Your CPU Timeline

i thought you would have upgraded long ago, particulalry with prices as they are. i got 2GB of 667 ram (runs at 800 5-5-5-15) for $25!
 
I dont have enough room where im living to have 2 PCs up and running.

My Priorities consist of Currently
New Living Quarters (Apartment/Duplex vs a Dorm Room)
New Uniforms- ABU and new Service Dress Uniform
NCO Training before I Get Promoted to Staff Sergeant Next year

A P3 Processor (Mother's machine)
AMD Athlon@800MHZ (Dad's laptop and then mine, dodgy power socket blew up PSU)
AMD Athlon 3000+ (Dad's current machine~ 7 years old now)
Intel Celeron at 1.7GHZ (Old laptop that got stabbed in the cooling with a pen, HDD fried)
AMD Athlon X2 TK-53@ 1.7ghz each core running at 1V thanks to undervolting last night, going to try going further later.
Intel Q6600
In my experience the AMD systems have been beasts and have taken any amount of shit that could be thrown at them and survived, the plug that killed my first one was badly wired (it was hanging off the wall but my mother claimed it was OK, yeah sure when it flashed blue when I plugged my laptop in)
My only intel laptop on the other hand has been pants, the celeron was slow as hell, I'd have preferred the old 800mhz athlon, however due to the huge OCability of the intel processors and the performance advantage over AMD I've gone intel for my desktop.
Good luck on the staff sergeant, I've recently passed a methods of instruction cadre in the army section of my school's Combined cadet force contingent (One of the five UK cadet services)

haha aaaa i stand corrected then:D
 
I tend to hold on to processors for a while so my list is quite short.

AMD Athlon XP2500+ Barton 1.83Ghz @ 2.2Ghz. I have fond memories of this chip.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 2.2Ghz @ 2.6Ghz. Not a bad chip but nothing spectacular.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Kentsfield 2.4Ghz @ 3.6Ghz. All I can say is wow. This thing reminds me of my days using the Barton.

My modest 1.2Ghz OC still makes me chuckle sometimes.

Oh and I suppose that I can add an E7200 wolfdale to that list but I haven't played around with it yet.

Intel P4 2.8ghz

I would make enough money to buy a nice hat. :)
The only dissapointing thing is that the only CPUs I've overclocked out of that lot have been the 486 (66 @ 80 MHz) and the PII Celeron (400 @ 500). Probably why they both died. :laugh:
Come christmas, I'll have the E5200 in my hands, and then we'll see how fast it can really go. ;)
 
I just need a new video card.

But for xmas i really just want L4D or at least Fallout 3.

Leading Edge desktop powered by a 386 (Was 9 when we got our first used beat up computer :)
Pentium II 266MHz (The first NEW family computer)

AMD K6-2 300MHz
---This is where it all started for me at the age of 14. This was the first computer I built, I'll never forget it. I will never forget my Riva TNT and Quake 2 in all its OpenGL glory. I saved $850 to build up this beast by mowing lawns and saving both birthday money and Christmas money. This was the best $850 I ever spent in my life!

-Epox motherboard
-64MB of SD memory
-Creative Riva TNT 16MB AGP (!!) video card
-Quantum Fireball 6.4GB Hard Drive
-AOC 15" CRT monitor
-Ricoh Cheetah 2x Burner (!!!)
-10MB Ethernet Card

Intel Celeron 366MHz @ 550MHz
Intel Celeron II 566MHZ @ 850-900MHz
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 800MHz @ 1GHz
Intel P4 2.4C Northwood @ 3.2-3.4GHz
AMD Athlon 64 Barton XP 3000+ 2GHz @ 2.4GHz
Intel Pentium D 925 3.0GHz @ 3.6GHz
AMD Phenom 9600 BE 2.3 @ 2.5GHz (This CPU really pissed me off...)
AMD Phenom II 920 2.8 @ 3.5-3.7GHz
Intel i7 920 (D0) 2.66 @ 4.2-4.4GHz
AMD Phenom 1090T 3.2GHz @ 4.2-4.4GHz
Intel i7 950 3.0 @ 4.2-4.5GHz

I actually remembered all my overclocks.. nice!

As for future CPU's.. I'm hoping to score a Sandy Bridge 2011 setup IF Bulldozer FX ends up being a dud... if not.. its back to AMD. :D
