    Talking Specs of your first computer

    This should make for an interesting comparison of older technology to newer tech.
    Let's hear the specs of the first computer system you owned.

    - This should be interesting.
    I'll start.

    Processor: Cyrix/TI 486DLC 25Mhz (Press Turbo button, you get 40Mhz of boost)
    MEMORY: 1MB (256K x 4 SIMMS)
    Hard Drive: 270MB
    cache: 256k (separate chip you plugged into the motherboard)
    Built in numeric co-processor
    ISA Hard drive controller card
    Video Card: I think it was about 256K (ISA-VESA)
    Optical Drive: NONE
    Soundcard: NONE
    Modem: 14400bps US Robotics (who remember Colis BBS???)
    Monitor: ACER 14" CRT
    OS: MS DOS 6.11 -- Later upgraded to MS Windows 3.11 for workgroups (+3MB)

    It ran games like TD2 pretty well..

    @ Semitop... with specs like that, it looks like your techie life started just yesterday.

    Intel 486DX/2 66Mhz on an FIC (or maybe Biostar) mainboard
    8MB RAM in SIMMs
    40MB Conner IDE hard drive
    5.25" floppy
    3.5" floppy
    no CD-ROM (money ran out)
    Trident 1MB VGA graphics (ISA interface)
    US Robotics Sportster 14.4Kbps ISA modem
    Princeton Graphics 15" CRT
    MS Windows95

    This was around 1996. Unfortunately in my excitement to build my first computer, I didn't RTFM before I began and grounded/shorted out the motherboard before I even got to use it.

    Oldest computer ever used (circa 1987)...
    NCR Decision Mate 5, Zilog Z80 processor (less than 4.77Mhz speed)
    OS: CP/M ("Windows... you mean the ones you open & close?")
    RAM: 64K - upgradable to a whopping 512K
    Removable storage: Dual 5.25" 1.2MB floppy drives
    Hard disk: "You mean those things they have on mainframes?"
    Display: Monochrome CRT - Green, 640x480 graphics
    Pointing Device: "You mean that thing that comes only with Apple computers?"
    Cost: about $2800 US at the time
