The oldest CPU you have in regular use?

Mine isn't nearly as impressive.

The oldest I have is an E5450 3ghz, Xeon.

Still a capable little setup a cheap 775 - 771 modded system for multimedia and gaming.

Sits in the corner, I work on it most days and it runs my security camera software and hosts some websites and voip stuff so it's on 24/7. Good little computer tbh.
 
My Atari TT gets used quite often. It was built in 1990. Its a 32Mhz 68030 CPU
My Atari Falcon however was built in 1992 and has had some serious hardware improvements, and this gets used almost daily. It started life as a 16Mhz 68030 but now lives it up with a 68060 CPU running a sweet 120Mhz so my Skylake had better whatch out!

Oldest PC ... Probably the I7-920 I think? I have plenty of older stuff but they are no longer used really... Oldest PC I have is a 6Mhz 286 and it works, but no, I dont use it.
 
AMD64 3400+

Solid chip and has served me well. The thing cost me ~£300 back in the day. Think I'll make a keyring out of it when it finally gives up the ghost
 
up until a couple of weeks ago the main rig was running an 2010 lynnfield i5 760.
but then the motherboard went pop and so now I'm running a 6700K (what a shame).

but i'll keep an eye out for a super cheap 1156 board on the off chance the cpu survived and repurpose it for the kids if so.
 
Nothing lasts for long in my house don't have the space to keep anything old or un-needed it all goes on Ebay, oldest machine is probably my HP Microserver with its 5* 8TB Drives and AMD Athlon II Model Neo N54L CPU which is a 2013 machine?
 
3.2GHz P4 Prescott on Socket 478 OCed to 3.4GHz. Dear God that thing is warm.

Housemate is still running a Phenom II X2 in her system, that thing's still a charm, although I wasn't lucky enough to have unlockable cores in that one.

Awesome this sparked my brain to my first PC i got from my Brother after he got a new one think I was 11 or something.

Packerd Bell MMX 233MHZ 64mb RAM Windows 95/98 and it was running a version of the Voodoo graphics card - I still have it in the attic

We still have a DELL DIMENSION XPS M200s Pentium 200Mhz MMX running Windows 98SE, with 64MB RAM, 16GB HDD and an S3 Savage4 16MB PCI video card which I upgraded it to so it could run Unreal Tournament in my younger days. :D

It's at my parent's though and it's not in regular use these days.

It's the second PC that my dad bought, after an old Evesham Micros 486sx25 which was prone to Memory Parity errors. We no longer have that one sadly, nor a Packard Bell 486sx33 I got from my grandad. It started beeping horribly after sitting in a cupboard for years so I had to bin it, after wiping the hard drive on another PC. Ah my days of 486s, DOS and Windows 3.1 (and 3.11) and then Windows 95...
