First CPU you've ever owned?

[Nelly]

First PC I owned cost £999 from Dixons, Packard Bell with a 486sx 25Mhz processor around 1994.

In 1998, I had my first custom built PC using a Asus P2BF - S1 Motherboard, along with a Pentium 2 400Mhz Processor.

Where do you draw the line? First PC I used a lot had a 486, then my first one PC had a 466MHz Celeron. After that I got an XP 3000+, but it was still a pre-built. First CPU I've bought was a X2 4200+, to replace that 3000+. And that 4200+ is still alive and well and responsible for my IRC bouncer.

I can't recall the first CPU I owned, but the first one I actually went and bought for my first home build was an i7-2600K. I haven't been doing this very long... -_-

Athlon 550 (K7)

Now I don't expect many of you guys to have heard of this CPU; I've been in the PC building world for so many years now, and I'm just so experienced; I mean, we're talking so many years that I could just about count them on half of one hand. So yeah. Here she is, it's called an i5 2500k. Never heard of it? Didn't think so.

First CPU I remember using was a 12mhz Intel 80386 in my dads work computer. The first actual CPU that I purchased independently to upgrade a computer I remember vividly. It was a 63mhz Intel Pentium OverDrive 486. I remember it so well because it was the first processor I ever owned that had a heatsink and fan. I definitely thought I was hot stuff when I plugged that sucker in.

If I remember correctly it was a pentium II that I bought for my first rig.

My first was an amstrad 486 SX 25Mhz, I think it had 4MB of RAM.

 

[Deilwynna]

450mhz intel p2 if i remember correctly, unless you count in the cpu of consoles like Megadrive2

 

[QuietOne]

Family Intel 80486
Part number A80486SX-25
Frequency (MHz) ? 25
Bus speed (MHz) ? 25
Clock multiplier ? 1
Package type CPGA
CPUID 0422h
Core voltage (V) ? 5

Wow 5V, I'll try upping the juice on my 2700K to 5V and see what happens.

First PC I ever used was a 386 machine IIRC, the first computer I ever tinkered with hardware-
wise had a 486 in it.

The first CPU I actually bought with my own money was an Athlon Thunderbird-C 1.4 GHz (king
of the hill back then :wub: ). Sadly it died of heat death due to w/c loop failure.

Pentium III then the AMD Duron...

Can't say this is my first but I've just removed this from a PC that's about to be dumped tomorrow.

OMG!!! I so remember those cyrix cpus lol

 

[Josh Weston]

OMG!!! I so remember those cyrix cpus lol

It's the same age as me, but in far greater condition
Strange seeing the stuff that's stayed the same. PCI slots, USB, etc.
RAM's different though - this thing takes SIMMs, which I've never heard of.

 

[S_I_N]

need some??? I have a few lol

 

[Josh Weston]

I got 'dis

 

[S_I_N]

nice lol now if ya have win95 you might be able to make a rig with it. those look to be either 8mb or 16mb modules

 

[Josh Weston]

Alas, the 2.1GB Samsung hard drive has already been smashed.
The rest of this time capsule's gonna be deposited over the tip tomorrow, though I'll keep the CPU and RAM for memorabilia's sake.

 

[S_I_N]

omg a 2.1gigger lol it must of been upgraded lol i recall most of mine used @max 600MB drives most being alot smaller than that.
