.8 ghz.

i don't know about kids. i got my 8086 in 1980.

btw

don't you mean 64 KB RAM?

 

[iliopsoas]

my first computer was

a 8086 running at 4.77 MHz with 64KB of RAM and 5.25" floppy drives x2 and an CGA monitor.

Shortly after that, I bought some upgrades from Orchid Technology. Boosted my processor speed up to turbo at 6 MHz and expanded my RAM to 640KB. Eventually added some MFM hard drives.

Cost was $1700 + $800 in upgrades.

 

[Juno]

Pentium 133MHz
32MB of ram
1.61gig
8mb video card I think
8x cd drive
15" monitor from Samsung
HP inkjet printer
Win95

It was pricey.. $2000 in '96.

damn, that's almost exactly what i had. i never upgraded mine tho.

mine was made by SANYO. was a bad buying decision. but better than the PC Jr my uncle bought for my cousin.

those were my first as well. I remember getting the TI for $50 when they were getting out of the computer biz. I also recall the separate floppy drive for the C64 cost like $250

It had a whopping 1K of 6-bit words (Ferroxcube core memory), featured the (then) amazing new development of putting four NAND gates on a single IC instead of having to build everything with discrete transistors, and it used paper tape for mass storage. This isn't actually my first one, but it's close. (The first one I had was built into a single full-height rack instead of being mounted on these two half-racks.)
