Yes but it's floppy drive was only 3" it must have felt so inadequate compared with the 5 1/4" drives those "PC's" where using:p
Click to expand...

ahem, a truly floppy floppy as I recall was that 5.25 inch
the 3" compact was 'ard and the precursor to the 3 1/2 of the PC era.
 
I'll not list them all but I'll say that the biggest leap I ever had was going from a K6-2 550 to Duron 800@1GHz, the difference was astonishing. :D

Atari games console thing cant remember the model

1986 Commodore 64
1989 Atari ST

1999 - P3 450 slot 1
2000 - P3 1GhZ
2001 - Athlon 1300
2002 - Athlon 1800 Thunderbird
2003 - Athlon 2200+ XP Skt A
2003 - Athlon 2500+ XP Skt A
2003 - Athlon 2500+ mobile
2005 - Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego S939
2008 - Intel C2D 7200

As you can see I really cant be bothered with the upgrade merry-go-round in the last few years.

The most i've been impressed with was the A64 3700+

Amiga 500

PC History

P1 133 (can't remember exactly)
P3 800
Athlon 1800
Athlon 2500 Barton
P4 3.0
Athlon64 3000 socket 939
Athlon64 4200 Dual core socket 939
Intel Q6600

I have built many more for friends etc but only included mine.

I try to keep up to date but not to the point of having the other half kill me, most of the time now I try to get every last bit of life out of a system before I have to do a full build again.

My last system including upgrades lasted 3 years, hopefully I can bleed about the same out of this one lol.

Yes I am old, 37 & still gaming :P
 
My Main Rig: P3 500mhz > P3 1Ghz > P4 1.6Ghz > P4 3Ghz > A64 X2 4400+ > Q6600 B3 > Q6700 G0

Secondary Rig: Cyrix 266Mhz > Athlon 800Mhz > Athlon 1.4Ghz > P4 3Ghz Sold

Uni Rig: E6400 > Q6600 G0

Media Centre: CeleronD 420 > E6400

That goes as far back as I can remember :)
