Still using an i5 750 clocked at 4 Ghz. Still runs games well and pushes the GPU to 99% utilisation 95% of the time.

It came out in 2009, I bought it second hand on here in 2011. Perhaps I will upgrade if Zen is any good. Otherwise lets see if it lasts until 2019.

i have components from years ago still hanging around, still have a Pentium 1 300mhz CPU, a 16mb Radeon card, and some memory modules that run the old pc configuration before DDR became a thing. even an old micro atx cube case and a 100w psu, pretty sure i still have a 100mb HDD around, but i will need tocheck through the stack of operational HDD's to be sure. no idea if i still have the motherboard from that time.

Just a pack rat that never threw away this junk over the years.

I'm still running a i5 750 @4.2 in my hackintosh rig. Bought it from new.

Still works great!

I still run a Core 2 Duo E6700 (2.66MHz) on my desktop PC. Macbook is used for day-to-day stuff and the desktop is used for Guild Wars 2 and college work. I want to give it a much needed upgrade later this year though.
