I think I was just late to the PC world, late 90's. It was very expensive before then, closest I came was a 48K Spectrum!

It all got a bit of a blur in the early 2000s. I was upgrading myself and others but also taking junked stuff and castoffs to build PCs to run seti@home (before global warming made it big). Had about 4 on the go at home, at one stage. Anyone need a load of old BNC network cables from THAT setup?

Always been mainly AMD. The Pentium 3 1KHz shouldn't really count because I got it to run using a slot to socket adaptor, and only actually gotting working years later when trying with above stock voltages, just before junking it.

Recently had a clear out... dumped loads of old CPUs in the 'electrical' recycling at the local tip, together with loads of memory from 1 MB FPM sticks to 1GB DDR-1 sticks. All together... must have cost me thousands, over 25 years or so.
 
Pre p166 I actually had an thick laptop maybe 3 inch thick with a thick bezel and black and white screen with i windows 3.1 not sure what khz or mhz it was … I also had an Olivetti with windows 1995 but system not really launched for 1995
My uncle installed it on the Olivetti.
After that I had:

P 166
PIII 800
Athlon 2800+ Dual core
Core2 Duo T5750
AMD Phenom x6 1100T Blk Edit.
Intel 4670k

Now looking to go 7700X soon.

2500k

The system is getting really long in the tooth now.... but somehow paired with a 1080Ti on a ultrawide screen its not causing any problems. The benfit of water cooling stuff the first time is its a ball ache to take apart and replace hence the 2500k :)
