First CPU you've ever owned?

[upinesay]

Hah awesome thread. Very nostalgic! My first was a 8088. I remember debugging my first program on it written in BASIC.

Here's my history of CPUs ^_^ (this was an excruciating exercise in memory recollection, but very fun):

8088 (IBM PC) ->
Z80 (C128) ->
80286 ->
68000 (Amiga 500) ->
80486 ->
Cyrix 133 (decided on Cyrix because of Intel math bug; I didn't notice any heat problems on mine) ->
Pentium 3 533 (remember the cartridge?) ->
AMD Athlon II X3 ->
4770k

First CPU I ever used was a Pentium 75 (MHz that is). I remember that little guy didn't even have a fan, it was just a heatsync cooling it. Far cry from modern chips that require liquid cooling to keep them in check.

my first was a 386sx clocked at an impressive 25 Mhz. 1993 was the good times

Cyrix 166mhz with MMX.

Wonder if people ever remember Cyrix at all. It came in a Time computer back when I lived in the UK and a shitty little system still cost £1300 at the time.

The year was 1994 and the cpu was 486 dx4 100. The last upgrade was sadly in 2006, so still running Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 @2,8Ghz.
