What is your CPU History

[Dravic]

486dx -> First overclock k6-2 300(or 350)@500 => k2-500@550(ewww) -> durpn650@900 -> tbird ???@1.2 -> missing one i think.. -> xp 3200+ @2.4ghz -> X2 3800+ @2.6ghz -> X2 4400+ @ 2.9gz


current setup

gaming
X2 4400+ @ 2.9

VM workstation
2x opteron 275 - 4 core 3GB ram

secondary gamer (now kids PC)
3200+ moving to my old X2 3800+ @2.6


If AMD doesnt get their act together this will be the first time when i'm ready to swap out the guts(MB/RAM/CPU) that Intel will be the better option all around.

My computer history is too long to list. However my first computer was a packard bell 386DX and it ran $3500 back in the day.

 

[MitchellF]

AMD Duron 850 @ 850mhz (Current, had for a fair while now)

 

[Bob76]

Z80A -> Motorola 68000 (Amiga 500) -> Motorola 68EC020 (Amiga 1200) -> Intel 386SX -> Intel Pentium 100 -> Intel Pentium MMX 166 -> AMD Athlon XP 1600+ -> AMD Athlon64 X2 5600+

I still use the last two.

Just a note

This was interesting for like the first 5 posts..

after that, I could really give a crap haha

I don't even see the point anymore in these useless posts..

Are any of you actually going like

"OH, yeah, cool, I had that card too"

or more like

lets post mine, and click last page, woot

[vexingv]

these are the systems i've used over the years in order of CPU power:

1. 1989ish?: IBM 286 (1st family PC mainly bought for my brother, was still operational but tossed out a few years ago)
   
   2001: IBM 486 (never really used as an uncle unloaded it on us when he moved; it's boxed away somewhere)
   
   2006 - present: Pentium Pro 266 (i actually found this in my building's compactor room and brought it up. i didn't know how old or what the specs were when i took it up, but i figured i'd try to make use of it as a linux toy/box. only plugged it in once to check out the specs and saw that the previous owner didn't even bother to format his hard drive.)
   
   1999 - 2001: P3 450 mhz (chip is boxed somewhere. my first modern PC as i had used the 286 for menial school reports up until 1999. i never knew why/how, but the system died in 2001, which prompted me to use my brother's P3 700 mhz system for awhile before i got into building my own DIY systems)
   
   2000 - present: P3 700 mhz (originally my brother's pc until mine died. was in use until 2007 and is currently sitting unplugged at my parents)
   
   2002 - present: Duron 1 ghz (my first DIY build that was later used by my brother until the mobo died due to leaky caps. i replaced the mobo in 2007 and my parents now use it.)
   
   2003 - present: AthlonXP 1700+ (currently used as a headless winxp server w/ smb shares)
   
   2004 - present: G4 PowerPC 1.33 ghz (used daily, in fact typing on it right now)
   
   2006 - 2007: AMD64 3500+ (chip is boxed away, got this as part of a newegg cpu/mobo combo for $99)
   
   2007 - current: s939 X2 4200+; got one of the few remaining s939 X2 this past fall when they were on sale at newegg.

[bryanW1995]

wtf? why would you go from an e6850 to an x2 6400+? also, the phenom 9500 to e6600 kinda baffles...

[cubsftw]

Desktop CPU: P133 (An HP Pavilion) -> Celeron 466 (Another HP Pavilion, worst PC I've owned) -> P3 1000 (Dell Dimension) -> P3 1.2 Tualatin -> Core Duo (Mac Mini) -> Core 2 Duo E6600
Completely skipped Netburst (probably a better person because of it) and the K8 generation (just didn't have the money to get a new system during that period)
Notebook CPU: P3 1.13 -> Core Duo (Thinkpad T60) -> Core 2 Duo (Latitude D620)

Desktop GPU: S3 Trio (HP Pavilion) -> ATI Rage 3D 8MB (2nd HP Pavilion) -> ATI Rage 128 Pro 16MB (Dell Dimension) -> ATI Radeon 8500LE -> XFX GeForce 7600GS 256MB
