42MB of RAM on a P100??? noway, thats close to impossible unless you got it waay later on.My first comp was:Pentium 133 CPU16MB EDO-RAM2MB Oak Spitfire SVGA8x CD-ROMCreative 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 printerI 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.

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

Commodore 64I 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

... but without modem... hehehe

My first computer was an old ibm, using that old os they had. I have no idea what the specs were, it was one of those all in one units. Then I built a computer with a 133mhz intel I believe... 512 mb hd, I can't remember. Then I built a computer with an AMD k6-2 w/ 3dnow (Not that that helped much ) and I had either 32 mb of ram or 64. It had a 6 gb hd. I think. I had an 8 mb ati graphics card, I think 16 was the biggest at that point.Now I have a computer I built with an amd 64 3500+ (had to get the 939, I have the future in mind ), 1 gb of pc3200 ram, 80 gb hd, 128 mb ati radeon 9800 pro, dvd burner, and 19" viewsonic crt monitor.
