[alsenior]

Nice

Have you tryed ebaying it

We tried to got him to do it a while back for charity but he wouldnt have it or he hasn't got round to it.

Mobile Barton 2400+ here. I've considering getting something newer, but never really had much of an incentive to do so.

[Saracen]

I'll stake a claim at the oldest working CPU and system here, though I don't claim it's my main system.

An Apple II Euro, circa 1979.

[Stewart]

That is old. If it is 1979, its older than the cpu in my brain, since that was first booted Dec 2nd 1980.

[Funkstar]

And older than mine by anything from 3 to 15 months, depending one when in 1979 is was produced.

As a teacher my classroom has 27 PC's ranging from 386sx 16 to 486 DX2 66 all with 8 Mb (some 2x4 Mb simms some 4x1 Mb + 1x4 Mb simms) running wfwg 3.11 with a broken pII 266 note book as a print server. Most hard drives are between 40 Mb to 80 Mb.

I'm running an Athlon 64 3200+.

[hitman67]

I got a (none working) Intel i486 from around 1989 IIRC, my main PC is a X2 4200 though so nothing too old.

[Nacrisa]

I came across an old 486 chip recently when tidying up - the heatsink for it is tiny, no more than a centimetre high, and the fan is just as small!

[Ferral]

I have a Pentium 133 on a PC Chips board with AGP slot in the cupboard, still works to my knowledge. Also have a Duron 700 on a board that I know definately still works.

The machine I cobbled together for my wife for DTP stuff is a P2 466 Mhz with 512 ram.

And older than mine by anything from 3 to 15 months, depending one when in 1979 is was produced.

I might still have the invoice, but off the top of my head, I can't be sure. It might even have been 1980.

I 'enhanced' it though. A 16k language card that took it up to 64k, and then a 128k card. I had CP/M on it, and still have the original Apple Pascal compiler. Oh, and Visicalc, Multiplan, etc.

And for those of you that don't know Visicalc is the great grand-daddy for Excel, long before that was a twinkle in Uncle Bill's eye.

[Whalefish]

One P2-400 here (ubuntu), one Pentium 166@200(NT4) and my old faithful craptop Mac Powerbook 520 running at a blistering 25mhz (good enough for text ebooks and irc from bed).

[TheAnimus]

My mail server is using an ARM 750, thats a 40mhz CPU from a little over 10 years ago now.

But it does the job.
