What is your CPU History

[Somniferum]

AppleIIc (WDC65C02) -> 486SX-25 -> Pentium 200MMX -> P2 350@392 (first overclock!) -> Celeron 500 -> Celeron 800 -> P4 2Ghz -> AMD64 3500+ -> X2 3800+

Everything since the P2 has been overclocked, but I don't remember all the frequencies. Thank god we don't have to move jumpers around anymore.

Next upgrade will probably be a Quad-core once they get cheap and necessary.

386SX 33 (first ever PC, family PC) -> 486 66 (whole computer replaced under warranty) -> Pentium 100 (second replacement, still runs) -> Celeron 333 (first PC I bought for myself, prebuilt emachines) -> AMD Duron 600 (upgrade to the prev machine) -> Duron 800 -> Duron 1ghz -> AXP 1500+ -> AXP 1800+ TBred -> AXP 2500 Barton (333 FSB, in my HTPC currently) -> Sempron 2200 TBred (mobo died on the AXP 2500 and I just bought a combo for $50 with the sempron) -> AMD A64 3500+ (OEM gear from a compaq PC) -> Intel C2D e6300 @ 2.8ghz and this is where I stand for now.

I still have almost all of these CPUs. The D600 was sold long ago, I made it hit over 900mhz on air by killing the L2 cache. It did 800 on air easy. My AXP's were pretty good OCers too, I pulled 1.8ghz out of the 1800, and 2.2 out of the 2500+, but when that mobo set itself on fire (the PSU to mobo connector was on fire and the mosfets were melted) I stopped OCing till I got my c2d.

Yes, I remember the days when Duvie and Thugs ruled the cpu/overclocking forum... ah, those were the days...

Damn straight they were I would like to have back all the money I spent on "treasure hunts" inspired by their post though.

I started with a IBM 8088 I think, switched to Amiga 500 w/ Motorola 68000, then Amiga 2000 up until about 6-9 months after the pentium appeared, and the Amiga software available locally really started to dry up. Since then who knows, too many to remember.

i's Intel 8088 not 8080, sorry

Hello,

My modest history :



6502 - 2Mhz ? - Atari 600XL.
Z80 - 4,77Mhz - MSX2.
68000 - 8Mhz - Amiga 600.
Intel 486dx - 66Mhz - PC
Cyrix 686 - 166 Mhz
Intel Pentium mmx - 233Mhz
AMD athlon thunderbird - 850Mhz
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ Palomino - 1500Mhz
AMD Athlon XP Barton 2800+ - 2200Mhz
AMD A10 -6700 ,4C - 3700MHz

At the moment i am saving for a improved version of barcelona/phenom based system or a nehalem based system.
1 Of those will be next in line.

EDIT : added to the list.
