My first one was something along these lines:
Pentium 75MHZ or so
windows 95
3GB hard drive
I forget how much RAM it had but I think it might have been like 16MB or so, not sure.
It also had one of those turbo buttons on it, not sure what it did but when I pressed it, it seemed like nothing happened.

This was a custom built computer, I didn't really build anything because I was like 6 or 7 at the time but I did help my dad put a few things in. I thought I was so cool having a computer of my own and thought that was a fast PC, amazing how fast technology changes.

Thats cool man,

What the turbo button did in those PCs is actually overclock the processor a few MHZ for ultimate speed.

it may have not been connected correctly or may have not been setup correctly in the BIOS.

Turbo buttons onws!

Actually, when I was on one at school, I never pressed it. It does help, but heh.

It can take a 386 from 16MHZ to 40MHZ.

Think the first one i built was prob in 95-96 it was something like an intel 486dx2 66mhz no idea of mobo i do know we got the mobo from an auction and it was missing a bios so found a non working mobo and swapped bios's worked nicely lol. ram was something daft like 8mb prob a 250mb hdd (if that) graphics was a cirrus logic one, what ever happend to cirrus logic they dont make gfx any more do they and a sound blaster card 8bit ISA, i was amazed at the sound quality . And it was all inside a nasty HUGE and i mean HUGE IBM 286 case. Family was broke then so half the fun was getting a semi decent pc built from basically scrap.
