The first computer I owned was a 700MHz PIII machine with a 16GB hard drive, DVD-ROM drive and 128MB RAM and a Voodoo II GPU (still running now!)

The first one my family owned was an Amega, then a 1.44Mhz PI with a floppy drive that could juuuuuust run the first Monkey Island game, woo!

Mine was an Amstrad with a green-monochrome monitor...I loved that machine. Dizzy and Repton were some of the greatest games EVER!

The first proper PC I owened was an IBM running Win95, with the greatest selection of DOS games I have ever seen...DooM, DooM ][, All six episodes of Wolfenstein 3D, Simcity, SkiFree (Damn yeti...), Abuse, Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis...

My first pc was a Tandy 386 with DOS and Win3.1, default OS was DOS.
Unforunately I've never remembered its specs as I was only about 3 at the time.(Note: My current age is 21)

Well what was it?

mine, depends, first one I ever used was an old fatmac, first one I owned was an old 386 that had been *upgraded* to win95 ( and could barely run that) on the topic of old games, how I miss chips challenge.

I don't know... but I think it's 80486 or something... with a Chinese Windows 3.1(3.2?) at age of six... and I definitely remember it had a "Turbo" button that (back then) does not seem to do anything.

I played more with my mom's electronic Chinese/English dictionary, though.
