28 cpu's in 10 years... starting from the 386sx 10 Mhz, 25 Mhz turboed to a 1 Ghz Thunderbird now.
Although some I've used for less than a couple of weeks before I got rid of it.
Is this a lot for an AT'er? What about you guys?

386 25
486 50
P100, 120, 133, 166, 233, 233-mobile
K6 200
K6-2 266, 400, 500, 550
Celeron 466, 466, 600, 700
P-III 600, 667, 800, 800, 866-M
Duron 750, 750, 950
T-Bird 900, 1000, 1000

heh, just noticed I never owned a P-II... was into the Socket 7/K6-2's then.
Current ones I'm using in my sig/rigs
Looking for an XP next 😀
 
I've been through

P! 133
PIII 500, 650 @ 780 (current)

PIII 850 M

Not many but I don't upgrade often. Only do so when I need to........
 
Well, let me see here...

My first PC: P100
Cyrix PR166+
AMD K6-2 350
AMD K6-2 450
Celeron 400 @ 575
Celeron 533 @ 928
P3 700 @ 933
TBird 1.0 that wouldn't OC for crap
TBird 1.0 @ 1.4
Dual Celeron 366's
Dual TBird 1.2's
Dual XP 1800+'s

That's... 15 CPUS in under five years.

So I'm right on track.

Viper GTS
 
i had a 80286 XT 8 mhz
then a 486 DX 33 (built in math co! w00t!)
then a Pentium 200 mmx
P4 - 1.5 Ghz

One the side i now have a dual P3-933 (File server, Sql Server, Web Server)
and a piece of $hit 950 thunderbird. ( i will never ever buy amd again) (Cybergenie Server)

I swore pretty much the same thing after my first TBird experiences.

The Tiger MP was enough to make me try again, & I haven't regretted it for an instance. The problem is chipset support, not the CPUs themselves. Stick with good chipsets, & you'll be fine.

I've owned over 28 P3's probably that many Athlon's and Tbirds, a couple of P4's, lot of P2's, tons of Celeron's , a lot of Pentiums, a couple of K2's (Hated them), some Pyrex..Err Cyrix 686's ,a whole boatload of 486's and 386's too. I even owned an Apple IIe.

Those were all your personal systems?

:Q

Viper GTS
 
Hmm can I even remember em all...
motorola 68000 8? mhz (Commodore Amiga) Also had predecessors of Vic 20, +4, and 128D, don't know their processors though.
286-8, 12, 16
386sx-16, 20
386dx-25
Amd's 386 chip at 40mhz
486sx-25, 33
486dx-33
Amd's 486 chip at 100 and 120mhz
Cyrix 6x86-133, 166
Pentium 90,233
Amd K6-300
P2-233,300

P3-450@500, 600 mobile, 550@733, 700@933
Athlon XP 1600+@1900+

I think I've spent too much on cpus 😛
 


<< Those were all your personal systems? >>

Yeah though I ended up either selling them or trading them. I like building them and working on them more than I do having them. I just bought a Tualatin Celeron and Motherboard just to see how I high I can OC it. When I'm done I'll probably sell it at the For Sale Forum or trade it for a Hard Drive. I have one system that I won't sell (mostly because it's in a Huge Server Case) I usually upgrade that about 4 time a year.
 

The following CPU's have been around the house:

8088 @ 8 MHz (In a IBM PC that my father company was going to trash)

We had an Amstrad PC1512K @ our house but I don't remember which processor it had

286 @ 12,5 MHz
386SX @ 20 MHz
486DX2 @ 66 MHz
Pentium @ 166 MHz
Pentium MMX @ 233 MHz
Pentium II @ 333 MHz
Celeron @ 433 MHz
Pentium III @ 700 MHz
Pentium III @ 800 MHz
AMD Athlon Thunderbird @ 1.33 GHz

and that's it, 12 different PC's with 12 different CPU's

i agree with that the chip probably has no problems, its all the crap motherboard s out there, and as far as chipsets go everybody and their mother has their opinion on good athlon chipsets, if you pick one and it doesnt work they will come back and sayy ohhh that was a bad chipset you should have gotten this, or make ridicoulous claims like i dont know, my "same chipset" has been running for the last 3 years with no reboots.


My dually P3 has the best motherboard ive seen, the serverworks chipset is awsome. My p4 has a refrence intel board in it, it works but is nothing special.
 
From 9/96 to Now:

p120
p2 350
p3 650
C366@550 (I later gutted and sold the system)

Out of all those processors, only the 750 is here. Being used ATM in this system. Next up, celeron 1.1@1.463
 
In the order I got them

Cyrix PR200+
AMD K6 200
AMD K6-II 300
AMD K6-II 400
AMD K6-II 450
AMD K6-II 500
Intel 286 DX (not sure if the mhz I bought it because it was $20 and still works)
AMD K6-II 500
AMD Duron 800
PII 450 (it was given as part of a system build and I sold it for $250)
