What kind of home computer did you and your family use? How powerful was it? What kind of programs did you run?
My family's first computer was an Amiga 500. I used to play Capone and F/A-18 Interceptor on it. My parents never used it for work.
It had a 7MHz CPU, 512kb of RAM, and no hard disk. Every program had to be loaded from a floppy disk.
It ran on a proprietary operating system called AmigaOS, also loaded from a floppy disk each time.

2008-9 I think? Phenom II dual-core, onboard radeon HD 3300, 2GB DDR3 and 500GB HGST, my dad brought me to Fry's with a $300 budget
AM3 was the tits, upgraded to a phenom X6 and it ran AAA games fine up to 2021
I think the old hard drive is still working too
I think our family computer was an Athlon from '98 that barely managed to run XP

Phenom X6 was great for its time. I had one at a stable overclock of 4.5 or 4.7 GHz.
