What was your first ever CPU?

[dlknight]

1st computer = Zilog Z80 @ 4MHz (Amstrad CPC 464)

1st PC = AMD 386 SX-33

1st upgrade (in 1st PC) = AMD 486 DX4-100

Getting the itch to go back to AMD after looking at some favourable reviews showing Phenom II performance vs Intel i5/i7 vs bang for buck.

My first rig was a

Pentium 75

And the intro to Mechwarrior Mercenaries was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen.

Some real old AMD was in my first computer, no idea what it was called!
Duron 1.3Ghz.
Athlon XP 2400+
Athlon 64 3000+ (OC to 2.6Ghz)
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (OC to 2.5Ghz, I also used this CPU the longest)
and now the AMD Athlon II X4 640 (Currently OC at 3.6Ghz)
I like my AMD products! No idea why I've never been inclined to try out Intel though.
