Still on a P4 Northwood here (2.8GHz). Hopefully that will change this autumn...
I'm normally a couple of years behind on games anyway (unless they're multiplayer ones) so I haven't needed cutting edge quite yet. I buy them on sale and never get around to playing them lol. Still haven't touched COD2, Quake 4, FEAR....
AMD 64 X2 4800+ (Socket 939) Toledo in my main rig
Intel Pentium 3 500MHz Coppermine in my old laptop
Intel Celeron 366MHz in my oldest PC
E6300 as i was poor at the time and was by far the best i could get my hands on last September
Ah the good old Celery.Originally Posted by dfisher1
Still got a BP6 with a pair of 433MHz chips kicking around in a cupboard somewhere.
Hmm whoops, think I may have voted the wrong one. The A64 3200+ (2GHz, Clawhammer), /w single channel memory controller is 754 isn't it, not 939... Mybad
.
Upstairs I have a Socket 7 (i think?) AMD 266MHz CPU, which is strange because I still have the motherboard manual and for supported CPUs it says Intel up to 200MHz and no mention of AMD (this was a compy my family bought long long ago, from uuh..edit: Hi-grade was the name). Another strange thing is, when I dissected it, to my amusement 2 pins are bent and have never plugged into the socket, yet the comp still worked/works fine, albeit a little slowly.
Also I think you'll find this funny: When we bought the computer, I was just as clueless about computers as my parents -- and we didn't buy one of the PCs in the magazine that said on the screen "Intel Inside" because we thought that was internet, and we didn't want it back then.

E6600 and opty170
E6420 @ 3.6ghz 1.45vCheap and excellent clockers
The vast majority are either 939 or Core2Duo, and from those that have a 939 it is often because it was the best to get at the time, and they are planning to get a Core2Duo soon...
AMD 2200+ - feel that performance! Does a G3 500Mhz count as well?
Soon to be an E6600 I suspect, I may feel the difference...
AMD 64 3500 - skt 939 - although eyeing Core2Dou up atm and sorely tempted - don't need it as my PC meets all my current needs, but i just have that upgrade itch....
Main rig E6420
Shuttle Xp2400 barton
Laptop XP2000M
nice to see Core2 is rockin! I got a 6600 i can overclock to over 3 i think but i am waiting until the games start to slow down and then i will push the clock. Until then i don't see the point.. It runs AA at full res my monitor can support and BF2142 at full res.. on my old setup it was C**P
I voted for Core 2 Duo even though I don't have one. Upgrading next week
AMD Athlon 64 3700 s754.
Done me proud for the last couple of years, soon be time to go quad core.
939 amd 3000...going to get an update any day now.

PIII! Poor me, there's no such option. Does that mean something?
