P3 1ghz socket and then a tuliatan core if anyone remembers those
AMD 1700 I think in there somewhere
AMD ahtlon 2500+ (o/c to 3200+ now working as my media PC still) then didn't buy much for a while
C2D 6300 (bought about 2-3 years ago) cheapo refurb
last year replaced the mobo and memory
recently clocked it to 2.8ghz and 1600FSB to have a play which I've quite happy with so far. not sure the mobo can go passed that FSB

 

[dangerstat]

jeez.
Amstrad 6128 colour monitor, built in floppy drive... oh yeah!

Yes but it's floppy drive was only 3" it must have felt so inadequate compared with the 5 1/4" drives those "PC's" where using

 

[hlennie]

starting from present to past

i7 920 @ 4.22 Ghz
Q 6600 @ 3.8 Ghz
E 6600 @ 3.4 Ghz

Athlon Xp 2600+ OC
Athlon 1200 TB OC got to love a hb pencil

P3 1ghz
P3 500 another tiny Replaced the 333 which set on fire
P3 333 think it was slot one tiny computer total crap

Cryix 133 as long as i could play battletech i was happy

amiga 1200 & 500 Eye of the beholder days :
amstrad 464 green screen, what a joy when i brought the colour monitor
atari 2600 and some thing called a vex trex

Lets see how good my memory is

• zilog z80 4Mhz (amstrad cpc 464)
• amd 386sx-33
• amd 486dx4-100
• intel pentium 90 (I think)
• amd k6-2 500 (maybe more than one of these, can't remember)
• amd athlon 1Ghz
• amd athlon xp 2500+ (barton)
• amd opteron 144
• Currently = intel core 2 duo e6300 & amd athlon 5200 X2

 

[DizMatt]

Yes but it's floppy drive was only 3" it must have felt so inadequate compared with the 5 1/4" drives those "PC's" where using

ahem, a truly floppy floppy as I recall was that 5.25 inch
the 3" compact was 'ard and the precursor to the 3 1/2 of the PC era.

 

[mmj_uk]

I'll not list them all but I'll say that the biggest leap I ever had was going from a K6-2 550 to Duron 800@1GHz, the difference was astonishing.

I've also had various 386/486/Pentium I, II, and III machines that have come to me not working and been canabalised for friends.

 

[Edinho]

Atari games console thing cant remember the model
1985 Commodore 16
1986 Commodore 64
1989 Atari ST

then a big gap

1999 - P3 450 slot 1
2000 - P3 1GhZ
2001 - Athlon 1300
2002 - Athlon 1800 Thunderbird
2003 - Athlon 2200+ XP Skt A
2003 - Athlon 2500+ XP Skt A
2003 - Athlon 2500+ mobile
2005 - Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego S939
2008 - Intel C2D 7200

As you can see I really cant be bothered with the upgrade merry-go-round in the last few years.

The most i've been impressed with was the A64 3700+

 

[BeeP]

Tv Games console (Pong ***!!!)
Atari games console, can't remember model but it was cart based & Had space invaders etc.
zx81, only for a month or so as it broke
zx spectrum, the rubber key one which was replaced by the +
Amiga 500

PC History

P1 133 (can't remember exactly)
P3 800
Athlon 1800
Athlon 2500 Barton
P4 3.0
Athlon64 3000 socket 939
Athlon64 4200 Dual core socket 939
Intel Q6600

I have built many more for friends etc but only included mine.

I try to keep up to date but not to the point of having the other half kill me, most of the time now I try to get every last bit of life out of a system before I have to do a full build again.

My last system including upgrades lasted 3 years, hopefully I can bleed about the same out of this one lol.

Yes I am old, 37 & still gaming

 

[hawker1986]

My Main Rig: P3 500mhz > P3 1Ghz > P4 1.6Ghz > P4 3Ghz > A64 X2 4400+ > Q6600 B3 > Q6700 G0

Secondary Rig: Cyrix 266Mhz > Athlon 800Mhz > Athlon 1.4Ghz > P4 3Ghz Sold

Uni Rig: E6400 > Q6600 G0

Media Centre: CeleronD 420 > E6400

That goes as far back as I can remember
