Well ill go back a little here, my first computer was a C-64, I suppose im not one of the oldest on the board but maybe alot of you younger members dont remember it.

I was only .... erm.... around 12 then I think, and I loved it. I think I actually still have it somewhere in the attic come to think of it with a disk drive. anyone remember the tape drives with the 25 minutes flashing loading screens?

How things have came on, since my Atari ST then amiga, several macs and my old 386s, 486s (I still remember mechwarrior on my 486 DX 100, and man I thought I was king dick back then) "no one in the world could have a pc this powerful!.

Then the first 3dfx card I had when I got tombraider, and being totally blown away.


so what about you guys, any good memories?

a T1? what was that, maybe an american model or something? 386?

[WyreTheWolf]

I believe the first computer I ever owned was an atari system. ewwwwww, it is a toss up between that.. .and an old ACE 1000 (that is an apple clone) Too old ... was too long ago to remember. :P

[Kelsenellenelvian]

It was less than a 386 it was in c-64 era or earlier.


MMMM 1980-1981 If I remember right.

[Zardon]

[Kelsenellenelvian]

The first 3dfx card i got was a Diamond Monster, i was having my first system built, based around a P233. I just had to have that graphics card cos everybody was raging about it at the time. I have to agree with you Zardon about Tombraider, the first time i saw it i was gobsmacked too.

Mine was a no name 386 that ran @ 25MHz (it had a Turbo button which brought it up to 33MHz). It came with a 125MB HD, 4MB RAM and a Trident video card with 1MB. I bought myself a Hayes Accura 14/4 External Modem. I ran this system with Windows 95 (and surfed the net) all the way til IE 4 became Final...which my system would no longer handle (although the last BETA of IE 4 worked). I also had a Creative SoundBlaster card in it...remember those??..the ones with the MANUAL volume switches on them (on the BACK of your PC).

I still have an old c-64 color monitor that I use for my nintendos.

486 computer when I was 12, with like I dont know how much ram, maybe 32 mb In any case, my fondest memory was playing microsoft golf, and some messed up car racing game. It was a fun system, till I realized that there were faster ones

you remember the voodoo 2s in SLI mode? I spent MEGA money on that and drilled a hole in the case to keep it all cool... that was serious in those days, running games at 640x480 or 800x600 if you were lucky !

I think that Diamond Monster I had, had 8mb memory and when a mate at work bought a voodoo 3 i bought his old voodoo2 off him. It had more memory than mine...12 mb

[e-Seeker]

Mine was a Specturm (the 48K one), then came the SUPER MIGHTY XT (8086), later on I was on the 286. and so on...
My XT had a drive of 20Mb, man, was that a thrill!
