Funny enough.....no
But it was being held back severely, so I added a few parts, a tweak here, a tweak there etc

My first Solo built pc back in 1995 had the following;

Pentium 100 (fastest available when built)
32mb RAM (cost over £330 then )
1.2GB Hard Drive (this was mahooosive back then)
Windows 95
CD Rom

Then that was the Enterprise
I remember being quoted as saying "How will I ever fill that hard drive up?"
Now I have a 1 Terabyte HD or another way 1000GB Hard Drive.

Remember it well mate, when Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 6.2 had just come out and was considered cutting edge!

My first computer build was a Intel DX75, 8Mb RAM, Soundblaster 16 sound card, 8Mb hard drive, 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drive, then built a IBM Cyrix 100 system, never seen/used a crap processor, ditched that and done a AMD 400Mhz system
