Welcome to buildpc.net, we aim to help you, while online to build a PC for yourself, for the first time. PC's have been around since 1984 when IBM introduced the first IBM PC, since that time the PC has gone through some major changes, there was a time when you were very limited to what your pc could do for you. There were only three colours which were cyan, magenta and white and that was in graphics mode, this grew to 16 colours then 256 and then 16 million, the first pc's had a 20mb hard drive or smaller, also a 5.25" floppy drive and 640kb of ram, later this could be upgraded to 1mb and then 2mb, then 4mb and so on, you will notice that memory tended to increment by a factor of two. Sound was also limited to a beep there were no CD-ROM's, processors were soldered to the motherboard, you had a co-processor, you had to low-level format your hard drive before formatting, you also had to park the had drive if your planned on moving the pc. it was certainly the pioneering age. These days it is a lot simpler, but for many of us it is still quite complicated, so for the benefit of those people we have put together this website to assist you. You should also know that because PC technology is constantly changing we try to avoid talking about new technology, but rather steer to towards that right buying decision and how to make those decisions.
