Was just thinking of my old computer systems I have had and maybe you will wish to share your computer upgrades over the years.
1. Atari 400 16k of memory / later upgraded from a tape drive to a disk drive with a whopping 80k of storage / later again got me a 300bps modem and entered the world of private bbs
2. Year later got me the atari 800 and 2 indus gt disk drives that held 160k each wow ! / then upgraded to a 1200bps modem and it blew me away with how fast it was. It was at this time I started my own bbs named ( The Druids Keep )
3. Couple years down the road..... at age 17 or so I pawned all the atari stuff and blew the money on alcohol and girlfriends..... no computer
4. 3 years later at 23 got me a 486 sx 25 system with a svga 14' monitor with 8 megs of ram and a badboy Matrox Millineum with 4 megs of ram ..... was far frop top of line becuase they just introduced the badest computer on earth the Pentium 60mhz
5. Got the game doom and it played kinda ok on my 486 .... upgraded to a 66mhz cpu and wow I was flyin now.... DukeNukem 3d came out and omg my computer sucks!!!!! cant run it in 800x600 without it slowing to a crawl .... upgraded to a 99mhz intel cpu and didnt help much.
6. Was jobless and played duke3d on Ten Entertainment all the time with new high speed modem I think it was 36k bps and was in the top 50 on rank. Mad cuz computer didnt respond good. Got pissed was reading my mail and contained within was a credit card application for gateway computers...... went online applied and whola approved for 5,000.00 fukn dollars and my jaws dropped to floor.
7. Purchased a badboy computer the 333mhz p2 with 128mb ram, 15' monitor ..... the day it arrives I read on gateways site they just introduced the all new 400mhz 100fsp p2 that blew away my system so I sent it back and purchased the new 400mhz a 17' huge fukn monitor and also a even larger one the 40' crt that had maxiumum res of 800x600 I was in duke3d heaven and my rank went from 47 to number 1 . I remained the duke champion for over 3 months .... my rank fell to number 3 at the time of me quiting looseing 2 matches to a player named Mad Clown
8. And so later got a 900mhz athalon then a pentium 2.4c which I have now oc'ed to 3.5ghz 1 gig ram, dvd burner sony 21' monitor, klipsche 5.1 sound system etc
9. I wonder what number 9 will be
