Title: Your First Desktop (Or Your Current Desktop since you cant remember)
Post by: DIMENTIO1 on December 16, 2008, 10:41:35 PM
i'm way to bored to think of anything else.

First:

HP Pavillion a6230n

2.8 GHZ AMD 64 Live 5600+
Nvidia Geforce 6150 SE
3 GB Ram
400 GB HDD
Vista Home Premium 32 Bit
with a 17" monitor
----------------------

Current:

Studio XPS

Intel Core i7-920 2.66 Ghz
4 GB Ram
256MB ATI Radeon HD 3450
Vista Ultimate 64
640 GB
17" monitor

nothing special. not for gaming at least

its funny, back in that time, (like 2 years ago) i used to think the speed of a computer was the RAM by itself. i also had no knowledge about Intel being faster thn AMD. then again i had no knowledge about CPUs either. but i now realize that the Processor is the most important, then the Graphics chip, THEN the ram

I can't remember, it was an archaic relic.  Honestly, my first computer was on par with an abacus.

Windows 95 and the monitor weighed a ton.

First computer that technically wasn't mine but I used it the most so I basically made it my own:

HP Pavilion
800MHz AMD Athlon 64 processor
64MB RAM
18.6GB HD
Windows 98SE

I overloaded it, and it now gets BSOD at least 3 times per boot, guaranteed :3

I don't remember exactly what my first one was. I know it was a Compaq. I think it had Windows 98 on it. And that's all I remember.

I think I had the same one Tuppy had. It was an extremely poopty Compaq that came with Windows 95. We upgraded it to 98, and that just murdered it.

Windows 95, Compaq.

All that I remember is that it was outdated for the time. Then we got a Windows 98 one which we kept for like six years, judging by the CD and DVD drives we built in.

I'm using the second one that I remember having.  Don't ask me because I don't know how poopty it is and I don't feel like looking.
