Your Computer History?

[Prodigy]

It goes something like this...
Commodore 64 -> Commodore Amiga 500 -> 486 66Mhz -> Intel Pentium 166Mhz -> Intel Celeron 400Mhz -> Intel Pentium III 800Mhz -> Athlon Thunderbird 1.4Ghz -> Athlon XP "Barton" 3000+ -> ???

Seems like Mhz's keep on doubling... ;)

zx80, zx81, spectrum 16>48k, atari st520, 386 sx40, 486 /dx60, intel 90mhz,166>233mmx,all then only amd inc k6-2 500 plus, really nice, duron xp's ,barton's then winchester 300/939 , most of these where new builds (much to my wife's despair)

my favourite was the k6 2 with the extra cache felt like pulling up against intel at last had 3 of those ... ianf

Good topic:
zx81, BBC Model B (tape, upgraded to dual floppy drive!), Acorn A5000, 486 100, k6-2 300, k6-2 500 (briefly), Athlon 1Ghz, Athlon 64 3200+ (939).

The k6-2 300 was a disappointing piece of kit, a year or two in, didn't have the power behind it to play divxs, and wouldn't OC in the slightest.

Ignoring the 500 (which I only had for a couple of months) I've been approximately tripling my raw processor power with every upgrade. In the past few years that mantra has saved me 2 generations of processor (Tbird and XP), unfortunately it now means I'll have to wait for a 10GHz rated processor to come out before my next purchase!
