Did you build it yourself? What OS did you use? Did you have internet access?

Feel free to outline the component brand names and model (if you remember them) and let us know if you still have access to the computer.

This was in Jan 1997. It was running Windows 95 (Windows 98 wasn’t released yet). No internet (we got dialup later in the year; maybe in the late summer). It was built by my parent’s colleague (company system admin), I was too young to build my own PC.

*Pentium I 133 MHz *1.5 GB HDD *CD-ROM Drive *FDD *Sound Blaster 32 (remember getting Sound Blaster Live! In the next build). *32 MB RAM *S3 ViRGE 325 (4 MB RAM if I remember correctly).

I think the colleague who built it sold it off when we got a new build.

    I purchased a 4.3gb hard drive in the late 90s. 97 or 98 possibly 99. So a 5gb is not out of the realm of possibility for win 95. Especially if they did not upgrade right away.

      Definitely, I am just going from memory. 5 GB for 96/97 seems a bit high, but possible.
