Your CPU Progression?

[Zarathustra[H]]

I thought this might be fun, to see how people have progressed with their rigs over time.

I was just thinking about mine, and found it difficult to remember, but here it goes from my best recollection:


It all starts when I was allowed to use my parents old XT computer for educational games at age 8...

1988: 8088 (I forget the clock rate)
1991: 286 8Mhz (OC:ed to 12MHz, first computer I took apart and put back together at age 12)
1994: 486sx 25mhz (OC:ed to 50Mhz, This was my first PC build, For OC all that was needed was the addition of an HSF which it did not have stock)
1995: Pentium 90Mhz (OC:ed to 120Mhz)
1997: Pentium MMX 200mhz (would not OC at all)
2000: AMD Duron 600mhz (OC:ed to 800Mhz)
2001: AMD Athlon 1.2Ghz (Would not OC at all, this thing ran HOT)
2001: AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz
2001: AMD Athlon 1.2Ghz (same CPU as above after crushing the 1.4 (and it's replacement, my second 1.4) with an asetek vapochill
2001: AMD Duron 600mhz (OC:ed to 800mhz) After I destroyed the 1.2 with the vapochill and got fed up and sold it)
2002: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (No OC. I had gotten tired of loud fans, and it was fast enough)
2004: AMD Athlon64 3000+ (socket 754) (OC:ed from 2Ghz to 2.4Ghz)
2009: Intel Core i7-920 (Was able to hit 3.8ghz stable air cooled with built in cooler in Shuttle SX58H7, but it was LOUD, so I'm running stock until I need more speed.)


Whats your complete history?

We've already got a CPU progression thread. In fact the title is almost exactly the same as yours.

My bad. I'll post there instead...

I do not. I'd ping Lethal or Majordomo to delete the thread. You can however lock your own threads I believe.
