Urbanoutlaw Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 IBM (Infernal Bowel Movement) (Cr)aptiva 166 Bought from a pawn shop, Had to wipe the HDD (8 gig, I think). Previous owner had like 11 net services on it & deleted part of the OS to make room. No problem till I discovered it had the "All in Wonder" card. Insert F-bombs here. "All in Wonder" had the audio, video, modem & drive controllers on it so I needed a driver for my CD Rom to reload the OS. Retard at IBM wanted to sell me a bootable CD w/ the OS & couldn't understand why that did me no good. Turned out the CD Rom had to have the proprietary driver for that machine to work, a 7meg file they quit supporting. Finally paid Best Buy to reload it & they told me next time all I needed was a Win 95 boot floppy. Spank you IBM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righty Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Our worst PC I know nothing about, wasn't into computers back then. But the most frustrating was by far the Compaq with Windows ME. Runs XP Pro now and is pretty good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbanoutlaw Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I still have a working copy of DOS 3.3 left over from my old 286.I suppose it's a little off topic since that one never gave any problems, but it's still a far cry from my current "Rocket Box 3.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornronim Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) My first PC(the thing I've got now) has: 128MB of RAM S3 Graphics Prosavage KM133(you ever head of it?) AMD Duron Processor ASUS Motherboard (forgot the type) CRT Monitor, forgot how big it is, but it isn't exactly large. Made by Hi-Grade, should be called low-grade Oh yeah and running XP Pro SP1(I haven't got internet at home and SP2 won't fit on my memory stick) I got this in 2002 and it's somehow running XP, but I'm sure it's designed for 98, for a start it has the 98 logo on the keyboard instead of XP... That's what you get when you order from a catalogue, I wasn't into computers at the time I got it so that's probably the reason it ain't good, it could also be Hi-Grades fault.damn rip-off it cost £1000... That's what I remember, I'm using my Dads PC at moment anyway. edit: just checked where my KM133 came from and according to what it said it's an onboard video card...

rockstarrem Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I believe they got this in 1990 or so, but passed on to me: Tandy (OLD RadioShack brand name) Windows 3.1 RAM 64 MB (I think, not positive) Hard Drive not sure All I know is that it pwned like everything I ever had. I used it all the time. But yeah, the only thing I remember was Tandy and Windows 3.1 and it was one of the best you could get a while ago.

StormLexer Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I had a Win 95 with a stagering 2.4 GB HDD. Our pride and glory at that time Haha, mine was sortof like that. 32mb ram ??mb graphics(if any..) 1gb HDD And unknown prossessor. This was like... the first colored computer or some crap, it was horrable, yet decent at the time. Then I had another one that only had 64mbs ram, then got another after having that for about 5 years with 256mb ram, 128(or so) graphics, and now my current which is good but not great, 512mb ram, and 256mb graphics.

Toaletino Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I got my first PC back in 2001. The list of all the goodies: - CPU: Pentium III (I think it´s a Pentium) 899mhz speed - 256mb RAM - ATI Radeon 9000 Graphics Card - Something Sound Card... - 20gb HDD (It was bad even for that times...) - 800x600 CRT Monitor What was the motherboard, I don´t remember. And the speakers I got with it lasted me for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran "Star Wars: Dark Forces" into the ground on it, racked up a lot of time on "Doom" while I was at it. I just found it in storage & I'm thinking of firing it up w/ some of my old games just for the fun of it. Rocketbox 4.2 (my current machine) is annoying me once again. Motherboard went & gave me the black screen of death. Closer examination reveales several capacitors on the boadr were bulging. I tried using a small hammer to flatten them out, but no luck.....
