There's a real trend of people using the AMD athlon chips, and even the X2, and then everyone jumped ship to Intel.

I mean, it makes sense that people move to where the performance is. But it's kinda sad that AMD aren't getting competitive chips out there. I don't want to end up paying £500 for a mid-range chip again!

Yup, seems Intel really turned the tables with the Core2 series after a long stint from AMD who held the crown for 'best bang per £'.

Generally have a number of systems on the go but those are the CPU's I've run in my main desktop or internet PC. Plenty of others in builds for friends over the last 20 years! ... I'm old too.

Edit.... One of the early PC's was a Sinclair PC200 ... basically an amstrad 8086 in an amiga style black case. Built in FDD and a lift up flap for installing 8 bit cards which poked out of the top! It had a built in TV modulator for gaming! ... give the beast a google.
