Windows XP Athlon XP-M 2400+ OC'd to 2.2Ghz 256MB DDR400 1280x960 70hz 2 or 3 Mb mIRC, Quake 3, 3DS Max (for school)

Don’t remember exactly but either 933Mhz pentium 3 with 256Mb ram running Linux or sometime around then I upgraded to athlon 64 1.8Ghz with 512Mb ram running Linux. Had a nice Samsung spva or whatever 1280x1024. Dunno refresh rate. Had shitty bellsouth dsl 1.5mbps iirc but it was awesome for me at the time having previously been relegated to shitty dialup after having had isdn earlier around the turn of the century.
Game not a lot morrowind probably and various opensource shit muds and Rogue likes.
As far as apps that was probably around when I switched from gnome to kde since gnome chucked everything like the fags they are. Used to use gaim then kopete a lot to talk to online frens and my long distance gf. Also used maya, and on wine ihad photoshop and painter. I dunno it was a comfy time. I miss my m long distance foreign gf. She’s married and has a daughter now. I’m single and destitute lol.

My dad bought a geforce card after I showed him that game. It's a classic.

I don't have any screenshots. It was some E-Machine shitbox. But it was mine, and mine alone.
Win XP P4 512 MB RAM 1024x768 CRT 60Hz, probably. Slow as balls RuneScape, or as my mother called it RunEscape. MS Visual BASIC 5.0
I can tell you that in 2004 I've taken half my teenage savings and bought my first very own computer after ten years of only using family computers. Athlon 64 3200+, 512 MB DDR RAM, some 200 GB hard drive I think, also I got memed into buying a dog-shit slow Geforce FX 5500 because it was impressed by the 256 MB of VRAM. Ironically the 64-bit Athlons were completely useless over a 32-bit processor because 64-bit Windows XP wasn't even released yet, and by the time it did it was an unstable mess and had such a bad reputation that even with Vista many users still opted for 32-bit, nevermind applications only slowly adopting 64-bit anyway. Still decent CPUs though, gave Intel a run for their money but at far lower clocks.

Late at night I'd steal my dad's laptop to play WCIII on our dial-up. He had a password on it so I'd boot it up into XP safe mode, log into the hidden admin account,and then using only the keyboard (the touchpad drivers wouldn't load in safe mode) I'd re-enable a second admin account, reboot, then login in and play games, undoing all of that at the end of the night.
Now my parents are surprised that I'm a programmer because they never let me have access to computers or the internet back then.
I remember nothing about the laptop besides that it was a Toshiba.

I remember finding a bunch of games deep in the PC which I had never seen before too, Heros of Might and Magic and another one which I don't know the name, but was a some medieval setting with a RTS camera, and it was fucking brutal, I remember my guys having some gory deaths, damn, now I wonder what it was called.

As in the people there? Yeah, it’s different because most of the players aren’t kids anymore. But other than that it’s the 2007 version of Runescape + some new stuff added in.

Windows XP Some pentium 4, I don't know. I know I had a Q6600 a few years later at release though. Fucked if I remember the RAM 75hz 1280x1024 was able to get about 50kbyte down Maplestory, Runescape, Adventure Quest, Neopets, Knights of the Old Republic, Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 since I was replaying those every year at that point, fucked i I remember what else The only other thing I know is that I upgraded from whatever geforce I had after my voodoo 2 (geforce 4?) to a 6600 late that year/early 2005.
Carson Gonzalez
Some kind of pentium 4 with 256 mb of ram. No proper graphics card. But I had a sound card with stereomix and could record stuff off of websites.
I spent most of my time on mpogd.com "multiplayer online games directory" where I would search out new shit and play every free MMO you can think of. My favorites were Continuum, RO, Helbreath, and 'Legends/Dark Ages'
I recall some text browser games, something like 'pimp wars' or some shit having a large userbase. Lots of browser games always at the top listings. It was a solid site and introduced me to a lot of stuff. For you younger people, you probably remember Flyff and Conquer online. Those were both on there shortly after they came into existence

There was this one MMO called 'Corum Online' that left a good impression on me despite being kind of shitty. It had a world map similar to an old FF game where you'd enter different towns and dungeons from before doing the standard MMO fare. Also a couple of great songs youtu.be/yCHrUMV-v9g
