I dunno who said this but apparently someone working at compaq said that no CPU's would go over 730mhz cuz it would take too much power, LMAO!!

My first computer was a 16Mhz 386SX. It came with 1 meg of RAM and a 40MB hard drive.
I eventually upgraded it to 4 megs or ram, which was its limit and a 425 MB hard drive. I even had a 1x CD-ROM and Soundcard added. It ran DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1.
It's in the attic in a box. It still works but I have little use for it. It's a relic from the old days :) Someday when I'm bored I'm going to try to put windows 95 on it.

Wow...thats scary. Zombie computer in the attic. Maybe you should do an experiment a bit more hardcore than putting windows 95...how about something like this (some of you may remember this):

This is what PC Magazine said in 2003:
In 2003, the Itanium II debuting at 1GHz, used up to 130W (with 220 million transistors). By 2006, processors could be in the 6GHz range
