My first PC was a 486, and to be absolutely honest, i can't remember what sort of specs it had.
Only reason i got it was for gaming.
One thing i remember from that system was the fond (and sometimes downright headshaking) moments i had playing games like Civ 1, Armored Fist, Warcraft 1.
Warcraft 1 and Civ 1 played fine, Armored Fist though was an issue.
The game was a 4 or 5 floppy disc install
