Just to see how old some of you actually are and whats passed through your hands over the years. Your thoughts on these cpus and your fond memories
My history
Intel 80486 ( my first cpu, back when my top visited site on dialup was cartoon network )
AMD Duron 800 ( back when BF 1942 was the go to! )
Athlon 1Ghz Tbird ( hand me down upgrade from me father, I remember the hype when this arrived )
Athlon 1.4 Tbird ( another hand me down, miss this era )
Duron 1300mhz (a slight downgrade when my athlon died out of warranty)
Athlon 2500 Barton ( what an absolute monster this was )
Athlon 64 x2 5000+ ( ran this with 7900gt sli , first dual gpu rig )
Phenom 955 BE ( i miss this cpu , an unhealthy attachment for what was the worse period in my life)
For 6100 ( yeah stupid me )
For 8320 ( I never learn , but paired with a 780ghz at the time was fairly potent )
4770k ( monstered the 8320 and was beautiful )
5820k ( back when an enthusiast cpu was 300 quid , mid end consumer cpus costing that now )
Ryzen 1700 ( AMD was back , now in daughters pc still doing well with a 1080 )
Ryzen 2700 ( I killed this with some amount of voltage, ended up buying a 2700x and sold the 2700 once replaced )
Ryzen 2700x ( I got 5fps avg more on metro exodus... its weird when that felt worth the outlay)
Ryzen 3800x ( AMD coming into the high end again , maybe i am a fan.)
Ryzen 5900x ( waiting for this to arrive today! Hurrrah! Top end once again)
