Your CPU progression

IBM 386DX 16 MHz (1995 - 97)
Intel Pentium II 266 MHz (1997 - 2000)
Athlon Thunderbird 1200 MHz (2000 - 2001)
Athlon XP 1800+ oc'd to 2.8 GHz (2001 - 2006)
Intel E6400 2.13 GHz (2006 - 2008)
Intel E8500 3.16 GHz (2008 - 2009)
Intel Q6600 2.43 GHz (2009)
Intel Q9550 2.83 GHz @ 3.5 GHz (current as of 5/01/2010)
 
386 With Mathematical Coprocessor 40 MHz (first computer, still have it, has 8mb ram which made it a beast!)
Pentium 133 MHz
Pentium II 400 MHz
Pentium III 667 MHz @ 993 MHz (got this for free, had a stock AMD fan attached to the P3 heatsink!)
Pentium IV 2.4c (2.4 GHz) (used this one the longest, about 7 years)
Core i7 965 3.2 GHz @ 3.4 GHz (current desktop)
Core i3 530 2.93 GHz (current HTPC)
 
I had the privilege of building a lot of older boxes but MY first was a 386....and boy was it SLOW.

386 SX 16MHz
486 DX2 66MHz
Cyrix 120
Cyrix PR133
Cyrix PR166
AMD K6 300MHz
AMD K62 350MHz
Celeron 300MHz (@450)
Pentium 2 400MHz
Pentium 2 450MHz
AMD K7(athlon) 650MHz
AMD Athlon 900MHz
AMD Athlon 1.0GHz
AMD Athlon 1.2GHz
AMD Athlon 1.4GHz
AMD Athlon XP 1600
AMD Athlon XP 2000
Pentium 3 1.0GHz
Pentium 4 1.8GHz
Pentium 4 2.4GHz (@3.0 rock solid and still ticking)
Pentium 4 3.4GHz (couldn't get this pos to overclock)
Core2Duo E8500 (@3.8 running cool at stock voltage. I bet I could get more out of it if I was willing to spend the time...but alas I'm lazy)
 
Zilog Z80 1.77 MHz
65C02 1.023 MHz
486 DX2 66Mhz

Blur of many years, many Pentiums.. I can't even pretend to remember them. I do remember my first SMP excursion, the famed Abit BP6 with dual Celerons OC'd to 450 or 500mhz.

Q9550 @ 4Ghz (Current)
 
486 DX2 66
Pentium 2 450MHZ
Athlon K7 2500
Pentium 4 2.6
Pentium 4 3.0
Core 2 Duo 8400
i7 920

Alot of the builds were Fry's combo deals. Sometimes I just got the itch to buy and build a new system. Boy the list goes back a few years.
 
486 DX2 66 > P1 - 133 > P2 - 350 > P3-750 > Athlon XP 1700+ > C2D e600 > C2Q 9650.
 
mine, from as far as I can remember

some Intel P2?? (don't remember, too young :p)
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.1GHz

Apart from my 1st machine all home builds
 
Whatever was in the old IBMs

There is help available, You have taken the first step, which is admitting you have a problem;)

seriously, wow, beyond impressive:eek:
 
"family" PCs:
Pentium 486DX
Pentium 2 400MHz
Athlon XP 1900+

personal:
Pentium 4 2.4GHz-C

intel p4 3.46ghz extreme
amd 64x2
intel core2duo 2.66ghz


^^ to list a few minus servers and dev boxes
 
1 - First Pc I built for myself had a 70 Mhz Pentium
2 - 90 MHz Pentium
3 - 133mmx
4 - 166mmx
5 - 200mmx
--skipped the PII's.... something bugged me about having a nintendo cartridge for a cpu--
6 - started Overclocking with the celeron 300a (a 300MHz chip OC'd up to 450MHz was big back then)
7 - Switched camps with the Duron 600 and the pencil mod (OC'd to 900MHz)
8 - 1GHZ Thunderbird
9 - Atlon XP 2100 (oc'd to 2GHz even)
10 - Jumped back to intel with the E2180 (2.0 GHz chip OC'd to 3.2 GHz)
11 - Current Chip - E6850 Core 2 Duo (3.0 GHz chip OC'd to 3.8 GHz)

Those have been just my rigs. I've built a pile of PC's for family and friends along the way that I didnt bother to list.

What can I say, I love computer hardware. :cool:
 
ColecoVision ADAM-Whatever was in that.. z-80 I think
286
386
several AMD clones
486DX2
P90
P133
P200MMX
PIII 400
Tbird 800 slot
Tbird 1400+ socket A
Opteron 165
i5-750

Those where all my personal boxes. Mostly hand downs from my father when he would upgrade. The PIII 400 was the first PC I bought for my self. I think if i ever heard the whirrr of the ADAM's dual tape deck again I would fly into an uncontrollable fit of rage.:D

Intel Core i7 930 My Build
 
Well since the days ive been interested in computers

P3 600mhz -> x2 in a server board -> opty 165 -> i7 920
 
I've since purchased an Phenom II. Now my list looks like this:
