Well it was actually my sis's pc but here we go...

Pentium III 733MHz
128Mb SDR
30Gb
200Watt
4Mb Onboard <SMIRKS> GPU
AC' 97 Audio Onboard

Even at the time it was complete and utter pants, strugling to run even the most drainage free games at the time, i.e. cs , ut, Q3:A and so on...

Now its a mere heap of scrap metal in the corner gathering dust...poor dust...

The only thing of interest is the measily 30Gb HDD which I've carved out of its owners smelly rotting carcass

I thank my PC everyday those days are long gone and distant...

>>ANDREW!!, are you hugging your PC again??

<<Erm...no...

[m0cea]

At a guess I had
Athlon 900
RiVA TNT2
384MB
3 X 9.1 Seagate UW scsi

trouble is my machines evolve it very rare that I have a complete change.

I think the real qusetion hear should be what was your first setup?

I had a Tiny PC

700Mhz P3
128MB RAM
20GB Fujitsu HD
Some nVidia graphics card

It was a pretty good machine actually, and I still use it loads. It'll run CS 1.6 fine, and it's now got a wireless LAN card and a standard NIC in it too.

Still got it. Still use it. Still find it better than a PC at composing my music.
