processors over the years

[uberjaspaz]

I got some too!

Lets see...
the first I have was ole Mac... 25Mhrz... it ran Escape Velocity at 30 Frames! I that thing was great!
Next was a 386 @ 33mhz.
Then a Apple Qudra @ 40mhrz
Then a 386 @ 66
Then a 486 @ 66
Then a Mac PowerPC @ 80 mhrz
Then a Pentium 1 @ 90
Next was a Pentium 1 @ 200 or so mhrz (dont remember off the top of my head...)
Then a Pentium 2 @ 233
Then a Pentium 2 @ 350
A AMD Duron @ 500
Then a Pentium 3 @ 500
Then a Apple G4 Dual @ 500 (not sure when i got this... )
Then a Pentium 3 @ 700
Then a Pentium 3 @ 800
Then a Pentium 3 @ 1ghrz
Then Dual Pentium 3 @ 1ghrz
Then a Pentium 4A @ 1.7 ghrz
Then a Pentium 4A @ 2.0 ghrz
Then a Athlon XP 2200+
Then a Pentium 4B @ 2.4 ghrz
Then a Pentium 4B @ 2.53 ghrz
Then a Pentium 4B @ 2.66 ghrz
Then a Pentium 4B @ 2.8 ghrz
Then a Pentium 4C @ 2.8 ghrz
Then a Pentium 4C @ 3.0 ghrz
Then a Pentium 4C @ 3.2 ghrz

yes a quiet a bit... tried em all and benched em all, towards the end I stated upgrading like every 3 months...

I was pretty ****ed when my first 486 wouldn't run Rebel Assult because it didn't have 8 mb of ram and the extra 4 mb was like $175.

Intel 486SX 33Mhz...RIP

Intel Celeron 466 Mhz/ ran stock, it was a compaq /hang head in shame lost in dremel accident (Don't RIP)

AMD K6-2 500 ran at 550Mhz....traded to a friend; still running

AMD Athlon Thunderbird 800Mhz ran at 950Mhz traded for laptop; who knows

AMD Duron 900Mhz ran stock...HP laptop sold for $800; barely running

AMD Athlon 2200+ Tbred A core ran stock because it was HOT!!! Gave to Mom

AMD Athlon 2400+ ran at 2.2GHz, gave it to a friend

Intel Pentium 4 2.53GHz running stock in my Dell Inspiron Laptop...running good doing what I need her to do

The first PC I remember using was the 386 8/16mhz my parents bought...new. $2k or something. I remeber playing Red Baron in 8mhz against my bro and literally going at turbo speeds in turbo mode.

486dx 100 (not sure what it was, since there aren't many 486's over 66 & 75) - could FINALLY play Master of Orion! Over 1mb memory now to play it with (actually, 4)!

166 Pentium Pro (I remember it as 160 tho?) - Master of Orion was blazing fast now

AMD K6-2 350, the first PC I ever owned, 'sold' to my parents so I could use some cash to get a better board, a voodoo3, and the next cpu down...

AMD K6-2 450 - lasted a while

AMD 750 slot-a TBird, got for $25, rest went to my gf2 ti I used till last week; note things before this cpu are a bit fuzzy

two 1.2ghz Durons, I won them from the Overclockers.com forum Folding@Home contest...never got the mpeg2 decoder card, but thanks for the 2nd chipped cpu (never tested) running my dad's/family backup PC now. Up till then, the only thing I'd won was the D.A.R.E. bear...lol

1700+ TBred-B - 306-311 week or so, one of the J-code tbreds (bought right before the newegg 1700+ 'craze' price increase, bought@$47, first newegg purchase), bought shortly after winning the duron and the perfect HSF for this cpu at the time: Alpha PAL8045 w/3500RPM Sunon (thanks for the contest, NASsoccer)

My first computer was a 400 k6-2 that someone was throwing away. I was 20 at the time . All that it needed was a video card. I still have it, actually. I pull it out of my closet when I have issues with my other pcs.

I upgraded to a 700 duron about a year later. I suffered through using that computer for about 2 years. I finally killed the motherboard and replaced it with a k7s5a pro. I still use that as my secondary.

The one I use now is a tbred 2000+ on a dfi ultra infinity.

Growing up I only had two uses for computers...gaming and writing reports. I could do the reports at school and I gamed at friend's houses. I was never really interested in computers even after I got my first one. It was when the motherboard on my duron blew up that I got sucked in. Ever since that day I've been constantly upgrading or tweaking something .

Well some of these weren't mine (parents) but what I've used over the years, not nearly as much as some of you guys.

Pentium 1.. not sure what clock speed.
Pentium 2 Pretty sure 233 mhz
Celeron 533
Celeron 800
Celeron 1.6 ghz (laptop)
Celeron 1.8
and then whats in my sign, P4 2.8C

Yea everyone in my family really just thought for example a 1.8ghz celeron was the same as a 1.8ghz pentium, and couldn't understand that architecture and pipe line length matters. But the 2.8C was really the first one that it was completely my choice on what to get.
