Due to being in my 20s, it didn’t feel that fast at the time.
The wait from Falcon 3 to 4 felt like an eternity, even though it was only 7 years! ( insert Elder Scrolls fans crying for ES6 here)
From ISA to VESA to PCI to PCI Express, it was a quick pace for video hardware progress alone, and I remember buying another HDD every year pretty much.
It did to me, I think I had three or four PCs just in that one decade, just to keep up with everything.
LOL, I started with a 386DX25, moved to a 486DX2-50, then a P5-90, a P2-133, and a P3-450.
However, the last one I bought was the 486. All the others were upgrades to the same PC, new mobo, new PSUs, better CDROM, bigger/faster HDDs, and of course the mandatory Soundblaster cards. 
Started ISA and then moved to PCI. I gave up on discrete sound when the PCI Express ports replaced PCI on the mobos.
Hah, I started with an 8088, then a 486-66, then a PI 133, then a PII 266. What a rush.
386 25
P133
P166
God knows after that but I’ll always remember my p133
OMG I forgot about the 8088! It had just CGA (the 386 had VGA) and 1MB RAM with dual 5.25", no HD!
That’s what I played F-19 and Gunship on. The sound was awful and the performance abyssmal but I spent a LOT of time on it before we got the 386 which was mid-1991 maybe?
My first PC was a Tandy, and man, if a game used that sound, it was so much better than the PC speaker.
The Atari 400’s sound was nothing to listen to but pain.
Now my friend’s Amiga, OMG that thing sounded beautiful.
Good old EF2000 - hope the resurrected DID is cooking something equally good (eventhough they aren’t the same people AFAIK). But the scuttlebutt has it that Martin Kenwright himself is looking into getting back to making flight sims again.
