My first computer was a C64 with a *gasp* 5.25 floppy drive!

The first PC I ever owned was a 386 DX40, with an 80MB HDD and 4MB of RAM, if I remember correctly. Then I upgraded to a 486 DX2-80, which I proceeded to overclock to 100 MHz. I also got an S3 868 VLB videocard for it, plus an SB16 paired with a Gravis Ultrasound ACE (with 1 MB or RAM). What a beast it was!!!

K6 233
32Mb edo-ram (I think)
S2 2Mb card (cannot remember chipset)

4077KHz compared to 900 for the C64? My *second* computer in 1992 was an 8088. I didn't have a modern computer until 1995. When someone asked if I was getting Windows 95, I asked if that was like Deskmate.

Oh, Viva la Deskmate!

Same here. I got the graphics cartridge that allowed me to draw circles and squares on the screen!

 

[dpm]

My first IBM compatible PC was a 486sx-25, with 2mb ram and a 60mb hard disk. Oh, and no bloody soundcard, so I had to sell my bike to get a Soundblaster pro.

My first pc, though, was a good old ZX Spectrum. 48k ram, full of tape loading goodness, and the famous squidgy rubber keys.

Ahh my first love! Hours were spent playing Parsec and programming basic on this little 16bit jewel! You Dial-up people think your connection is slow now! DVD-Rs, CD-RS, blah! Try saving your programs on magnetic tape with your dads old tape recorder, now there's hours of entertainment for ya!

Nope, the crappiest thus far is the Commodore VIC-20. Which, for those who didn't know, was essentially a crippled version of the C64 -- same processor but much less memory, expandability and graphics capability.

Very first computer i have built:
