100MHz something, not sure as it was in an old Compaq I bought for £100 to play around with. Theory was if I broke it it wouldn't be the end of the world. Ever since then I've had AMD CPU's, the next may well be Intel i5 2500K

At work it was a 386 machine....can't remember the exact spec now. For my own home computer it was a P166 MMX.

Although I guess actually it was the Zilog Z80 in my ZX Speccy :)
