minus-squareandrew@lemmy.stuart.funlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 years agoMan, I guess I’m at least middle age now. I remember thinking my first custom build’s processor was definitely gonna have to be one of these brand new badass i7s.
minus-squarestate_electrician@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 years agoMy first PC, custom built, was an Intel 486DX4 100Mhz. 4MB RAM and a 800MB HD. Paid in a currency that doesn’t exist anymore.
