and now my i7 3.06 the difference is astounding.
 
Pentium 1 166MHz
AMD Ksomething 400MHz
AMD Duron 800
AMD Athlon 1400
AMD Athlon 2000
AMD Athlon 2500 Mobile :cool:
AMD Athlon64 3200+
AMD Athlon64x2 4200+
AMD x2 550BE (now tricore)

Wait, you wanted just the first one? :p
 
First one I ever had experience was a 386DX when my uncle walked me though building my first PC when I was 9, however it was an old CPU by then. Then built a PC with a 486, think it was a DX model.

First PC I was bought(well, for the family) was a AMD K6-2 233MHz based IBM machine. I remember after a while wanting to overclock it, had to do it using jumpers on the motherboard, fun times haha :D.

Then the first one I bought myself was an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 800MHz bought from OcUK many many years ago. Looking back, I don't think OcUK had existed THAT long. After a quick Google of reviews for the Thunderbird, it was reviewed in around 2000, which seems around right, as I was half way though high school when I bought all that stuff. Been shopping here a decade now :D lol.
 
This baby was my first. Pong, Pinball & Adventure were some of the games I could play on this powerful li'l beast.



My parents bought it for me with inheritance money and I was the most popular kid on the street! Long live dead people...

I also went through ZX81 (1k with the membrane keyboard), ZX Spectrum 16k & 48k (rubber keyboard), Vic20, Commodore 64 (I even got the 1541 disk drive that was slower than the tape deck for loading but it saved rewinding a tape all the time) and an Amiga 500.
But I consider my first PC proper to be a 386SX-33 which ran Doom like a dream until I saw how it ran on my mates DX4 100.
 
gee thats going back a while

after my time "playing" on the atari 2600 i graduated to the cpc 6128 ( alan sugar owes me big time for this) my first pc was a 286 sx 16 witch cost me more than a grand and my uncle felt sorry for me cause i got conned on this bought me a 386dx 40 with 4 meg of ram, then at uni i bought a p120 with 16meg ram (cost me my entire student loan which i am still paying off at £5 a month) then a p200mmx and then my first amd at 500mhz on the same mobo as the intel 200mmx. upgraded to athlon 1600xp then to a p4d dual core at 2.2mhz current system 6 years old looking to upgrade but cann't decide on new spec.

at work i have used risc processors (first 64 bit) amongest other things the used to buy so much cr@p just because it sounded good, we had dual monitor support on some really dodgy graphics cards to but at the time i had two 21"crts which cost the company about 2k
 
Pentium 100 Mhz
AMD K6 2 500Mhz
AMD Athlon something
AMD Athlon x 2 1800+

Currently Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3Ghz

Next.....Sandy Bridge clocked to infinity!!!!!
 
Well for me, I was using my dad's old Pentium for a while, until he upgraded to a PII 350mhz for the both of us and then began the unforgettable computing/gaming experience.

After that, moved to a Celeron 667mhz which was horrible. Then, Duron 950mhz. Finally, Athlon XP 1900 and 2600, Athlon 64 3400, Core 2 Duo E6400 and now my Q6600. If I am honest, I had the most fun with the Intel cpus. But then I missed the whole Athlon Thunderbird generation which I could never afford, but could see was amazing at the time!
