hi!
this came to me one day, as i noticed there's a broad range in age among OCF members, some above 30, some below 20 (like me).
so i'm just curious in asking what sort of PC and what specs it had when you were 15 years old.
was overclocking even possible then? LOL
- How much did you spend on your system?
- What specs did it have?
- What was the main reason for your PC? (gaming...education etc)
anything really.
i'll start first!
when i was 15 (November 2007) i had the similar computer to what i have in my sig.
cpu - e6400 - stock speed stock cooling
mobo - gigabyte 965p-s3
ram - 1gb generic 667mhz
graphics - asus 7600gt
psu - CM Extreme 650w
peripherals - G3 mouse, G11 keyboard
sound - Logitech Z5400
screen - BenQ 22" Wide
hdd - 250gb Seagate
case - antec 900
since then, i have learnt all about overclocking and how a computer actually works. 1.5 years ago i pretty much only knew how to turn one on and use software/play games.
now i can put a computer together from scratch in a few hours, overclock without worry etc.
hardware i have changed is grahpics, to a Powercolor 4850
overclocked cpu to 3.4ghz (from 2.13ghz) with a TRUE
upgraded to 4gb of OCZ Reaper X kit.
upgarded to 1tb of space, as 250gb didn't suffice for all my files.
painted case fully black, and added a few more Antec fans in.
and my G11 keyboard broke, so i sent it back to the shop, and they replaced me with a G15 rev.2 becuase G11 was out of production.
what is your story?
anybody had a 400mhz cpu back the days? or the good old 4mb harddrive? haha
