Packard Bell Multimedia R500 (Desktop)
-200MHz Intel Pentium Processor with MMX technolgoy, and 32 KB of internal cache -4.3 Gigabyte Hard Disk Drive -32 MB EDO RAM -36 Kbps Modem -24x maximum, variable CD-ROM Drive -2 USB (Universal Serial Bus) Ports -64-bit Graphics/Video Accelerator with 2 MB EDO Video memory -14.2 KBPs Fax installed -Telephone Answering system with full duplex speakerphone -MPEG 2 full full motion video playback with Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoding -16-bit SRS Amphitheater Stereo Sound, Sound blaster -keyboard and 2 button mouse
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?
Yawn, i already forgot of what my first computer was.... i remember that my father bought it when i 8 years old.. i think it is still DOS based Operating System, you have to type WIN to enter Windows... and the Floppy Disk was also very big. From that computer, i had learned my first programming language, GWBasic and Basica... Lotus 123, DOS-Games, Return to castlevania, Pacman, Bomberman... owh man, that's really a great nostalgic time.
But i think my computer was same as Galahad's QUOTE Commodore 64 ... but without modem... hehehe

My first computer (I still keep it around and it works) was with the following configuration:
Pentium II 366 MHz 64 MBs of RAM S3 Savage 3D graphics card with 8 MBs (I think so) CD-ROM and CD-RW (bought later on) HDD 6 GB and 30 GBs added later on Windows 98SE Belinea 15'' monitor Keep in mind that this computer was bought for my brother @ 1998 (ofcourse I used it too) and I used it for 5-6 years, when I bought another PC and this laptop I got on gift from my brother. Also keep in mind that I'm 16 I have a problem from 4 months ago on this computer, Windows doesn't detect the mouse (it's not to the mouse - it's the OS problem it says I need to reinstall it over the old one (without reformating) - I tried that, but no avail, it didn't fix the problem and I don't want to format it because I have loads of games controled by the keyboard my little cousins play when they come to visit, and I also don't have the all the drivers and don't want to hunt them. There is another problem, 'till 2 years ago MDK2, some later Carmaggedon relase and other great games which should be playable on it froze everytime I ran them, then I reformated it for some reason, and they worked PERFECTLY even on high settings and I was really really amazed, BUT I don't know the reason why after another reformat (because I caught a virus) the situation in reappeared and no good games worked ( That hurts me a lot 'cause I consider myself computer savvy and I still can't get why I can't get them working even after reinstalling the latest graphics drivers and all that
QUOTE(EdgabtheGreat @ Sep 16 2008, 06:50 PM) My first PC was an Osborne 1 This was considered the first ever portable computer. It was so heavy because it had a 5" monochrome CRT screen built into it and a keyboard that flapped down from the front. CPU = 4.0 MHz 64K RAM dual 5-1/4 inch, 91K drives It didn't have a hard drive so I booted into Dos 3.0 using a 5-1/4 inch floppy disk. I couldn't do much with it so eventially I pulled it apart just to see what was inside I even found it on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1 [attachment=1332:250px_Osborne1.jpg] This is seriously nice.. How old is this comp now ?
