how many of you had a socket A system?

[MagickMan]

Never had Socket A, went from a massively OCd S370 Tualatin to S939.

 

[Z80]

Still have 2 Socket A systems with Athlon XP 2+Ghz OC'd CPU's running strong. Typing this on one as we speak!

HAD?!? lol My POS pyooter I'm currently -and have been using for many, many years- is socket A. Years ago when I first built it -it was the bomb. Now it's a dessicated turd that wouldn't run Oblivion, Half Life 2, or a bazillion other games I own but cannot play.

The ancient POS computers in the public library are speed demons compared to this hunk of junk. But at least I have a pyooter, eh?

What sucks is that I own a bunch of new games that came out years ago and have since disappeared/unavailable. They're brand new in the shrink wrap waiting for me to come across some dough in this wonderful economy where jobs are plentiful and everyone is happy.

Cheers!

uhhh, HL2 ran just fine on my barton 3200+ and a 6800 AGP.
not the fastest frame rate in the world, but it ran decent enough.

folks have different definitions of fine.
course there was high resolution packs even early on
and without fsaa its just not good.
i just remember hd video raping that poor processor, and i think i kilt atleast two of the chips, they were pretty delicate, but i was ocing and stuff, but still.

My socket A Athlon 900 would only overclock to 950. And I really wanted a ghz. I was pissed.

I much preferred my PIII 550e, which I overclocked to I think 787 before installing windows, and never looked back.

Ha, still on mine right now: XP mobile 2400 Barton OC to about 2.5 GHz with a big old cooler and also a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro mod to XT.
Also with the Abit NF7-S v.2 mobo.
Be-atcccccch!

470 passmark score, vs my GF's T4400 at 1539
:/

i've had.. personally, a socket 478, socket A, socket 939, socket am2, LGA 775, and am3.

edit: and a via EPIA cpu on board... not sure what that is. and an atom.

 

[middlehead]

personally, i've had 2 and still have one as a backup system.

^-

 

[IndyColtsFan]

IIRC, I had 6 socket A systems. I had a couple of the ECS K7S5A boards, an Abit KX333-R, an Abit NF7-S, and a couple of Biostar (IIRC) microATX boards. I've sold all of them except the 2 Abit boards, and I imagine I'll sell those on eBay pretty soon.

 

[n7]

I did, back in the 2500+ days.

 

[DyslexicHobo]

I built my first computer in 8th grade with a S939. Athlon 3500+ 2.2ghz with an X800XT gfx card. That thing was a beast back in the day. Before that, I had some Dell with who knows what in it.

 

[ahenkel]

I just threw the last of my socket A gear on Ebay.
