What's your first personal computer?

[Alladin 0]

My first computer was an Amiga 500, used a Motorola 68000 microprocessor that ran at 7.14 MHz and had 512 KB of RAM.

It was a revolution in computerworld that days :).

Playing games like, bundesliga manager hattrick, kick off2, zack mckracken...

Also lots software was available... 3d, music...

Guess I'm obviously not the oldest here, but I had Pentium 100Mhz with 16MB of RAM and 1GB hdd

This wasn't my own first computer, technically, but I grew up tinkering around with my dad's IBM Personal Computer XT. I still remember how it had a turbo button that would rocket it all the way from 5 MHz to a blistering 10, how my dad would frequently run repair reinstalls of the operating system (because apparently the hard drive was prone to losing data) with a stack of seventy 5 1/4-inch floppies, playing arithmetic games with ASCII graphics, and learning to program infinite loops in BASIC. Good times.

My first PC was a Corona Portable PC, It was based on an 8088, ran at a whopping 4.77 mhz, had 2 floppy drives, 256k of RAM and a monochrome screen, the keyboard tucked away into the cover that went over the face of the PC.  I later upgraded it to 512k of ram by buying 16 dram dips and plugging them in one by one hoping not to bend any pins.

 

Wow I never seen like that before. I guess I was not that techy back then.

Does a C64 count? I mean it was a keyboard but still!

 

I can't remember my first desktop, it was an unknown japanese brand and it wasn't great (couldn't run Warcraft 3 etc.) but I was able to play Baldur's Gate and Snes games so it was good enough.

I remember this,  My brother had this one known also as C64 and it became more popular in 1985.

First was an Atari 1040 ST(e), 1MB of RAM and 8MHz, it maybe sacrilege to say this but with hindsight it's kind of obvious a poor cousin to the Amiga.

[SanoShaker 0]

It was Atari 800XL,

remember breaking the tape that was used for loading the games, after that i learned how to type on it (i had  it connected to JVC TV )

my second Win PC,, was in 2003, bought used for roughly 150usd, Pentium 166MHZ (first one), 32mb ram, 1.5GB HDD, no sound card, integrated VGA by SIS

My first P.C was a Pentium 2 based custom hand-me-down from my father (he'd just made the jump to a Pentium 3 with 256mb of memory.

If I recall it had 64mb (then 128mb) memory and a 8GB(?) IDE hard drive. I remember breaking it trying to instal bleem! and a hauppage tv card that never worked properly 

How far we have come

Oh, well it was my brother's computer, but then it became mine. 2GB of RAM. I don't remember the video card, especially since it changed. The hard drive was 30 GB.
