Before today the fastest CPU I've owned was a AMD 850. And though I've OC'ed it a bit, I have never enjoyed the blazing speed of 1 gig +. ;)

I'm installing a 1700+ Tbred B. (sad again I know....but HEY at least I'll be hitting over a GIG!)

Who else here is still living in the stone age with a SUB 1 GIG computer?

right here p3 550 :( i need money

P3 650@866 here. I have the money but don't see any current upgrades justifiable. Maybe in May...

Duron 750 here. :Q

I don't do much besides run insurance quotes and ACT so I'm not really missing out.

Got an Athlon 2000+ at home

I still haven't. Mine is an 800 PIII. Had it for 2 1/2 years. Hoping to upgrade to something in the 2GHz range over the summer when I have money.

My fastest computer is a P3 550MHz.

I still use my P200MMX to surf the web a lot too.

Well it's nice to see I'm not the only one still under the 1 gig mark.

Tonight's the night.

I was going to do it this afternoon, but the guy that was supposed to work this afternoon never showed. :(

Well the surfing seems to show some improvement!

Time to fire up some MOHAA and see if I can tell a differance there. :)

Funny though I didn't unlock the muliplyer, I seem to have access to all I've tried so far.

It's @ 133 FSB and 11.5 right now.

After a short test run....I'll see what I can get out of this chip!!

SWEEEEET..


(though you people with unlimited $$$ and a 2+ gig board will NOT care I'm sure!! :p )

If I wasn't scammed by Shopss.com back in 2000 I would have received my P3/500 for $372 and would probably still be using it today.

w00t!!! Check out my uber-l33t JIUHB0303 chip! Too bad I have to wait till Tuesday for a new mobo (my dad wants my old board/case/cpu so I'm getting a K7S5A Pro--I would get an nForce2 but I'm too lazy to do an OS reinstall at this point!)
