Right I was raiding my loft/attic out the other day any came across the old box to my 1st ever PC i bought which was in 2000 it was a Compaq Presario 5410 and to this day I still remember the very poor spec of it.
Windows 98se
AMD K-3 350mhz CPU
32mb SDRAM PC-100
4gb HDD
CD-ROM
oboard graphics and sound
Heck I remember selling my PSone to put towards it I was 16 lol £800 it cost me it was an ace thing at the time until after a year and learnt most of stuff of building PCs off the net then I was not amused. I did upgrade it I know I maxed out it's memory to 384mb and a new HDD from 4GB to 20GB and installed a Hercules Phophet 32mb PCI card and a new CD-RW drive and put Windows XP Home on it too.
Still to this day even thou it was crap if it wasnt for buying it I would of never had learnt the exp I know today e.g the upgrades and how to install them etc so in a way it was good for something, does anyone here remember there 1st Windows based PC.
