I remember when I thought my l33t 1.5gb was enough. :lol:

[Happy lil Elf]

I remember upgrading from 8MB to 16MB of RAM and thinking we'd never need more :rofl:

[Squeeky]

I remember when i was a baby, ahh, 6 months ago. FUcking long time dude....

:)

[Ait'al]

I still have my tandy 3100. it has like 16mb and goes oddly to 64mb (came with 4 i think. It was fun when simms wasnt a just a type of video game. And of course the Amiga comidor.
And it was fun getting those game that still had REAL Floppy disks. :brow: And i dont mean 3.5 You know before those things called CDs existed or were atleast affordable.

Adn when did a P4 3.6 come out?

[Veteran]

I'ma use my kidney to get a phat rig like that some day.

[Spider]

My first computer had problems running DOS... beat that :ugh:

Plus you made a mistake on building your comp... Nvidia.. should of went with Ati... then get on of those big cases in titanium with prismatic paint and custom paintjob from falcon northwest and TADAM! You raised your price by 5000$ :D

[NoSurrender]

Nvidia doesnt make Intel Motherboards. Intel is a idiot by not doing it. So that setup cannot and doesnt exist... ( a different rig might but that one is fictional)

[Sputty]

*giggle*
At least I can mock your video card

My first computer experience was via Teletype on PAPER at 110 baud!
My first personal computer has 4 K (yes K) of RAM. Hard Drive? you must be kidding? I loaded programs from cassette tape - later I went hi-tech and got 360K 5 1/4" Floppies. (I remember 8" floppies also) My CPU ran at a blistering .985 Mhz - yes not even 1 Mhz. Later I upgraded to a whopping 16K of RAM. I actually soldered a second set of 16K chips on top of the first ones to make it go to 32K ram months before they even announced 32k was possible.
My first "PC" was a 10Mhz 8086 XT with 1 Mb of RAM and have had one of each iteration thoughout the years .. 286, 386, 468, Pentium 1, Pentium 2, and Pentium 3. I skipped the Pentium 4 and went to AMD (currently 2100XP with 1 Gig of 3200 DDR ram, Asus A7N8X, 120 Gb 7200 rpm Hd) Needless to say I have seen personal computers all the way from the Altair to current - and it's been quite a ride! :D

My first comp had 16K of RAM, that's all I remember really

If you actually did buy that computer (which you didn't for the reason stated by Pyro_Man) I think you are a fool for spending $8,000 on a computer that will be trumped within four months by a $3,000 computer.

You would have been better off getting a $1,700 computer that would have 90% of the power.

Holy shit Marsman :rofl:

:rofl: Somebody saw your ass coming :rofl:

[Pilgrim]

Yeah... it ain't possible as per reasons above, so assuming you're just making a mistake about the chip set (understandable)

My Rig that only costs around $1000 will spec to within %10 of that one.

So enjoy not having the 2-4 grand extra you spent.

I don't go back to the Tape drives. I was growing up on the atari and the single game console TV back then. My first PC was the 5.5" floppies. My buds I work with had tapes and you had to program your own games on them. You placed a tape in the drive and pressed pause and record. Then the wrote out the program and unpaused the tape and that saved it.

From my buddy that was working with one of those:
"load*.*"

ok now that its all in the clear that is not the real reticulex if u want to know more about it im me on aim at FFfanatic605 and ill explain ....

[Spider]

OMG! Marsman is the inventor of Ram stacking! OMG OMG!

I am now the official Marsman fanboy! Where's the pics of him so I can make a big poster of him... lifesize... with the mouth cut out :brow:

[Happy lil Elf]

Like it's a big mystery Pryo :lol:

You know what's really funny though? Everyone saying "Ha ha! you wasted all that money!" has no basis for doing so. He didn't spend a dime on it. Hence the "spoiled bastard" option in the poll.

If you I had someone else footing the bill the price wouldn't bother me a whole lot either :p

[TheRagingGerbil]

This year, it was either buy a new PC or buy new living room furniture.

You all know which one I wanted, but guess which one I got...

Hint - I'm married.
