100 mhz Pentium processor
862 Mb hard disk
22.6kbps modem
world's first sound blaster card

[Xendance]

Hmm, I shall post mine on Thursday evening

 

[-Psy-]

Mine was...

Athlon XP 3200+
1GB DDR RAM
120GB HDD
(Used to have a) 22.8 kbps modem
9600XT

The CD drives are in the one I'm using now. They're alright.

hmm...

i still have a dead celeron 300 with 512mb ram and a matrox millenium under a desk. though i use it's drive as external backup drive . and no, the drive is not nearly as old as the rest of the comp.

I've got a windows 3.1 machine at home with some insanely slow CPU (<100mhz), 4mb of RAM, the works. It was the computer we had in 1992. I've also got a P2 133mhz running NT, 2gb HDD and stuff, and a few between here and there.

There's a Windows 3.1 machine in our basement now. I don't know the specs of it, but I used it tons when I was a young little tyke. Not sure abouts when, but it was in the early to mid '90s.

There are several older ones we have than Win3.1, even. There's a Heathkit custom build DOS computer, which my dad built himself, where storage is through the gigantic floppies. And a Sanyo computer of the same level (I think..)

And he also has a TRS-80. We're not sure if it still works, because we can't find the power supply. :|

He also has several computers that are older than the TRS-80, but I don't know the names of them..

So the oldest computer we have comes from the late '70s and early '80s

I beleive this wouldn't even be able to run vanilla Doom2.

 

[DevgruSeal]

Ahh yes, Doom. That's one of the games I played tons of on that old Pionex (The Win3.1 machine I mentioned above) That, and Quake Shareware.

 

[Eejit]

Win 3.1 (though we mostly used DOS), 40Mhz, not sure about HD or RAM. No CD drive, no modem.

Played all the old DOS games on it (mainly the Apogee ones).

Games played/are better than the ones on my 486. This thing is my childhood.

I got my first proper PC early '95 I think. Cost 2000GBP and was pretty much top of the range at the time. 800MB HDD, LOL! Dont remember the rest of the specs but it was probably similar to soulslicers.

I beleive this wouldn't even be able to run vanilla Doom2.

But can it run SPREADSHEET?

Um... we have an Atari stored away somewhere, if that counts.

My first computer was -

Celeron 366mhz CPU
64mb RAM
4mb someshite graphics
6gb HDD
Gigabyte mobo
And stuff

Cost us $3000. A comparable computer by today's standards would cost half that at most. :|

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Celeron 333 mhz
256 ram
6 gb HD

 

[Gunner]

It's not with me, it's at my brother's place.

486 sx 25mhz
8mb ram
160mb HDD

Had trouble running doom2 fluidly, had to reduce the screen size.

 

[Asus]

The oldest PC I have bought (1999) was an AMD Athlon 650MHz Slot A, Asus motherboard, Diamond tnt video (later upgraded to an ATI AIW Rage128 PCI card-16MB), 128MB or 256MB (not sure) PC100 SDRAM , Creative Sound Blaster and a 250Watt PSU.

When growing up I used a lot older PCs though.

 

[Tyguy]

Think its probably a 1 gig pentium 4. Had that about 2 years ago until I got my new one. Now it just sits in the closet collecting dust. I used to have some ANCIENT ones, one particular had Tab works as an operating system, at least I think it was an operating system.

windows 95

 

[estrides]

I actually have an original LISA computer with all stock components. And I have a Comodore 64.
