I remember cracking open one of those early Slot 1 Celeron 300HMz to add heat sinking to the cache RAM chips and get it to 450MHz.

Those old ones remind me of RAM Sticks.
How things have changed.

Well, some of them are even older than that, some are from the 80's but I had to compare them to the 90's CPUs ...

OMG, I had one of those crappy old P3-on-a-card chips
Totally shit
Turned me to AMD for years until the Core i7 came out

 

[edwilson]

you know you are getting old when you remember buying and installing these new and still have most of them in a box somewhere. (sigh)

Almost same here but for me it was the Core2Duo that I am still using but will replace with an i7 930 or something like that

Impressive... can Tuan or anyone else at Tom's confirm accuracy?

 

[nforce4max]

Pentium 2 tranistor count 5.5 million
Pentium pro 5.5 million
Pentium 1 3.1 million (non mmx)
Pentium overdrive 3.1 million
I386 275k
486 1.18 million
Pentium 3 9.5 million

You guys and gals can find the rest.

Dear lord the sadness of those old Cartridge types.

Memory lane for some

As for the the part ware I named the cpus that was easy right from memory.

 

[Glorian]

Looks like all the chips since the first Pentiums, my first comp had a p54c 75mhz, used nothing but intel since.

You need to make a special award now for nforce

I still have a working PC with Pentium MMX 166MHz

And thats definitely over 9000!!!!

Does anyone remember the "Turbo" Button?
