42MB of RAM on a P100??? noway, thats close to impossible unless you got it waay later on.
My first comp was: Pentium 133 CPU 16MB EDO-RAM 2MB Oak Spitfire SVGA 8x CD-ROM Creative Sound Blaster AWE32 sound card (this thing was like 3 times the size of current graphics cards! and had its own RAM slots) ...and nothing else, that was it, oh, an Epson Stylus 500 printer I think I payed around $2000 for all that... but that was close to the best computer you could get back then. After that all my computers have been close to mid-high range machines. |

sorry forgot the harddisk (where is the edit button gone?)
it also had a 2GB Seagate Medallion harddisk, talking of harddisks, my next hdd was a 6.4GB Seagate Medallion, and now I have a 40GB Seagate Barracuda IV and a 40GB Seagate Momentus on my laptop. Seagate harddisks rock!

If we're talking about any PC, my first comp was
Commodore 64 I think it worked on 8MHz, had 64KB RAM Commodore 1851, 5.25" Floppy drive Two joysticks a modem (wich I had no use for ; didn't have any ISP's at that, time)I think, that covers it  Oh yes, it connected to a TV... It costed about, well, at least 900 euro's, converted to that time, it was in 89 or 90 that I got it, but I started really using it in '94... If we're talking about first PC PC, it was Intel 80286 16MHz, haaad... 1 MB RAM i believe Unknown externaly mounted HDD, 40Mb Hercules display adapter (orange/black combination) aaaand, that about covers it Nice, right?
