486 DX4 100
P200
Duron 750
Tbird 1.33
Tbred 2200
Barton 2500
X2 3800
E6420

Looking back I didn't really notice a difference with the Athlon upgrades I did. The biggest gain I found was the P200 to Duron. I'm probably going to wait a couple of years for my next upgrade around Sandy Bridge time.

That's a rare beastie. The only things I remember that used the 80186 were the RM Nimbus and the BBC Master 512!
