What is your oldest working cpu

[aigomorla]

Im bored at work.

Curious to see what the oldest tech people are running.

For me its my Sammy's.

Platform release in march 2006.
(yes its hard to believe i would be using old tech.)

I have 2 of those guys on a DP board and dont see anything yet still in the future that would replace them.

 

[Shmee]

a pentium 4 @3.4 GHz, prescott w/HT. Not currently running though.

 

[aigomorla]

Not currently running though.

thats cheating..

LOL.. i said running. i have a few T-birds in my box of useless keychain materials.

 

[Shmee]

in that case it would be my Q6600 G0 @ 3.5 on an EVGA 780i FTW

Still a pretty fast quad. I use this as a second computer when a friend comes over.

 

[Erniedagoodfela]

An original core duo @1.6 GHZ

 

[fluffmonster]

Barton 3200+ currently running my file server, the cpu from my first build ever. Unfortunately, the board its in won't underclock well so its more powerhungry than is probably necessary for a file server.

 

[tokie]

Athlon T-Bird 1400mhz, but not used that much.

Athlon 64 3200+ (Clawhammer) gets use everyday.

I have a 100MHz AMD 486 floating around here somewhere, not sure I have a motherboard for it anymore. I had a bunch of 286s but tossed them a couple years ago.

My oldest running machine is here, an AthlonXP 3200+. This box pretty much has run 24/7 since mid 2004.

 

[Cogman]

I have an old Pentium II 233 MHz that still runs, I don't use it for anything however.

 

[konakona]

had a s754 venice lying around, gave it away to my friend.

at the moment it would be the turion in my laptop

 

[heyheybooboo]

K6 333MHz Notebook

We use it primarily for inventory. It's not really 'mobile' anymore because we are too cheap to buy a new battery - LOL. It's mobile up to 100 feet (the length of the drop cord).

Run Office97 Access/Excel on Win98. Still has the original 3Gb hard drive (a really noisy Toshiba IIRC).

Oldest working ? Would be my 100 MHZ P1, with windows 95.. Very old computer and still works.. . Of course i dont use it anymore lol but i know it works.

Oldest one we use still is a 1200mhz Athlon downstairs on my mom's desk we use to just browse the internet with or something

LOL, I sold mine Pentium II 233 desktop system with 15" CRT Monitor on craigslist for $5 just a little over a year ago. My dad was using it religiously for his computing needs, but I got fed up with it because I am the one who has to fix it when there is a problem.

 

[InfoTiger]

Intel Pentium Pro 200 MHz Gateway PC which cost me over $2K back then (10 yrs ago?)
It has my tax records. I keep it in case IRS summons me.

 

[Martimus]

I have a "portable" 8088 Compaq that still runs. It is now 30 years old.

It has a 10MB hard drive, and 64kB of RAM. Runs DOS 5.0, and has CGA graphics on a 2.5" monochrome screen. It was my first computer, and was the computer I used to teach myself how to program.

I still use it to run the old games I wrote on it, since I don't have an easy way to transfer them to my newer computer (It had 2x 5.25" floppy drives), plus they wouldn't run correctly anyway, since I based the timers on the speed of my 8088 (so a 1000 line loop would run ~1 second, versus milliseconds on modern computers.)

 

[PottedMeat]

I have one of these in the garage:
http://home.online.no/~kr-lund/olivetti.htm

It's got a 8086 and a ~20MB NEC harddrive. You can spin the exposed stepper motor and gears with your hand - though it's not a good idea.

Sometimes it boots, sometimes it doesn't.

 

[Phynaz]

All you youngsters.

I have functional systems using a Z-80 and a 6502.

The oldest that is doing actual work is a 386 file server.

 

[Eeqmcsq]

I still have my first PC that I owned: Celeron 366, slot 1. I dual boot between the original Win98 installation and xubuntu. I use it primarily in Win98 with eMule running in the background. In xubuntu, I mess around with scripts and keep it up to date, but I can't think of any actual use for it.

Dude that tbird ran SUPER HOT.

It idles at like 65 degrees. Under load it gets up to like ~80. Basically, a space heater.

 

[A554SS1N]

Athlon T-Bird 1400mhz, but not used that much.

I've got the 1.2Ghz version that I still use occasionally as the printer is set up on that one.

I also have a 120Mhz (P150+) 6x86 IBM processor machine on top on my wardrobe, but that hasn't been used since around 2002-2003. I guess it *might* still boot.

 

[Maximilian]

G4 1.25ghz, but its soon to be sold, after that i guess it will be an i3 530, which isnt old at all heh.

 

[oslama]

Pentium 75

 

[Nancypants]

Pentium III 500 MHz with a 3dfx Voodoo 3. It was the first PC I owned, and it was old when I inherited it...

 

[Tsavo]

8088. I use it for folding, xcoding HD video and playing Crysis.
