Spring Cleaning - Ah Nastalgia...
Spring Cleaning - Ah Nastalgia...
I had to make some room to store more junk so I had to throw out a motherboard and CPU I've hung on to for at least 14 years. This was the CPU that got me interested in computers. Before it I had a Gateway Pentium 166MHz then a Celeron 350MHz but I never really spent time on a computer or cared that much for it. So in a way I can thank this CPU and MoH:AA for getting me started. Care to venture any guesses to what this bad boy is.
I have a better picture with all the info etched onto the CPU but I'll leave the blurry one up.

Edit: Oops, forgot the K7's were slot only. Unless you ripped apart the slot cpu and popped this out it has to be at least Thunderbird.
I should remember this, I had one of the first slot A k7's...
Another edit for explanation: It has to be at least a thunderbird level as it is branded 'athlon' anything before that was am386/am486/k5/k6 and not an athlon IIRC.

You are correct, T-Bird 1.2GHz! I beat and abused this CPU until I bought my first DIY computer (Northwood). Before I tossed the socket 462 motherboard it was living in earlier I could've powered it up.

I still have a couple 386's in service, granted they are hooked to CNC machines, but they still work. I'll be a little sad with they crap out finally, mainly I have would have to get modern equipment to talk to some old CNC controllers.

Re: Spring Cleaning - Ah Nastalgia...
Dont have many pictures of old crap I have laying around customers but for some reason have this one.
Next time I head to one of my customers in the city ill snap a pic of the old 5MB hard drive I found sitting on a shelf from the very early 80's. About 7 or 8 years ago one of our customers cleaned out a corner of their warehouse and got rid of an ancient hard drive that was literally the size of a washing machine and used these giant platters that were replaceable. Getting the call of "we dont need this anymore do we?" made my boss cringe a bit.
