What was the first computer/PC you used? - Page 3

tastegw · Jan 31, 2013, 02:57 AM

Used and owned are different entirely, so I'll do both:

First pc used: 1983/4/5 in grade school, if I remember correctly they had an IBM (just 1) in the library, I played Oregon trail. (IMO Atari was so much better, had that at home)
No clue on the img specs as I was 5 or 6 years old.

First pc I personally bought and owned was off eBay in like 2002.
CPU: intel something / 433ish MHz single core
GPU: Voodoo 16mb
RAM: 100mhz 128mb (may have been 333mhz, I just remember keeping those sticks)
Hdd: 60gb 5200rpm
Hdd: 16gb 7200rpm
Mobo, no idea
Case: vanilla/beige server tower, no fans

Replaced that a few years later for:

CPU: intel celeron single core 1.8ghz
Gpu: nvidia something, thought I was badass with 64mb card
Ram: 512mb 533?mhz
And a bunch of blah blah blah
Though this rig was leaps better the the old.

Intel Pentium 166Mhz MMX (P55C) with an Asus SP-97V motherboard. The motherboard was really special, because it supported the 83Mhz FSB speed and had an undocumented multiplier, which meant that an AMD K6 (II+?) 500Mhz could be used in it (never got my hands on it though) (83x6)

Still remember the RAM, 16MB EDO RAM

SirKeldon · Jan 31, 2013, 03:08 AM

First to use regularly was the Z80 Amstrad (when i was 4-6 years old)
First to know what i was really doing ... 486 @ 12MHz (33MHz with Turbo, such old times, also was the machine i used to install my very first Linux

)
First to surf the internet with ... Pentium 100MHz
First not inherited so bought ... Pentium4 1.3GHz (manufactured in Costa Rica!!!)
First truly "custom" build (also bought) to overclock and to experiment with hardware ... AMD64 3500+ "ClawHammer"

PS: All inherited computers were always at home, my dad was gaving them to me when he was swapping for a new one.
PSS: Still not sure what to vote, Z80 or 486 ...

The A200 shipped with a Motorola 68000 CPU, running at 7.16 MHz (NTSC) or 7.09 MHz (PAL). The CPU could be upgraded to a 68010 by direct replacement lol

my first was bbc acorn proper old school, only had a floppy drive lol

qubit · Jan 31, 2013, 11:29 AM

I voted Other after 1980, cuz I'm old.

I think it was a Tandy TRS-80 at a computer literacy course for a week when I was a kid.

My elementary school didn't get computers till I was in 4th grade and I don't remember what those were. The first one I had was a pentium 3 I got about 5th grade as a hand me down.

theubersmurf · Jan 31, 2013, 02:31 PM

Wish I still had my old Mac Classic, it was stolen, but I had it well into the aughts. Still ran when it was stolen too.

...PACMAN... · Jan 31, 2013, 02:51 PM

I was 4, it was my brother's Acorn Electron and I spent many hours playing "Citadel". In fact it was the first game I ever completed.

Many hours playing it with my Sister, listening to Stan Ridgway's "Camouflage" on my brother's hifi.

GOD i MISS THE 80S

de.das.dude · Jan 31, 2013, 03:13 PM

amd athlon 3500+, with an ecs mobo and 256mb of ram. 80gb hdd. hdd still in my current rig.

bmaverick · Jan 31, 2013, 05:29 PM

TI-99-4A and TI-99-4C and the TRS-80 III

The TI had sooooo many games, educational software and business software than any of the other machines. Even the LOGOS Basic was a lead into visual basic software programing. The graphics with the LOGOS rivaled stuff up to the VGA era. Also the syntehsized speech module was well ahead of it's time too! It took Commador a few years to rival that.

You bet. Off the top of my head I remember playing Parsec, Munch Man, Tombstone City and TI Invaders. I used to make my own text adventures in TI Basic, too. That was great stuff.

MxPhenom 216 · Jan 31, 2013, 07:03 PM

I guess i should have chose like pentium 3 or 4. I thought the thread was where did you start in terms of first system built.

KainXS · Jan 31, 2013, 07:26 PM

some 6mhz ibm or something(I think it was the 5150), it was 6mhz of fury, my dad had it for work back in the day and I just played around with it, . . . . . . now i feel old

Munch man? Do you mean "Number Munchers"? The one that had the lil' animations between math problems?

Cyrix 133 MHz was my first personal PC I bought the parts and built it.

itsakjt · Feb 1, 2013, 01:03 PM

Well I used a Wipro Acer PC when I was 3 years old. Didn't know the config at that time. Later saw that the CPU was AMD DX 4 100 MHz, 8 MB RAM, 540 MB HDD, color monitor(special feature).

No, Munch Man was TI's answer to Pac-Man.

Didn't know the config at that time. Later saw that the CPU was AMD DX 4 100 MHz, 8 MB RAM, 540 MB HDD, color monitor(special feature).
