QOTW: What was the first CPU you ever purchased?

**Dayks** · 05-09-2017, 10:50 AM

Wow I got into this late compared to a lot of you.

My first (and only) CPU I have bought is the i5 6600k in my current build.

First CPU(s) - a pair of Pentium III @ 800 MHz / 256K Cache / 133 MHz FSB for use with an ABIT VP6 MB.

AMD Duron k7 1200mhz.I still have the scan of the pc build invoice.
I was very happy because i could watch movie rips and play serious Sam and counter strike 1.6.
Very Fast cpu at the time.Outperformed pentium 2 MX at least two times.Then after 2 years the new pentium 3 camed out, which had 1.8ghz and lot of cache, i remember that pentium 3 was very fine with cossacks game.

well according to wiki the amstrad CPC6128 ran on a Zilog Z80A @ 4 MHz.
My first proper PC was a Mesh built around an AMD Athlon 700 / possibly 750 (it came running at 760MHz),
my first self-build used an i3-540.

Probably Z80A 1Mhz after shorting out a ZX81's original one with a faulty expansion.

First separate purchase processor was an 8087 but not sure if that counts as it's a co-processor rather than central processor

**DaMoot** · 10-09-2017, 04:34 AM

AMD 5x86-133 to upgrade a DX2-66 system.
First brand new one I bought would be an Athlon XP 2600+ Barton which I overclocked accidentally by having the board jumpered for 400MHz FSB instead of the 333 it was supposed to run at

**elites2012** · 13-09-2017, 11:39 PM

AMD 586 90mhz

**tweake628** · 14-09-2017, 10:09 PM
