Since the Athlon 64 was OCd a good bit, normal OS use didn't get any faster but games increased and video encoding tripled in speed. The Celeron 333 to Athlon XP was a more noticeable jump.

what the hell is a cpu? I started on punch cards. Moved up to dual floppy drives (real floppy drives). One drive was for the OS/software, the other for data. Wish I still had that one actually. I was online for the first time with DOS based Prodigy.
