Did you build it yourself? What OS did you use? Did you have internet access?
Feel free to outline the component brand names and model (if you remember them) and let us know if you still have access to the computer.
This was in Jan 1997. It was running Windows 95 (Windows 98 wasn’t released yet). No internet (we got dialup later in the year; maybe in the late summer). It was built by my parent’s colleague (company system admin), I was too young to build my own PC.
*Pentium I 133 MHz *1.5 GB HDD *CD-ROM Drive *FDD *Sound Blaster 32 (remember getting Sound Blaster Live! In the next build). *32 MB RAM *S3 ViRGE 325 (4 MB RAM if I remember correctly).
I think the colleague who built it sold it off when we got a new build.
Store bought, 6510 1.023 MHz CPU, 64KB RAM, VIC2 video with shared memory, SID 3 voice sound, Single 160KB Floppy, BASIC 2.0 OS
I do! I used it for about an hour just two weeks ago.
Nice! I wish I had my second PC for a retro Win98 rig. The first one I described was cool, but I think the second one would be a better fit for real world retro use).
64 KB RAM sounds comically low even though I am aware of computing in the 80s/70s.
