CPU's Revisited - A great article for you younger guys...

The Overdrives were wierd... I forgot what it was but something else in ur comp limited which Overdrive u could get. I remember they had a 166mhz Overdrive and I couldn't get it because it wasn't compatible for one reason or another. I think it had to do with the chipset but they called it something else.

Take you back....http://cpu-museum.de/?m=Intel&f=Overdrive+CPUs

it wasnt something to do with the voltage was it?

The AMD K6-2 - the first machine i picked all the parts for and built totally myself.

And the chip i spend £600 on the day it was released (ouch)

I can't remember what the compatibility prob was with the Overdrive but it didnt seem like voltage however that might have been it.

[ionicle_old]

my first p.c was a 20MHz ibm one that we ended up giving away, then my first proper one was a AMD Athlon 1GHz with 128mb of ram, and a geforce 2 with a 28.6 gig hard drive, and a dvd burner...i got that in 1999

My first Puter was genuine IBM 16 mph and 4 meg of ram one of which was kept in place with a wood chip on account of a breakage and came with MCI slots - a real bummer as of course these were expensive and not readily available as the vesa and pci slots were. I never got around to getting the maths co cpu. This IBM cost around £1800 circa 1989 -a fortune, and would not even run Windows with any degree of stability or indeed usefulnesss. Brings back memories of DOS now just a distant memory
