Go Commodore!

My first one was a Commodore 64C, though I had spent endless hours on a friend's Amstrad CPC-464. With regards to x86 my first one was a Pentium 1 200MHz. It was one of the MMX ones...wow

It had 16MB which at the time people thought was a big deal. And a massive 1.6GB hard drive

C64.

First x86: Packard Bell 386SX running at 16mhz.

First decent x86: Dell 386DX running @25mhz.

The first PC I personally owned was a 700MHZ running Windows 2000 I think

We had a load of family PCs going back to the Amiga though

You go, Mike! I lusted after one of those, back in their day. Quite pricey, as I recall.

Nice and as old as mine

Just found out that Linus started on a Vic 20 too.

Hewlett-Packard HP-86, my dad brought it home from work somehow. My friends used to come over and ogle it. No OS, just a BASIC interpreter. I never really got much milage out of it.

First x86 was a 386DX (33MHz), used to play Aldo on it all day. Incidently we also got a 486DX2 (50MHz) when they came out and that would later become the first computer I would load Linux on (Slackware). Memories.
