What is your CPU History

So here goes

486DX33 --> 486 DX4-100 --> Pentium Overdrive --> Pentium 166 --> Pentium 200 --> PII 333 ---> PIII 750 --> PIII 1Ghz ---> P4 2.66 --> P4 3.0 HT --> X2 4800+ --> Q6600 --> Q6700 (current)

with each platform change came the associated Motherboard and RAM change

Thats going back from the early 1990s to present day

P200 with MMX (F-yeah, MMX baby - that really made all the difference), P3 900, P4c 2.4 @ 2.8Ghz, Core 2 Duo E6400 @ 3.04Ghz.

Prior to that I had used 386's and 486 at school but at home I had an Amgia 1200 (I upgraded this so I had two floppy disk drives, very handy for playing Monkey Island 2 and it's 12 discs!) and before that an Atari 500 ST.

The Celeron was a laptop, as was one of the 2.4GHz P4s. I've got a Core Duo now too, forget the model. This doesn't include systems I've built for others, or built for my own use at work, but some of these I used for a while and then gave away or sold.

Gotta love all these people that started with a vic 20 or C64. Or better yet, an old commodore Pet. Mine eventually died from the chip creep problems. But, it was awesome being able to put several good games on 1 small KBwise 5 1/4 floppy disk. I remember playing Spitfire and Battle for Britain on mine back in the day.

2xIntel P3 in laptops
1xK6 2 in a third laptop.

Going Phenom B3 to upgrade both A64 X2, maybe I'll need yet a new system, probably going Q6600 or Q9300 for heavy processing.
Keeping all lappies, except the K6-2 as is not serving me that well anymore.

I see that a few others had a 486DX-120.... seemed to be a uncommon chip at the time when everyone was going to Pentiums. I only had it because I was the only cpu I could find that fit my measly budget at the time.

My CPU was born in Brooklyn NY to two Italian Immigrants. It graduated high school in 1990, served 4 years in the military, and continued it's education at Michigan State with an Engineering Degree.
It then fell in love, screwed up, had kids, and is now fat, bald, impotent, unemployed and divorced.

===============================

Above was using for longevity, all cpu changes also got a board change, and at least 2 graphics cards a piece (Yes geforce, I still hate your guts). via and intel chipsets, the rest still suck. In fact I said to hell with via 8 years ago. I don't even choose AMD. Too many dynamics to be hotrodding around pretending I learned the basics of one. I am going on 36 yrs old and literally feel older than myself. I do not want overclocking, amd, geforce, or a fan on my vid card or more than 3 fans in the whole system. Sta belngs external like a usb , still crazy to run an os....
