Did you build it yourself? What OS did you use? Did you have internet access?
Feel free to outline the component brand names and model (if you remember them) and let us know if you still have access to the computer.
This was in Jan 1997. It was running Windows 95 (Windows 98 wasn’t released yet). No internet (we got dialup later in the year; maybe in the late summer). It was built by my parent’s colleague (company system admin), I was too young to build my own PC.
*Pentium I 133 MHz *1.5 GB HDD *CD-ROM Drive *FDD *Sound Blaster 32 (remember getting Sound Blaster Live! In the next build). *32 MB RAM *S3 ViRGE 325 (4 MB RAM if I remember correctly).
I think the colleague who built it sold it off when we got a new build.
First few proper ones I knew what what going on with where this

And a bunch of Atari st machines!! God the Atari stuff was glorious for the time!!!
But before that had the older amstrad and a Hitachi peach iirc, but I was too young to really know what was what with those.
Did you ever use this mode?
By the time I got into computing (96), I think 800x600 with at least 16K colours was relatively common.
I am not even sure what you would use 640x200 with two colours.
