Box of old CPUs...

[dr3ams]

I was digging through my hardware cabinet and unearthed a box of my old CPUs. Here is the chronological list going back to my first CPU. Some of the CPUs, not in the photo, have since moved on to wafer heaven.

The years listed are an approximate date of when I had the CPU installed.

• Intel 386 - 1994
• Intel 486 - 1994
• Pentium 133 - 1995
• AMD K6 (Little Foot) - 1997
• AMD Athlon K7 (Thunderbird) - 2000
• AMD Athlon XP 2400+ (Thoroughbred) - 2002
• AMD Sempron 2200+ (Thoroughbred) - 2004 (installed in a separate PC)
• AMD Athlon 64 2800+ (Newcastle) - 2004
• AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice) - 2005
• Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 - 2008

Nice dawg I still wish I had some of my older socket A stuff.

I think the weakest thing I have laying around is an Athlon II 250u

Just for the sake of nostalgia, I wish I still had the Pentium 133 CPU and the ATI 4MB graphics card in my collection. A lot of good times and countless hours gaming on Windows 95.

Couple of these are older than me. First chip I really remember specifically was a Pentium 3 with 800MHz.
