We actually have the parts invoice to the first computer I ever used kicking around here somewhere, listing its 40GB drive (which is somehow still running I think), 256MB RAM, some ATI card with 32MB VRAM, Celeron smth CPU, and the 17" MAG Innovision tube it was hooked up to.

@dogo neat, my first computer was a 1.44 GHz Athlon XP with 128MB or RAM and a GeForce 2MX. Still works great, I only had to repaste it at some point to stop it from overheating and turning off. I gave it a gig of RAM and a USB 2 card it desperately needed and I'm thinking about getting a GPU that can do DX9 next

@noiob oh gosh i remember my first personal pc having an athlon XP of some kind. always found it weird they named a cpu after XP /hj

@dogo it's quite zippy, at least running ME. I never realized it could handle XP as a kid and I'm kinda glad I didn't, I kept running out of memory in ME already
