I'm pretty sure mine was from a Pentium 90 to a Celeron 300a O/C to 450. I remember Corel Draw 3 going from almost unusable to almost snappy. The Pentium 90 was a Gateway system I bought. The Celeron rig was one of the first I built using that Abit motherboard that everyone was using. Was it the BX100?
Another pretty big jump was from that Celeron 300a to a PIII 850.
PIV 3.06 (Northwood) to C2D O/C to 3.2GHz was also a big performance upgrade. And that rig to a 2500k was another big jump. The 2500k to my current 4770k was definitely a noticeable jump but more incremental.
But none of them compare to the 5x increase in performance from that P90 to the 300a.
