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 that was officially mine was in 1999 and a
500mhz pentium lll 20 gb hd 128mb ram nvida riva tnt2 soundblaster audio card 56k modem ethernet 17"" Monitor Color Printer (This thing was loaded)
My first pc was :
Intel Celeron 900 mhz and later clocked to 1200 mhz 128 mb sdram 20 gb 5400 rpm Soyo motherboard Cd-rom with 54x (yes yes) 15" from dtk intel 815 graphic card and later geforce 2 mx 64 mb Pretty good
My first machine was a compaq prolinea 486 with a 33 mhz intergrated cpu, (no coprocessor) 512kb video memory, 4 mb RAM, and a 90 mb hard drive. The machine had a floppy drive that worked and a cd-rom that didn't. Running dos 6.0 and Winblows for Workgroups 3.11. I remember one time accidentally deleting the file manager icon from the main window while adding games and deleting shrotcuts that didn't work. After rebooting the machine it would just come to a dos prompt. When i typed in "win" it would tell me "Bad Command or Filename". I must have tinkered with that machine for quite some time before finnaly giving in and reinstalling the os.
A few years later i managed to get a hold of a "Intel 486 DX/2 66mhz" Coprocessor, and upon trying to cram it into the "Non-ZIF" socket one of the pins bent over, which i didn't realize, and when it was powered on smoke came from the socket. Which wasn't really to awful bad since i already had a different machine with a 100mhz P1 with 16mb Ram a 500mb Hard drive, and a 2 mb Video card. A lot has definately changed since then. Now I'm running an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ with 2 250Gig SATA Hard drives and on 80 SATA, a Gig of PC3200 DDR 400, 2 DVD-+RW's and a 256 mb GeForce 5500.
Cyrix 166MHz
16MB EDO-RAM 3GB Seagate Hard Disk Cirrus Logic VGA Graphics Card (1MB of memory) CD-ROM 4x Two button Genius COM port mouse Philips 14" monitor (800x600 @ 60Hz - the best resolution that it could support) I tried installing Windows ME on it once... Let's just say that you could double click on "My Computer" and go get yourself a cup of coffee while it opens...
LOL A P1 166 is slow... I'm a PC tech for a school board and I still end up working on the occasional P1. Annoying as heck trying to tell the teacher that the reason they can't install FlashMX is because the PC they are trying to load it on is 10 years out of date.
