Your First Computer!

[Samurai]

First computer I ever owned was the Commodore 64

Had a few 'household' PC's and if I remember correctly the first cost around £1200 and had a Intel MMX 233MHz Win 95.

My personal first however is this one I'm using which I purchased in September 2003...

AMD Athlon 3000+
512MB Memory
17in TFT
Windows XP etc...

Give it 6 months and that'll be out of date too

p 200
32mb ram
5 Gb driver
PCI rage 2 GFX card

My first one was a Kaypro. Not sure of the specs, dos, hard case, looked like a metal suitcase. Had 2 games on it, a real improvement over "Pong".

LOL AT YOUR POWER SUPPLY!!!
100W... Holy Dog Sh*t that system wouldnt even boot up because of the lack of power supply. Youd need atleast a few 500W Power Supplys dazy chained to each other.. Todays servers have lower stats than that and run of some Massive Watt sizes.
hehe.. i hope i taught ya a lesson or two about power

You must be joking about our power supply. You must be outdated, the new power supplies uses 5x less power since 1980. You must be 9 years outdated. Also, the power supplies by turning on it's "old mode" and have the capability to run 10 of your outdated servers.
