I remember my PC with an Intel 80386 processor. It ran Windows 2.0. Did you have one?
I bought my first computer in 1997 or so. All I remember about it was that is was a Compaq? I think HP later bought them out.
The first version of the 80386 had 275,000 transistors, which was considered high end at the time. Your Compaq was much more powerful than the 80386!
I'm not very technical. What exactly are transistors? lol
Transistors are semiconductor devices used to switch electronic signals. They are the "brain" of the computer.
Cool! It sounds like you are a tech expert.
Before transistors, vacuum tubes were used. These made computers very large, even the size of rooms!
I remember visiting my Dad at work and their computers were the size of cars! lol
