First CPU you've ever owned?

[AverageNinja]

So I recently dug up a really old PC, I think it was from my grandma who passed away last year, and this got me thinking, what was your first ever CPU? That inspired me to make this thread
This PC wasn't mine, but it was the first PC I ever used, and now it is mine, so I'll post pics of these.
It's an old AMD K6-2 333 AFR.

"Designed for Windows (95 and NT), made in Malay
Old CPU from 1998 it is.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys
Sorry for the crappy pics, I'll take better ones asap

first was a K6-133 0r 166 quickly upped it to the BOSS K6-200Mhz

mine was a pentium 4 650ht. was actually a pretty good cpu and after i think 8 years its still working pretty well

I don't know if it was the first one I owned, but its the one I remember most: a Pentium II, don't know what model exactly tho
But that was in a PC I bought off of a company who sold their hardware back in 1998 or 99 I believe...
The first CPU I ever bought seperately from a PC was a Core 2 Quad Q6600. Fond memories my friends, fond memories!

i donno what model but a pentium 3

Don't know the first one, I wasn't interested in what was "under the hood", I just wanted to play Zoo Tycoon . But the second was a Sempron 2400+.

some veryyyyy old Pentium which ran @100mhz on a Win95 machine... Still going strong back home in Slovakia, for my grandma to be able to see pictures

pentium 4 630 clocked at a staggering 3.0GHz!

currently being put through it's paces as my new key ring, after its retirement from the family's office pc 2 months ago!

Top left is my first socketed cpu. (First was a 386 soldered direct to the board)

Mine was a Q6600 back in 2009, yes all that long ago :lol:

Q6600s were the 2500ks of their time, awesome little overclockers that kept up with CPUs above it.

Mine was Intel 386SX 16Mhz back in 1993 i believe.

 

[d3rrial]

Yay, I'm not the one with the newest oldest CPU

I wish I had been born earlier to be able to experience the 386 generation and the birth of x86

 

[1woo]

Yeah it was fun. Even one Mhz had BIG impact on performance.

 

[SeekaX]

no clue, my first cpu burned after 2 days. some intel pentium 2 if i recall correctly.

Long time ago now so I can't actually remember the chip but it was whatever was fitted to the Amstrad 8086

My first computer was a Tandy TRS-80 color computer , which I still have in it's original box , bought for me by my parents in 1979.
But my first real computer had a 386sx 33mhz chip with 2 mb of ram and had windows 3.1 operating system .
I know , I'm an old fart compared to most members here...lol

Relatively newcomer so it was an Athlon 3000+ on Socket 754

First CPU I owned was in a second hand complete system, Pentium 3 (I forget which one, 500 or 600mhz)
All I remember about it was the huge hideous chunk of plastic like this:
