What were you doing the first time you opened a PC case?

IIRC the Pentium didn't come out until 1993. I got one that year. I had to pay a premium for it. Chose it over the 486DX.

I also think the first Pentium was 60 MHz. I don't think they made a 40 MHz.

I could be wrong though. But I definitely remember paying a ton for it. It was a bit over $4k. But it had all the bells and whistles for its time. The SOB ran pretty good for about 10 yrs. Towards the end it was really only used as a word processor by my secretary.

It probably wasn't a Pentium, I even forget these days.

What ever the 386's were.

Just a 386 I guess.

Added RAM. Went from 8MB to a blazing 64MB.

Upgrading to 640k of ram on my 8088. Chips were the kind with legs back then. Super easy to bend them while inserting.
