Idk we got it in 1997 from some guy called Ian, second hand.
It had 8mb ram lol but had this fucking amazing game on it called raptor which was awesome and it also had pacman and Microsoft paint which was a lot of fun.

No internet lol and only floppy disc drive no cd rom

Although judging by previous posts perhaps it was an 8mb graphics card? Idk I was only 5 yrs old when we got it, I just saw "8mb" when it started up, dunno what it was for.

My first computer was an ACER T630. It was a single core Intel P4 @ 2.9Ghz with 512mb of DDR2 memory, 80GB 5400rpm Hitachi drive and DVD read only drive. The monitor was standard at 1024x768.
The motherboard died at about 36 weeks and I regret not hanging onto the case for a custom build but not to worry.

I can't remember the exact specs, but it ran Windows 95, and had a WHOPPING 20 Mb of RAM. That's right ladies, 20 ****ing megabytes. I wish I was old enough back then to use that as a pick up line to say that I was rich xD

My parents have had computers before I was born, the first one I can remember had windows 3.0

My dad told me he used to have an apple 2 back in 1982.

The only specs from the computer which I can clearly remember was the i486 CPU and the fact it ran Windows 3.1.
