Xeon X3350 (same as Q9450 but was $50 cheaper when both came out)
MacBook Pro with a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo
Lenovo Y550 with a Core 2 Duo T6500 @2.1 GHz
Athlon XP 2800+ in the basement
And for S&Gs, I might try to get FSO running on my P2 450 with dual Voodoo 2s in SLI (that's right, the _original_ SLI *****es)

Btw, I call shenanigans on the 3500+ XP, never was such a chip was there?  I mean maybe there's a 3200+ overclocked or something, but they never sold a 3500+ XP chip I didn't think.

I have one of those historical original Phenoms which supposedly nobody bought. A Phenom 9950 overclocked to 3,0 GHz to be precise. It's plenty fast for everything I do.

Using a Core2 6600 at 2.4Ghz, should be upgrading soon though :)

She serves me well and her name is Tanya . . .

Could you elaborate on that? If it has two cores it's not a Q6600 but an E6600.

it's not a q6600 as that runs @ 2.4ghz

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ ( 3100 MHz )

My last processor was 6000+ like yours, but I recall it not being 3.1GHz. Maybe it goes by powers of 2 like bytes and that means maybe you rounded off 3072 to the nearest 100. This says 3.0GHz: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/463/1/. My processor before that was the ancient Athlon 2600+ and before that was the even more ancient Pentium III 500MHz, though I looked up data on P3 before to compare it to the 6000+ and found that 500MHz is faster than a normal P3.

Core 2 Quad at 2.4 Ghz, great speed. Now only if I had the ram for 64-bit Windows 7, it would be excellent.

I thought that was still under the Core brand.

maybe its not an xp, i really don't remember what it is, i just know its a single core 64 bit 2.2 ghz amd cpu with a 3500+ designation. it sucks so much i let my mom use it. its all x86(-64) to me.

Nothing that fancy. It's simply that there are different versions being sold with same product name. Windsor versions of Athlon 64 X2 6000+ are 3000 MHz (processor numbers ADX6000IAA6CZ and ADA6000IAA6CZ), while Brisbane version of Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is 3100 MHz ( ADV6000IAA5DO (G2) ).

Aside from clock speed difference, Windsor versions have 2x1024 KB L2-cache, while Brisbane version has 2x512KB L2-cache. So as a whole, Windsor variant would probably be the better CPU in complex tasks that require a lot of instructions to be used, while on simpler processing the Brisbane variant would be a whopping 3.33 % faster...

So yeah, the Windsor would probably be better as a whole, but the Brisbane version was pretty much the only one available at the time at decent price, and it works well enough for me.  :p

Then it's Athlon 64, the XP line was all 32bit only stuff.

i always did find amd's naming conventions confusing. im sure there was a time i understood them, but ive been an intel whore for the past several years and that information was no doubt erased by pot smoke and replaced by motorhead lyrics.

also it turns out that suckey intel laptop was actually a suckey amd laptop. an xp 2800+ i think.

If memory serves there was officially a 3500+ chip which was the 3200+ which had been stressed by AMD to make sure it could cope with 3500+ speeds (probably about 3ghz in real speed) but that was a long time ago i think around about the time I got my 64
