This was brought about by the quad core thread. I would say that I have my current PC since 1995 (or 6 can't remember). However when I think about it, there is nothing in this PC that exists from back then.

So in actual fact I have probably only had this PC for no more than 3 years. Yet in my mind there is still this perception that despite the numerous upgrades it is still the one I had way back then.

in hindisght this looks a completely useless thread.

the only existing original parts in my machine (from 1989 time) are the 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" floppy drives :cool:

processors started at : (from 1984)
6502
286
486DX2 66
Pentium 133 (to play quake SUPER FAST BABY)
Duron 450Mhz
Duron 1.3Ghz
Pentium 4 2.4Ghz
to CURRENT (since 2004) Pentium 4/HT Extreme Edition 3.4Ghz

beat that for a geek post.

jongi, consider it a retro thread for us oldies to nostalgia when PCs were PCs and Games were f**king awesome.

Jongi

good god take the 5 1/4" out. Had to look to see if I still had the 3 1/2". Looks like I turfed that for an extra hard drive.

Kolin

Kolin

About 14 months. Looking to upgrade soonish, probably to the maximum processor that the Motherboard will support. I've got 2 Gig of Ram at the moment, may look to double that as well.

Mind you, I only use it for the internet and FM.

come on Kolin. We all know you could have them on USb or the harddrive.

Speaking of nostalgia it leads me to remember having to swap something like 15 floppies for PC Tools. Oh the good all days.

Kolin

iirc AutoCad R14 had about 22 floppies for installation.
