Some early 80's Motorola CPU based computer
286 (original IBM AT)
AMD 386DX-40
i486DX-33 (picked up a DX2-66 in time though when cheap enough to max out a computer)
DX4-100
AMD (486 class) 5x86-133
P133 (picked up a P75, P120, Cyrix 6x86 PR-200, MII PR300 in time for next to nothing)
P200
IDT C6 - 225 (picked it up for a motherboard that couldn't do dual CPU voltage but could do the MHz)
K6-2 333
PII-233 (got chip 2nd hand and bought a new mobo to upgrade to P3 - yep went from K6 to PII, and the P2 was faster even though it had less MHz)
PII-400 (2nd hand so sweet price, 100MHz FSB speed helped)
PIII-600

Choralone · May 22, 2001

Here's my (relatively short) CPU history.

Intel 486 DX2 66mhz o/c 80mhz
AMD 5x86 133mhz u/c to 120mhz (Darn board wouldn't recognize 4X multiplier!)
AMD K5 75mhz o/c 90mhz (It was DIRT cheap at the time)
AMD K6 233mhz u/c 225mhz (For the additional FSB speed)
Intel Celeron 300A o/c 450mhz (Still in use!) 🙂
Intel Celeron 566 o/c 875mhz (In my primary machine)

I really need to get my hands on an AXIA T-bird and let it fly!!!

Swanny · May 22, 2001

There was a big thread like this a while back in the CPU forum. But anyway, my computer has only had 2 processors.
K6-2 450
K7-5 800@840 (I ordered a GFD, so it should be a little faster soon)
It's about time to upgrade my Athlon, but I don't have the money so it will have to wait🙁

Train · May 22, 2001

Commodore 64 (i think it was like 1.8 Mhz?)
Amiga 1000 (8 Mhz i believe)
Cyrix 286 (no idea how fast it was)

P3 700
P3 1000

Ken g6 · May 22, 2001

Too old to assimilate:
6502 (I think, Commodore 16; it was also on the C64, and it was 1 MHz.)
8502 (Commodore 128, 1 or 2 MHz)
Saturn (HP32SII, HP42S, HP48SX: 2 MHz, HP48G+, 3.7 MHz)
8088 (Tandy 1000, 8 MHz)
486/25,50 MHz (with Win 3.1 🙁)

Once assimilated:
486/50 @ 8 MHz 🙁 (bad MOBO)
486/25,66,100 MHz

Currently:
Cyrix 6x86@120 MHz
PII/400 MHz

Also currently assimilated:
Athlon 800 MHz
PIII 1 GHz

commodore 64 (.98mhz ahem)
up to
athlon 1 gig right now.

TBird 1200 at 1.38 right now 🙂

bot2600 · May 22, 2001

ooh ooh talk about not having a CPU, I had a Timex Sinclair at some point. It was actually pretty cool for an oversized microwave keypad.

AppleTalking · May 22, 2001

Hmmm, as long as we're playing:

For personal use:
Motorola 68030 16MHz. (Macintosh Classic II)
Motorola 68030 33MHz. (Macintosh Performa 550)
PowerPC G3 233MHz. (oc'ed to 300). Talk about a jump . . . 🙂

For work/business use:
Pentium 60MHz. (oc'ed to 66)
Pentium 90MHz.
Pentium 133MHz.
Pentium 133MHz. MMX (laptop)
Cyrix 6x86 MII 200MHz.
Celeron 366MHz.
Celeron 400MHz. (oc'ed to 450)
Pentium II 400MHz. (laptop)
Duron 750MHz. (oc'ed to 900)

I hope to get my first Windows PC for personal use in another month or so. Going to be an Athlon 1.2GHz. I think.

I'm searching for a new beast to build now... <EVIL GRIN>

JimMc · May 22, 2001

I got nostalgic for my TI-99 4A, so I tried a search and there are still guys out there playing with those thigs, get this quote:

<<The 99/4A console is fairly limited in what it can do, but with a Peripheral Expansion Box (PE Box or PEB for short), you can easily add a serial/parallel interface, a floppy disk controller, and 32K of memory expansion. This is probably the minimum you want if you plan on making serious use of your 99/4A.

Please note the term "serious use" 😀. Even with the extra 32k of RAM, I gotta figure it will suck in SETI, wonder what kind of of keyrates it would pull in RC5? 😛 😉

toft-dk · May 22, 2001

First computer many years ago was:

Sinclair ZX81 16 K ram B/W
Sinclair Spectrum 48 K ram W/colours
Commodore 64 64 K ram

Long Pause

Pentium 133 MHZ 32 MB ram
Pentium 166 MHZ MMX 64 MB ram
Pentium 200 MHZ MMX 64 MB ram
Pentium II 300 MHZ 64 MB ram

And finally my machines right now.

Athlon "classic" 600 @ 650 MHZ 128 MB ram
Athlon "classic" 700 @ 721 MHZ 128 MB ram
