Intel Pentium 4 2,4ghz (dads)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3,2 ghz (own build)

 

[jsc]

wow, lots of history!!
Here goes

- Atari 2600 (ok, don't know about the CPU but it was the introduction to the tech world for me)

- Amastrad CPC 6128

- Sinclair ZX spectrum 128 (yea, the loaded version)

- 8086 by intel at 3,75Mhz

- 80286 @ 16Mhz

- 80386 but i don't remember speed

- 80486 @ 66 Mhz (intel). I had an NVidia riva 128 with 8Mb ram in SLI with Voodoo2 with 12Mb or Ram for a total of 20Mb video ram. The system ram was 12Mb only (I also OC the voodoo, lol!!)

- Amd k5 @166

- Amd k6 @ 266

- Pentium 3 @ 700 (slot)

- Amd Athlon @ 700 (slot)

- Athlon XP 1900+

- Athlon 64 3800 @ 2,4

- Intel 5200 @ 2.5

could be forgeting something...

My Rigs

intel 386sx IBM

Intel celeron 433mhz - My build

Intel P3 550 Coppermine upgrade to previous system

Intel P3 800 Coppermine new i815 board - My build

Intel Penium Dual Core E2160

Intel Core Duo T2050 lappy

 

[matt2k]

um

AMD k6 (second gen) @ 300mhz --> another amd 1500+ --> pentium D 805 @ 2.66 Ghz --> Core 2 duo E8400

Disregarding parents/school stuff. I remember when the ol k6 came out, was smoking.

You guys realize you're posting in an ancient history thread already, right?? There's laws against necrophilia!

Anyway, not to miss out on the fun, my PC history:

- 2 rocks (can count to 3 in binary)
- Fire (useful for digital communications using a wet blanket)
- P2 AM3 rig (can do all the above in one package, esp. when oc'd to 5 GHz with no cooler )

 

[terr281]

1a. Pentium 166, 16 MB EDO Ram (NEC Ready pre-built)
1b. Pentium 200 with MMX, 32 MB EDO Ram (Upgrade to NEC Ready)
2a. AMD Thunderbird ~1.2 Ghz, 512 MB of DDR Ram (Custom order PC from ABS Computers in their earlier years)
2b. AMD Thunderbird ~1.2 Ghz, 1 GB of DDR Ram (Upgrade to ABS Computer)
3a. Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz HT with 1 GB of DDR2 533 Ram (One of last "high-end" Compaq pre-built computers before HP pushed the name to budget status)
3b. Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz HT with 3 GB of DDR2 533 Ram (Upgrade to Compaq)
4. Pentium 3 800 Mhz with ? MB of ? ram (IBM Thinkcentre recertified business desktop, bought to be an "old Win 98 SE/DOS gaming machine")
5a. Core 2 Duo E6750, 2.66 Ghz <oc: 2.8 Ghz stock cooler>, 2 GB of DDR2 1066 running at 700 Mhz (Custom build by self)
5b. Core 2 Duo E6750, 2.66 Ghz <oc: 3.1 Ghz with aftermarket cooler>, 4 GB of DDR2 1066 running at 775 Mhz (Upgrade to custom build)

All of the computers are still capable of running. Present status:

1b. In closet, but will be connected to network in new house with number 4 for Master of Orion 2 network gaming. (MoO2 doesn't TCP/IP network under any OS after Win98 SE) It has a wonderful Voodoo 2 PCI 8MB add-on graphics card for 3D graphics.
2b. Given to my mother as an Internet/Home office machine. (Running with 768 MB of ram due to one chip burning out. Has a GeForce 4 MX graphics card.)
3b. At a friend's house as a spare computer.
4. See 1b, above.
5b. My current gaming PC, with 9800 GT / 8600 GT PhysX graphics.

My wife has a computer very similar to my current gaming machine that was custom built, and her previous computer (pre-built Dell with a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz with DDR ram) was recently dismantled for parts. However, she tells me stories of her first computer actually being a some kind of early PC clone that could only play 16 "preset" games.

Compared to the rest of my rig the CPU get's upgraded only when it starts bottle necking most of my other components.

 

[werxen]

celeron 450 mghz, barton 1.2, E8500.

 

[expatCanuck]

All computers homegrown, unless noted:

8088 (in a Zenith 157 or some such -- swapped for an 8088-2, I think, and so it began ...)

80386

amd k6 mmx (Toshiba laptop)
athlon 1GHz
athlon 2700 XP
athlon 64 3000+

e2180 Allendale dual core (replaced the 2700 XP which my boy was using, to allow him to play some modern games - Civilization IV, or some such)

... so now my boy's computer is faster than mine.

And we can't have that ... right now, the e5200 Wolfdale is looking very good from a price/performance perspective.
