Gibwar Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 My first computer was a Leading Edge 8086 processor, with 512kb of RAM and a 20MB hard drive! AND it came with a monochrome screen (though the video adapter can do 16 colors! you had to buy an expensive (at the time) monitor) The best that poor thing could run was DOS 5.0 and not much more - even Windows 1.0 needed a color screen. lol :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/124200-the-first-computer-i-ever-used/#findComment-1482825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonBlur Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Apple II was my first. The first computer that was MINE was a custom-built machine though. It had a 386 processor (forget the speed). Then I upgraded to a 68Mhz AMD 486. I think I had 8MB RAM and upgraded to 16MB later. I had to tweak the hell out of that thing to play Wing Commander III without the video skipping, hehe. It had a 512MB HD, I think.
