well i looked, they seem ok. 55 dollars for a amd 2000. doesnt have much specific specs, probably some cheapo pally (i think they reach 2000 speeds). or shipping will be like 5 bucks.

newegg is 65 with free ship
 
Seems like a decent deal, but nothing stellar. Is that oem or retail?

BTW this thread made my night, lol I really needed that. Don't take that the wrong way.

That might be a good price for that one, but I think for that $$, I'd rather get a pair of those uber overclocking 1700+ T-Bred B chips...you'd still be a few bucks ahead, which would get you started towards a nice MSI K7D Master-L.... :D
 
You may be better off getting a 2500+ Barton if you are going to overclock. I hear they are pretty good oc'ers.

oh and also i hvae an "AMD" CPU selling for 25 bux you want it??

i486 wunderchip?? I've got a couple too... Also tucked away, I've got a 8088 with the AMD logo on it. Don't know if it's good (probably not, and don't care to test it)... Neat piece of 'puting history. ;)

The oldest I have is a Intel i66. I assume it is a 486 though I dont know for sure

Probably a i486 66MHz. I've got (literally) a bag of old i486's...several of the 33MHz flavor, 50's, 66's, SX, DX, etc...I've got a pair of AMD i486'ers, too.

I shaved all the pins off one of the intel 66's and glued it to the side of my toolbox at work...LOL.

That 8088 is kinda neat though...this dates to when the CPU's looked basically like todays BIOS chips, just a little bit longer.

the guy down the street wanted me to do some cleaning up on his puter...he said it was only a few years old. Wanted some games for the grandkids...I put chips challenge, jezzball, etc etc on there for them heres the specs:

486 25mhz
8megs edo ram
231 meg HD
1x cdrom (each cd went into a case...then into cd-rom)
some ancient soundcard with rca outputs
trident tseng 4000 with 512k ram

no math coprocessor....he had win 3.1 on there...i threw on win 95, i was suprised at how fast it ran windows 95...seemed like boot up time wasnt that bad at all.

It did experience some slowdown in jezzball though...hehe

Just to make this a completely non useless post...for a 2600+ thats a good deal....IF you are not going to overclock.

otherwise 1700+ or 2100+ tbred b is the way to go

I had one like that , a guy at work was having problem's with his home pc. " I bought it new at Office Max , couldn't have been more than 2 or 3 years ago. " It was a p133 !!!

What is it about pc's that makes people lose their ability to tell time ?
