Your CPU history?

[Artofkicking]

First one was something like a 10 or 13 (not really certain )
25mhz was the new computer that replaced that one (with a turbo button, maybe a 386? That really didn't seem important at the time)
Next to a 66 486 intel
then 133 intel
166 intel
266 cyrix (good chip)
400 amd k6-2 (first oc'ed chip upped the fsb from 100 to 110 and gained 10%, wow)
800 amd
1 gig amd
1300 amd (i think, that may have been the oc?)
1800 xp
barton 2800 (pretty nice chip but....opteron)

 

[Somniferum]

Apple IIc
486-25MHz
Pentium MMX 166 @ 200MHz (first overclock)
PII-350 @ 400MHz (first home-built system)
Celeron 366 @ 567MHz
Celeron 800 @ 1GHz
P4 2.4B @ 2.79GHz

Now I'm tempted to upgrade to an A64 3000+ rig, but from what I've read the difference would probably not be worth it ... so I keep telling myself ... must hold out for at least 4GHz (or 4000+) and dual-core!!!

[*]Zilog Z-80A (Timex Sinclair ZX1000)
[*]MOS 8502 CPU, running at 1MHz with Z-80 (Commodore 64)
[*]Intel 8088 @ 4.77 MHz
[*]Intel 8088 @ 7 MHz (my first overclock... requiring buying crystals at Radion Shack and desoldering the original and soldering in the new chips (@ 21MHz IIRC...with a 3 DIVIDER!)
[*]NEC V-20 @ 7 MHz (8088 clone that was better than the 8088)
[*]NEC V-20 @ 10 MHz (my fastest IBM-XT)
[*]Intel 386-SX 16MHz (Overclocked this machine to 20 MHz)
[*]Intel 386-SX 25MHz (Overclocked this machine to 33 MHz)
[*]AMD 486DX/2-80MHz (First Machine I owned that REQUIRED at heatsink and fan)
[*]Intel Pentium 100
[*]Intel Pentium 120 (Dog of a chip on a 30 MHz bus)
[*]Intel Pentium 133
[*]Intel Pentium 166 (overclocked to 233 via jumpers on mobo)
[*]Intel Pentium 233 (overclocked to 250 with 100MHz FSB on Mustang MOBO by Fic)
[*]AMD K6-233
[*]AMD K6-266
[*]AMD K6/2-300
[*]Intel P2-300@504 (SL2W8 was a SWEET OVERCLOCKER and Intel only had a 450 while I was running 504!)
[*]DUAL P2-300's @ 558 from StepThermoDynamics using ThermoElectric Coolers on a Shuttle 649a Mobo
[*]Intel P3-450@558
[*]Dual Celeron 366's at 550 on an Abit BP6 (still running as a web server today)
[*]Various P3's (FCPGA) from 550MHz on up to 800MHz overclocked.
[*]AMD Athlon 700 @ 840 (Slot A without using the overclock device!)
[*]Various Athlons from 800 to Athlon XP 2500 overclocked to ~3500+ Speeds (current gaming machine)
[*]Various Durons from 600's up to a current AppleBred 1600 @ ~2GHz.

And A LOT OF JUNK IN BETWEEN! Never had a Cyrix Chip. Never had a VIA chip (yet.. I like their low power models). Never had a P4 yet and I think I'm probably going to skip that entire generation of Intel chips.

AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz (Still using in home-built machine, running at stock speed presently)
AMD Athlon XP 1700+ @ 1.477 GHz (Still using in home-built machine, running at stock speed presently)

Don't know if I want to upgrade soon, because I'm involved in a project to quiet down both my PCs to hush HTPC/work status. I figure faster CPU's will require noisier cooling solutions.

Hope to wait another year, get a dual opteron set up.

The reason for such a small gap in the AthlonXPs is I built new lower end computers and used the old CPUs in the new boxes and just kept upgrading my new box.

I have actually owned (and still own) more cpus that this but they were never on my main computer.

Don't know if I want to upgrade soon, because I'm involved in a project to quiet down both my PCs to hush HTPC/work status. I figure faster CPU's will require noisier cooling solutions.

A guy I know asked me why I'd want faster than 1 Gz, anyway. I think we were talking about notebooks, though. In a notebook, I might not require faster, but I guess in a PC, there are certain applications that just won't run if you don't have a faster CPU. Some of the more processor intensive ones, right? Can anyone comment?
