Long thread, but I guess I can put my list here if I can remember them all.

Vic 20
Commodore 64
Commodore 128
386
486
P1 133
K6/2 300 Mhz
Cyrix M2 300Mhz
Celeron 333 @ 500 Mhz (monster overclocker for its day)
K7 Athlon Slot A 700 Mhz @ 900Mhz
K7 Athlon Socket A 1Ghz @ 1.33 Ghz
K7 Athlon XP 1.53Ghz (didn't OC well for me)
Pentium 4 2Ghz (didn't OC well for me either)
Athlon Barton 3000+ 2.1Ghz @ 2.5Ghz (used for quite awhile)
Opteron 160 Socket 939 @ 2.7 Ghz (only used for a bit until I got a deal on the one below)
Opteron 190 Socket 939 @ 3.3 Ghz (used for long while and still own today but not in use)
Athlon X2 5600+ (unlocked 4 core phenom version I still have in my HTPC)
Q6600 @ 3.3Ghz
Q9550 @ 3.7Ghz
i7 920 @ 3.9Ghz
i7 2600K @ 4.4 Ghz (still my main PC today)
Athlon A8 (in my wifes laptop)
i7-2720QM (my laptop)

I have built with many other procs and think I owned a few for a month or two before selling the build off to family/friends that were in need of a comp. I think I had a few durons and bartons besides the ones listed, but I was trying to list those I know I had for a decent amount of time. Many times I owned more than 1 computer for various reasons. Still do actually. I might have missed a few, but oh well.

[Nhirlathothep]

- c64
- Amiga 500 (expanded 1mb ram)
- 486 dx2 66mhz
- pII 266 mhz overclocked a lot (slot 1 cpu)

i loved em, all i bought later are just normal stuff.

(btw i also remember a Cyrix cpu i hated, it is in my memory for the opposite feeling)

 

[mikeymikec]

i loved em

I'm wondering whether I'm developing a fondness for my current PC build, because finally I've got what I regard to be a very quiet PC build after a bit of work/hardware revision.

Bought my first PC in feb 2007 with a geek friend's help who convinced me to buy assembled instead of buying Dell Dimension 9200 (That was the first time I really liked the look of a computer)
So went ahead and bought the following: (My upgrades/downgrades were fast) with some golden overclocking chips

Intel E6300 2.8 GHz -> E2140 3.6GHz -> Q6600 3.6GHz -> E5200 2.5 GHz -> AMD Phenom X II 560 Black Edition @ 4 Ghz -> Core i5-4440 @ 3.1 Ghz.

Actually dell dimension looks better than custom build pc, but u did a lot of upgrades

It did but I don't regret going the other way because before that the only thing I could do on a computer was surf porn and send receive emails. Post that purchase I got to know a lot of stuff I would've probably never known.

[lakedude]

Played around with various computers but never bought one until they had full color 3d graphics.

Pentium 166
Cel 300A (heck yeah) plus 2 more CPUs on the same BX motherboard.
P4 1.3Gz
A couple core 2 duos.
Some dual core AMD chips.
AMD Rana triple.
750 Lynnfield
1055t hex core
I5 2500k
I7 3370

And a mess of laptops all with dGPUs.


Many more built for friends and family.

Plus too many graphics cards to count.

After the i7 3770 laptops became powerful enough to do most things so right now the best computer in the house is a laptop.

There might be an AMD 3950 with an NVIDIA 1070 headed my way soon...
