Does a Commadore 16 count?
If not then a Pentium 400MHZ, 32M ram, was a complete pile of crashing junk....

[prehensile]

Zx 81, Sinclair ql, Archimedes, PC 2086 from 1982 until 1998, second-hand AMD 3-D now for 400 back in 2000. With a voodoo 3000 card, first 3-D game on my PC was probably total carmageddon.

My first computer was a Superboard 2
After owning it for many months, I upgraded it by buying a case to put it in! Then I had a ZX Spectrum, and then an Enterprise 64

My first actual PC was an Amstrad PPC640 "portable"

They all seemed like a good idea at the time, so no insults please!

PC as in IBM Clone?
Or PC as in Personal Computer.....?

1st Computer was one of the old rubber keyed speccys altho that was a "Familiy" one, "My" 1st real machine was a Speccy +2...
Then from that I had an Amiga 1200 which had a few bits and bobs thrown at it 040/40, CDROM's, Drives etc..
1st IBM Clone was a P150 I think it was....

[Tiswos]

My first computer was a 16k ZX Spectrum
Then upgraded it to 48k
Then a Spectrum48+
Spectrum128k+
Amiga 500
Amiga 1200
Amiga 1200 50/040 6MB RAM
PII, 32MB, 1gb HDD, S3Virge gfx (?)
Later added a G400 Matrox Millenium card

Next PC is AMD AthlonXP 2000+, 512Mb RAM, 120gb hdd, G4Ti4200 gfx

Finally current PC (when it's finally assembled) is AMD Athlon64 3500+, 74gb Raptor, XFX GeForce6800gt pci-e, a8n sli deluxe mobo.

[italianninja]

mine was a pentium 2.0ghz, 5.1 soundblaster audigy platinum, msi motherboard, no actual my first pc was an ibm from staples =)

[dodgybob]

Pentium3 450mhz, 32mb tnt2 m64, chaintech bx440 motherboard, 128mb pc100 ram and a soundblaster live value. It had a 17" monitor and one of those uber fast and amazingly spacious 15gb maxtor 7200rpm hard drives.

Bought it from Evesham and it took me a year to save up for in my part time washing up job in my 1st year of a levels, particularly with an upgrade to such a huge monitor.

Lasted 4 years before I built my 1st xp2100+ system and now it's my dad's pc.
