I don't remember the exact specs for my first PC. The things I do remember, though, are:

HDD: 100 MB
RAM: 512 KB
Windows 3.1

It was a Compaq.

My next PC was a big step up with:

HDD: 6GB
RAM: 128MB
Windows ME (yech!)

My current PC is much more up to mark:
HDD: 160GB
RAM: 3GB
Windows Vista Business 64-bit

My dream computer would be the following, even though I dislike Macs:

Mac Pro:
Two 3.2 GHz quad-core processors
32 GB of RAM
4x1 TB 7200-rpm SATA drives
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB
16x SuperDrive
30" Apple HD Display

Totals out to only US$19,798.

All I remember about my first PC is that it always got that blue screen of death

 

[Benauds appreci]

[Abhas]

hmm.. My 1st PC was :

Pentium 1 - 233 mhz (fastest for its class )
32 mb ram - later upgraded to 80 mb
4 gb HDD - later added another 2 gb
Aureal Vortex sound card
integrated graphics with 32 mb Vram

My first PC was somewhere down the lines of a P3 500mhz, 64mb RAM, 40GB HDD, Integrated Intel 810 graphics and integrated ac'97 sound. That computer was a real luxury back then, I'm talking about 2000.

My current PC is quite up to technology and can handle all the latest games at my 22" monitor.

Intel E7200 @ 3.6 Ghz
2 GB RAM, Vista 32-bit
P35 Express
250GB HDD(I know I'm running quite low on this. )
nVidia 9600GT
Viewsonic 22" monitor

This is going to last me quite a while. For now, my Dream PC(I hate to define it btw) is

Bloomsfield 8Ghz Nehalem 4 core processor with Liquid Nitrogen cooling
16GB RAM (Much more than enough really)
4 x Radeon 5870 x2 or gtx 280 x2
And something down the lines of that.

When did you get E7200

 

[khan31]

Well my first PC , which I bought from PC World in 2002/03 was:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2.1Ghz
512MB DDR RAM
GeForce MX 440-SE (WORST CARD EVER)
60GB Seagate HD
Some crappy MIS Motherboard
15" Plasma Monitor
COST - £1000!!
Nothing was overclockable and it wasn't even worth upgrading after 2 years.

I recently had a PC custom made and the specs for this beast are:
Core2Quad Q6600 3.2Ghz with OCZ Vendetta 2 Cooler
4GB DDR2 800MHZ RAM
Ati Radeon 4870 OC
500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11
Asus P5Q Pro
CM 690 Case
LG 19" HD TV/Monitor (got my 360/Virgin hooked up to it)
Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Surround Speakers
COST - £680!

very happy with my new pc both for price and performance. Runs Crysis, Brothers in Arms HH, Far Cry 2, Pes/FIFA 09 etc all on MAX settings at 1440x900 SMOOTH.

New Macbook please. That's pretty much all I need in a computer, decent specs, looks awesome, uber cool. Sorted.

When did you get E7200

Last week. The E2160 was getting old. Plus the E7200 was real cheap.

Anyways, going by what I posted above, I just realised, that could be enough horsepower to combine 3 of these PC's and find the next largest Prime number.
