Man have things come a long way....

 

heh, crazy. I remember buying 8 Mb (megs not gigs) of RAM for $350 and bragging about how great of a deal it was (less than $50/meg).

 

I remember when i used to push a hoop down a hill with a stick

 

I remember when something like 8 years ago I bought my good old Geforce4 Ti 4200 128Mb.

A couple of months later went in the 3DRealms forum and asked if the Geforce4 was going to be enough to run properly Duken Nukem Forever... Goerge Broussard himselft answerd that the Geforce4 Ti GPU was such a powerful card and Duke4 would have probably run smooth enough on that...

LOL

 

my first comp had a 1Gig hard drive.....

 

Lucky you... the first hard drive I owned had 100mb... and it seemed pretty big at the time!
I believe the comp was equipped with a 386 40mhz... lol a 40mhz cpu... now it feels crazy even to think those things existed!

 

Hard to imagine that 5 or so years from now the stuff we own today will seem just as archaic....lmao wow

 

I remember when processors didnt need fans. just had a small heatsink. Consoles didnt even have heatsinks. If i recall correctly, the Snes had a 3mhz processor. Neo Geo had 12mhz.
and graphics cards didnt require power directly from PSU and there was Glide API...so many memories.

 

hmm i guess i can consider my self a lucky one lol my first hard drive was 80 gb one and guess what....ITS STILL IN LOYAL USE IN MY MOMS PC :banana: that fella will just not give up hahaha and of course i can never forget the first card i bought when i upgraded my pc for the first time....MSI Radeon 9550 256 mb memory.....ah guys i still remember the Call of Duty 1 and Rome Total War battles i fought with that one (im not that old i guess but still memories remain lol)

 

I remember my 13MB hard drive that cost me $300. It used the old PATA interface.

And I bought my 8800GT for $320 bucks

 

my x1900xt was $400 >.>

 

My first video card was a GTX 260. LOL. My first hard drive was a 1 Tb Maxtor. Also, LOL.

 

i remember when a 3MB file was 5 minutes of dling...

 

back in 06' my X1600 pro 512mb was $155...

 

I remember windows '95 and Pentium II's.

 

My graphic card doesn't require power from the PSU lol.
Sorry about the double post,i just noticed you had said that.

 

remember when you left the computer to let the computer sign on to the internet

 

Remember when your monitor weighed at least 40lbs.

 

I remember my TI4200 for 600$, I still got this tiny monster in my closet! (no it doesnt work )
