What is your oldest working cpu

[BD231]

Pentium III 733, SDRAM and onboard video.

 

[halley]

had a s754 venice lying around, gave it away to my friend.

at the moment it would be the turion in my laptop 🙂

I'm working with an AMD 4800, a Turion (~1.7ghz) in a Dell laptop and an Intel Pentium (~1.9ghz) in an IBM Thinkpad. I guess the 4800 is probably the oldest. It has been running 24/7 for more than 2 years. Got abused the most.

some 600mhz P3, once it opens firefox in Ubuntu it works pretty damn well, youtube audio works fine but the video is choppy ;O

Whatever is powering my Commodore 64 🙂

Whatever is powering my Commodore 64 🙂

That would be a MOS 6510 operating at a screaming 1.02 mhz if you have the NTSC version (the PAL version was actually a tad slower).

serial (one-bit) processor chipset made by Mostek:

Hmm, looks like you win there sir.

Still got an Athlon 700/Radeon 64mb combo that is still used when friends come over to play AOE 2 and Quake 3...... It still does those just fine running 1024x786. Hell, it even runs UT 2K3 at 800x600 resonably well.

Well my oldest cpu in current everday use is my q6600 but since it runs 3.8 ghz is aslo my fastest. I recently retired amd 64 3800 single core old file server/media server retires with 56,000 hrs of use still works. just not in current daily use. I aslo run web server with 2 single core 2.4 ghz xeon pentium 4 era cpu.

I've got 2x Pentium Pro 1MB (the predecessor to the Pentium II) sitting at my desk at work, but I ripped the core out of the one. I imagine the other still works, but I no longer have the mobo for it. People always ask me what it is.

Running a P3 800mhz with an ATI 9600 on a HT pc lol.. using the DVI output.. yes I upgraded the video card from a GF2 GTS which held me good from 2000 to 2005.

 

[ljtatej]

I have a Celery 300a that still runs at 450mhz on a Abit BH6 with a 200 watt power supply

 

[ocsid80]

AMD Athlon 64 3700+

 

[Vampirrella]

amd 1.2ghz thunderbird in desktop
dell 1.0 ghz PIII laptop

 

[MagickMan]

In my sig. Still works, just like my 25 year old Sony. They don't make them like they used to......

Wow, the old 5V P60 (yeah, 5V). Back when I was working at Sears selling PCs I watched one these things ignite and char the inside of the case. It was a Packard Bell, so it wasn't a huge loss.

 

[taltamir]

a have lots of older fully functional parts that I am not running because I have no use for them.
the oldest that i am actively using is an Athlon64 X2 @2ghz... an energy efficient model. I use it for my fileserver

 

[OVerLoRDI]

The only two machines I ever had that weren't socketed was a 386SX and a 486SLC. I do vaguely remember some Intel 486SX chips also being QFP-style soldered on chips too, but none I owned.

I had an 800mhz Duron that was solder straight on to the board. Don't know where I got it from.

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Pentium1@233 Mhz in an old Compaq Armada laptop. It thinks it's 1980. 😉

 

[Golgatha]

I have a Pentium 4 3.06Ghz running Win2k and still gets occasional usage as a retro gaming computer.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Currently in use:

Intel Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz Northwood: JAN 2002 (oldest)
Intel Pentium M 1.5 Ghz Dothan: JUN 2004
AMD Sempron 64 2800+ 1.6Ghz Palermo: FEB 2005
AMD Opteron 170 2.0Ghz Denmark: JUN 2006
Intel Core2Quad Q9550 2.83Ghz Yorkfield: JUN 2009 (newest)

 

[kalrith]

P3 500 MHz. Been running 24/7 since it was bought new and still going strong 🙂

 

[Atreus21]

My brother is using my previous machine, which is running an old FX-60, and my little sister is using the predecessor to that machine, which is running an even older Athlon XP 3200+.

 

[SniperSlap]

PIII 1GHz on a CUV-4X motherboard. Still chugging away as a home server.

I loved this system the day I got it and it's still pretty decent. I always knew the Pentium 3 CPUs were little miracles.
After all, Intel went back to them for inspiration on the Cores did they not? 😉
