Jada Maroo	Posted - 2011.04.14 11:26:00 - [1] Edited by: Jada Maroo on 14/04/2011 11:32:55 The rebirth of the Commodore 64 has gotten me really nostalgic for old computers this week. I've even been browsing Youtube for bootup sounds and videos of old games and operation systems. It got me thinking about my computer history. Here's the list as I remember it -- it gets little fuzzy in some spots but I think this is everything (excluding notebooks and mobile devices). Commodore 64 Commodore 64 v2 (the white and grey one) Commodore Colt IBM PS/1 (god I wish I still had this they are worth a lot) Philips 386/33 -Everything from here on was custom built but I will list the processors- 486/50 Pentium 90 Pentium II 333 (this one had an awesome slot catridge) AMD Athlon 600 AMD Athlon 1133 Pentium 4 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo E6600 (I think) Core i5 Next plan? I'll probably wait for whatever comes after the Core i7.

Mister Rocknrolla	Posted - 2011.04.14 13:10:00 - [3] TI-99 Apple ][e and ][c (at school-not owned) Vic-20 (cassette tape drive!) C-64 (my first floppy drive-as big as modern notebook PCs) Long break IBM 486 (college issue -my first HD 40MB!) Upgraded the above to 486DX2-66Mhz, added my first CD drive and "windows" card. From then on purchased parts and had constantly evolving PC...can't recall purchasing a definable PC.
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2011.04.14 14:29:00 - [4] Edited by: Akita T on 14/04/2011 14:39:13 Some ancient machine I don't even remember what it was (it ran CP/M) - not owned, just used (1983-1984) Tim-S (a Romanian ZX-Spectrum clone) - not owned, just used (1984-1986) HC-85 (another Romanian ZX-Spectrum clone) - first actually "owned" computer (1987 to can't remember when) 286 @ 16Hz/25Hz ("turbo" mode, lol) - not owned, just used (can't remember years) Intel 386 @ 33Hz (I think from around 1990 or so) AMD 486 @ 80Hz (if I remember right, from 1994) Pentium MMX @ 233 (1997?) -> insert 3dfx Voodoo 2 video card around 1998-1999 ? Athlon 700 ? (2000?) -> GeForce MX2 video card, I think Pentium 4 @ 3.2 GHz (or was it 3.4 ? I forget), I think some time around 2002, maybe 2003 -> GeForce 5400, if I remember right Intel E2140 (Pentium Dual Core @ 1.6 GHz), around 2007 or so -> GeForce 8500 GT, IIRC, it eventually fried, replaced with Radeon HD 4350 for a short while Core i5 760 (Quad Core @ 2.8 GHz) since autumn of 2010 -> 460 GTX Hmm... a rather short list... and a bit fuzzy on some of the details from memory... Also had a few "secondary machines" between 2004-2008, weaker than the "main" machine, but for the life of me can't remember the specs, except that the one I ended up using most of the time instead of the P4 (it also had a much weaker processor) had some Radeon HD in it, don't even remember exactly which type, not even the series. _ CCP LEADERSHIP MENTALITY NEEDS TO CHANGE FAST !

Netheranthem Eve Engineering Finance Eve Engineering	Posted - 2011.04.14 15:31:00 - [7] - I don't remember, I was 5. - Apple G3 all-in-one - Apple G5 all-in-one - Apple Intel Core 2 Duo 20" 2.2 GHz. - MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 13" 2.2 GHz. - AMD Phenom x6, ATi 5750, 4 GB of Ram, 2x23" displays. A beast compared to the rest.
Marie Hartinez Gallente Aries Munitions and Defense	Posted - 2011.04.14 16:18:00 - [8] Some of the details are a bit fuzzy, but here it goes: - Apple IIe I think, I remember it being an Apple II something. - Commodore 64 - Commodore 128 - Commodore SX-64 - A Radio Shack 286 based notebook - 486/DX 66MHz in TURBO mode, muwhahahahahahah.... - Either a Pentium 120MHz or 133MHz - AMD x86 running at something like 400MHz or something.... - Various other AMD Athlons - Present is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 Next planned is either an AMD quad or 6 core CPU depending on if my current motherboard can support a 6 core. The 486 was custom built for me and everything after that I've built myself. I just can't justify buying a pre-built computer anymore. Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.
Sitara Minmatar Solar Flare Trade and Production	Posted - 2011.04.14 18:34:00 - [9] Hmm, lets see... Acorn Atom (512 bytes of RAM ftw lol - no storage device interface but not a major issue considering how little time it took to type in the longest program it could store - taught me the basics of programming tho) ZX81 Amstrad CPC464 Atari ST Mac Plus 486 66 Since then its hard to follow - since the 486 every PC has included parts from the last one so its a bit of a moving target - had a variety of the Cyrix pentium alternatives, Athlon 550, Athlon XP (at least 2 of these), Pentium 4, Core2Duo now on a Core 2 Quad 9550 and waiting for the high-mid range to get powerful enough to be a decent upgrade (the modest real world performance increase from where I am now to an i7 just isn't worth the cash to me yet)
Copine Callmeknau Kangaroos With Frickin Lazerbeams The KWFL Republic	Posted - 2011.04.14 20:36:00 - [10] wowww, ummm Amiga A500+ <\ Amiga A4000 <-- These two were my primary comps, Beat everything below until I got a decent PC Apple Mac IIe Apple Mac Plus <- oddity Apple Mac SE/30 Apple Powermac 9600 Apple G3 Amiga A1000 <- oddity Commodore 64 <- oddity Some HP piece of ** celeron --Cope discovers how to build computers here-- Some mediocre rig w/ willamette p4, running around 2ghz iirc -- mx440 gfx card Not so mediocre northwood hyperthreaded p4 @ 3hz -- radeon 9600pro (later upgraded to geforce 7600 GT) ---many years go by--- northwood popped, so I quickly throw together a core 2 duo unit ---weeks go by--- core2 duo pops. Now I have no computer for a few months. This brings us to late november last year Core i7 950, 6gb DDR2000 ram, watercooled GTX470's running in SLI. Now, as someone who has owned more apple mac's than any other computer, I can safely say they are the worst** computers I have ever used PC's are ftw if you're technically minded, closely followed by amigas ...oh wait Stunning EVE Online Theme for PS3

Gavjack Bunk Gallente Genos Occidere HYDRA RELOADED	Posted - 2011.04.15 09:46:00 - [16] My list is as uninspiring as everybody elses except for briefly owning a Vectrex I can barely remember anything about it. I refuse to buy another as it will, like so much else, replace my memories of awesome with knowledge of suck.

Sturmwolke	Posted - 2011.04.15 15:44:00 - [19] I remembered drooling on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and its contemporaries (Apple II, C64 etc), but it wasn't really a priority ... remote controlled toys were, so parental persuasion was mostly a fail.
