My first PC (that actually was mine) was a Toshiba convertible tablet laptop. Got it for college in 2005, and of course I was tempted to run games on it, and boy was it terrible (Intel Xtreme Graphics 2!). But it was enough to play Far Cry (with graphical glitches), Call of Duty, and Age of Empires 2. The following year I invested in a much more appropriate laptop that I could game on, though I should've looked for something with a more beefy GPU to go with it's Mobile Athlon 64 4000. The Mobility Radeon X600 sounded good at the time to me, though in reality it was not sufficient for games moving into 2006. But it did get me my first real taste of modern PC gaming. Played alot of BF2, CoD2, HL2 and numerous other games on that machine.
My first PC build was in early 2007:
Athlon 64 x2 5600 Windsor, Socket AM2
EVGA Geforce 8800GTS 320 MB
2 x 1GB DDR2-1066
EVGA nForce 5 Mobo (Or was it 4?)
Finally being able to play FEAR and my other games in their full glory at 1440 x 900, was......well........GLORIOUS!
