What was your first ever CPU?

[setter]

Amd athlon 64 s939 4000. Followed by an intel e6600, q9600, q9550 and my current i7 920 do.

 

[Troezar]

100MHz something, not sure as it was in an old Compaq I bought for £100 to play around with. Theory was if I broke it it wouldn't be the end of the world. Ever since then I've had AMD CPU's, the next may well be Intel i5 2500K

 

[Overlag]

Was it worth it? Why not just go 1200 to 4400? I'd say a CPU is only worth considering if it at least tipples CPU performance.

overclocking trying to find the best processor. most of those CPU's were sub £100.

the X2 4400 was the longest CPU ive owned (and most expensive at £550ish), from 2004 till 2010

 

[Jokester]

Mine was a P90.

 

[Yrkoon]

a celeron 366 was in my first comp

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

Pentium 4 3Ghz 775 was in my first PC.

 

[andy_mk3]

Pentium Pro (133mhz?) .. I was only about 6-7 at the time if that though.
Then AMD Athlon, 1.4Ghz IIRC.

 

[bloodhunter]

My first ever CPU was a 486DX 75mhz (i think) lol. Did not know anything about PC's then and the hard drive was a whopping 520mb. It had 2mb onboard graphics.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

My first PC CPU was a 386SX20 but the first one I put in my own motherboard was a DX266 which cost me £340.

At work it was a 386 machine....can't remember the exact spec now. For my own home computer it was a P166 MMX.

Although I guess actually it was the Zilog Z80 in my ZX Speccy
