andenario Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 we have a free table in our engineering building and crap like that pops up all the time. Not even worth scrounging for parts most of the time. Last one i went through was a k6. Hell the computer I fixed up for my girlfriend that she was using for the longest time till she got her laptop last summer was a P2 866 or so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocre Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 I got a pentium I and some various K6-II sitting around... wish I still had my 486DX2... which version. There was actually more then 1 across several sockets. The first was a 60-66 mhz i think it was like socket 4. Now that was slow. shortly after there were 120mhz pentuim on a new socket. Could you imagine today if in a very short time we had went to 6.4ghz i7's? There was also socket 7 Pentiums that went into 200+ mhz, I think up to 300 but i havent seen much on them. the original pentium like went from 60mhz to like 5x the speed. thats some huge differences. So thats why i ask Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 do you have the very first computer which was like a building ..? I think I still have the Atari 1040ST somewhere. It came with a Motorola 68000 CPU and a awesome 512KB of memory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came with a Motorola 68000 CPU and a awesome 512KB of memory WOOW , these are old school stuff , but they were great when they were released ...imagine 2 years from now , we will say if you have core i7 get the xxx xxxxx xxxx , hardware gets old real quick ..i loved the time when intel had 775 on .. at that time i got a powerful cpu (q6600) with p35 -dq6 not very high end but it filled my needs with a decent card (8800gtx) that was after the 2900xt died ..now i have 275 and i do not want to upgrade just because i love gtx200 and the card is a monster to me ..
