I think it was a bit too much of an upgrade though, it overheated and got fuzzy lines on the screen if played for too long ;-) The instability was probably due to it being a cheap clone of the BBC-B, the real ones were a staggering 2Mhz! ;-) Ah good point, it probably was 2MHz! Wow, I could almost do sums that fast :-) |

My first real computer was an amiga 1200 with a 4mb ram expansion,
400mb 3.5" HDD, 14in monitor, squirell scsi pc card with a dual speed cdrom. My first PC was rented from radio rentals, and it was an olivetti machine. It had 8Mb Ram, P100 CPU and a 1Gb HDD. Also had 1Mb onboard VGA. 4x CDROM and soundcard. To upgrade it i spent nearly a hundred pound another 2x 4Mb SIMMs to take the ram to 16Mb and i added another 800Mb HDD. Also got a 250Mb Colorado tape drive to go in it. Still have the pc in the spare room, i mite just fire it up later......... regards paul |

"raj" wrote in message ... just name your first computer you ever owned, mine was a 286 wit smokin 1 meg of ram 24 meg hardrive lol and one of those new floppy drives lol C64- later version with body-coloured keys and matching tape drive. never had a 5.25" FDD, though.... That would have been 1987/8, when I was about 5 years old. Sold it in about '93 with a ton of games for £100. Odd... not as many complete young 'uns answered as you'd think.... I'd have expected at least one "Sega Genesis/Megadrive" or "Sony Playstation". While i'm indulging in nostalgia, i'll mention that after the C64 I got a Sega Game Gear some time in the early 90s, and my first PC was September 1993- an Amstrad MegaPC, which had a rather aging 386SX25 processor, 2Mb Ram, 256Kb Video RAM, and a 40Mb hard drive. MS-DOS 5.0 OS- those were the days! You could have Windows 3.1 installed, or you could have a game, but never both- and a flip panel on the front which turned it into a Sega Genesis/Megadrive console! Which was brilliant, until I did some upgrading and the console bit stopped working. Ah, to be eleven again... -- Here lies the late Martin Francis He couldn't tell you the technical merits of Leitz and Zeiss But he did take some photographs once. |

"raj" wrote in message ... just name your first computer you ever owned, mine was a 286 wit smokin 1 meg of ram 24 meg hardrive lol and one of those new floppy drives lol Tandy-1000 RLX here.... bought a 10gig seagate hard drive, a SCREAMING 1200 baud modem, upgraded the 512k with a 512k *zip chip* for a total of 1mb of ram for it and I thought it was the bomb. Remember Deskmate (the graphical *Windows like* GUI?) Mine came with a copy of the very first Prince Of Persia game which at the time was very kewl. First kickass game I downloaded was on AOL (or was that Prodigy...can't remember now...think they were the only two around that I recall) and it was called Wolfenstein..... couldn't wait to show that game off to my bro.... two days later he was out buying the same setup.. |

In alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia, raj ordered an army of hamsters to
type: just name your first computer you ever owned, mine was a 286 wit smokin 1 meg of ram 24 meg hardrive lol and one of those new floppy drives lol Sinclair Spectrum +2 128k. I had the larger one with the intergrated cassette drive, and in gray too. Later they were black. I also aquired an older 48k model with the rubber keys (ik!), but it never replaced the 128. 4mhz cpu if i remember corectly. |
