Glad I'm not the only one here who remembers computing in 1993  and a 486 no less, though I'm jealous of your 66MHz - I think those all came with a heatsink?

It had a heatsink, although nothing like what we would call a heatsink today. I think passive heatsinks were still viable in those days.

Sounds about right - I just remember when I first saw a DX2 in a friends machine I was jealous of both the double speed of my 33 MHz and his cool blue-ish processor (didn't realize at the time that it was just a heatsink stuck to the CPU)

Might be impossible to capture it all, but here it goes:

 

-8088 @ 4.77mhz, threw an XT together from parts in 1994 when I was 10, started this hobby with computers

-486DX4 100mhz

-133mhz K5

-233mhz Cyrix (POS)

-350mhz K6-2

-600mhz Duron

-Athlon XP 1800+

-Pentium III 1.2ghz

-Some cheap Pentium 2.4hz eMachines, 478 socket I believe

-Pentium 524 3.06ghz single-core, finally made it to 64-bit in 2007

-C2D E7400 2.93ghz

-Phenom II x6 1035t 2.6ghz (?)

-Athlon x4 870k 3.9ghz

-i5 7600k  at 4.4ghz

-Ryzen 7 2700x

 

There were a lot of other things in there, but I cannot remember them all.

I started typing all this out, but got tired halfway through.

 

Got a few OEM systems as a kid (Tandy 286, compaq 486sx2, ibm k6-2/266)

 

First one I assembled with own money was a p3-450, 440bx, dual voodoo2s

 

There's been a shitload between then and now, about half Intel half AMD.

1st (~2000) - Intel 386

2nd (2005) - Pentium II 266 

3rd (2008) - Pentium 4 2.4Ghz(Northwood)

4th (2009) - Dual Core E5200

5th (2009) - Core 2 Duo E7500

6th (2012) - Phenom II 965

7th (2017) - Ryzen 7 1700

I'd include 2 that my parents got for me, but I was too young and cannot recall. Both were 2nd hand systems and the 2nd one had some sort of AMD Athlon in it. Anyways, here goes what I've purchased myself:

• AMD Athlon II X2 250 (2010) <- my first ever "pc" I've bought myself with my own money (PC in quotes, as I purchased some of the parts for upgrade and reused some from previous pc).
• AMD Pentium II X4 960 BE (2012) <- got more money and could upgrade CPU to a 3 year old AMD quad core. Oh the joy
• Intel Core i7-4700HQ (2014) <- first job out of school and could afford decent laptop
• Intel Core i7-6700HQ (2017) <- previous laptop died in flames, but still not ready to switch back to proper desktop - a decision I've regretted ever since
• AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (2019) <- finally back in desktop space and couldn't be happier

Same problem. Can I just copy the list? it would make my life easier. Although, Maybe a third or so wasn't in a daily driver..... lol.
