I'm getting old.

I never really considered the Commodore 64. I have fond memories of Oregon Trail in Grade School on that machine.

Learned on
TRS-80
worked on a 286
then a 386

Bought a
AMD386-DX40
Intel 486-66
Intel P2-266
Intel P3-866
Intel P4- 2.8 GHz
Intel Core 2 2.66 GHz

About to buy a Q9550 - if I can find a place that actually has one in stock


I am old

[Extelleron]

Pretty short history for me.

Intel Pentium II 400MHz -> Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz (Northwood) -> AMD Opteron 144 -> AMD X2 3600+ 65nm

planing on Intel Core 2 Q9550...or may just wait for Nehalem

 

[nanaki333]

pentium 75, pentium 133, k62 333? (can't remember), celeron 500, duron 750, athlon 1.0, athlon tb 1.4, athlon xp 1700, athlon xp 2400, athlon xp 2800, athlon64 x2 3800, athlon64 x2 4200, athlon64 am2 x2 5200, intel core2duo e6700, athlon core2quad q6600, athlon core2quad q9550.

those were pretty much my steps, i also have other ones. am2 4200, am2 5600, phenom 9600, another q6600, q9450

 

[Roy2001]

Celeron 366 => P2 450 => Athlon TB 1.4Ghz => E6400 => Q6600 => QX9650

If you want my honest advice. The Q9550 will be expensive and you'll be very limited with that multi even.

If you can save 200-250 dollars more, you can pick up a QX9650 which is a much better chip if your overclocking. Otherwise step down to the Q9450 or X3350. Thats a much better financial step if your add in overclocking.

If you dont overclock at all, then nevermind.

 

[Zenoth]

Bought by my father for himself, but I used it a lot:

486DX33

And then much later, owned by me, and for me:

VIA C3 733
Intel P4 2.4C
AMD 64 3500+
AMD 64 X2 4400+
Intel C2D 8400

 

[noxiousCaitSith]

intel x3350....the end. hehe. i don't even have it yet. it should be here next week.

 

[Nathelion]

486 -> PII or PIII (never found out which, I was like 14, give me a break) -> some early P4 (blech) -> P4 Prescott 3 GHz -> ANOTHER P4 Prescott 3 GHz (I'm just a sucker for punishment, I guess. The first one broke in an... experiment) -> S939 Opteron 165 -> The bountiful future

 

[Pantlegz]

386 -> 486 -> PI 100 -> PIII 500 -> XP 1600+(?) -> AMD64 3200+ -> AMD64 6000+ -> E8400 -> soon to be Q9x50

I might have had a 286(?) or whatever before 386 I was like 10 so I don't f'ing remember. I know it was slow as hell and couldn't run doom

Started with the Z80 and an old Timex Sinclair homebuilt (Radio Shack Kit), and went from there... Good times...

[Ika]

Intel 386 -> Intel Pentium I @ 166mhz -> Intel P4 Northwood @ 1.8ghz -> E6420 @ 3.2ghz.

Nice big jump in the middle

 

[Tempered81]

i enjoy seeing the people with predominant amd-sided or intel-sided buying trends, or sticking to one brand over the entire life of their pc use; versus the ones who've obviously bought the price/performance overclockers from either camp.

Err, well I BUILT many computers for many people over the years. Mainly my close family (1 per person in recent years). But I PERSONALLY owned the following:

-486 of unknown type @ 22 / 33mhz (depending on turbo) with 1MB of ram. I later upgraded to 9MB of ram and a 60MB hard drive. I think. Back in ye olde DOS days.
-unrecalled computers
-PIII 550 mhz
-AthlonXP barton 2500+ @ 1833mhz
-AthlonX2 windsor 3800+ F2 @ 2ghz
-Intel E8400 wolfdale C0 @ 3ghz

 

[LostPassword]

pentium 100mhz = (packard bell, ps died)
celeron 400mhz = (e-machines, ps died)
athlon t-bird 850 mhz = (built myself, msi mobo died and took cpu with it)
duron 850 mhz = (to replace athlon 850)
xp 2000+ = (upgrade for the duron, gave to brother)
p4 1.6a@2.1ghz = (built myself, retired it into the closet after 5-6 years)
e4500 @ 3ghz (current rig) , i'm still using the packard bell keyboard from the p100. lol.

basically learned my stuff from upgrading and trying to fix all my dead rigs.
