My Computer - 1996

I bought a IBM compatible clone pro computer in 1996, when the Pentium computers first came out. The computer was a Intel 100 MHz that I upgraded to a 200MHz CPU (Pentium 1), the upgrade made the computer able to run more programs at once, or faster. It came with Windows 95, then when Windows 98 came out I upgraded the RAM memory 24MB, to 64MB so it was able to Windows 98. I upgraded the Hard Drive, and got a faster CD ROM player for it.

The computer has a built in floppy disk, and I added a built in ZIP drive to it, and later I bought a 56K modem for it.

The new Pentium 1, was very nice because it had 256 color graphics, instead of black and white, or 16 color graphics.

I needed the upgrades also, because I could install more software programs, and have enough RAM memory to make the software run better.

The computer came with a keyboard, a mouse. I bought a 15 inch, SVGA, CRT monitor for it. The computer had a sound card, and mini stereo speakers; then I upgraded it to a Powercube Speaker System with a 15 watt amplified stereo with a sub-woofer, and two 10 watt, 2.1 inch stereo speakers. I bought a color computer printer for the computer, also. Eventually, the computer patch cords wore out so I had to buy new ones for the computer. The Pentium 2 computers came out in 1999, they replaced the Pentium 1 computers; and the of Intel processor, and RAM memory was made differently. So, so there was no compatible way, to further upgrade the Pentium 1 clone pro computers.
