The worse CPU that you ever occuped

[.:\dGh/:.]

That's right.

For me, de first Celeron in a cybercafe. Really slow, slow slow slow!! you needed 5 minutes to change from paint to IE, and viceversa.

Celeron never more.

[ingentingmendeg]

pentium 2

[oasked]

Hmmmm....

Well all the older CPUs are going to be slowest, but I would have to say the AMDXP 2100+.

It was good enough for stock speed, but it was hot and didn't overclock at all (but that could have been the board).

My AMD64 3000+ Winchester was pretty bad in terms of overclocking, but again that was decent at stock, and up to 2.2Ghz.

My BEST cpu has to be my current Venice. :D

[Plague_oc]

pentium 2 as well, or something like MMX whichever it was it sucked

[mtx]

My venice right now. Wont go above 2.4 :(

[Disposibleteen]

Whatever CPU was installed in my old Amiga back in the day.

[shumway]

One of the worst would have to be my old 2.4 celeron (400fsb) :(

[Mr. Manka]

my 1995 Pentium 90mhz
and second is my 1.8 P4 wilamette
that thing couldnt clockn for crap

[nn_step]

1.8Ghz Celly, I Hated it so much that I spend $750 on some C4, primer, and det cord and tried to spend it to Hell.. But I only managed to send it to the Moon...

[mtx]

Man Im STILL dissatisfied with my CPU.

I had one of those defective K6s. (I acctually bought it because it was defective and I had never seen one before)

I had a mechanical sample 3.2 Gallatin that did around 2.6GHz with R404.

I had a 3000+ Barton that would never boot with more than 1.4V

A 1.13GHz retail Coppermine that didn't want to break ~1050MHz.


I think that's all of it.

Pentium 4 B 3.06ghz...Definitely the worst chip I ever owned. Thing ran hot, even under an xp-90, would barely budge an inch on overclocking(it *barely* benched at 3.12), and got smoked by it's replacement(a 2.6C) at stock(the 2.6c also oc'ed 200mhz higher!)! It's *THE* chip that made me go A64, and unless conroe is gold, I'm not going back to intel for a long long time.

Man Im STILL dissatisfied with my CPU.


same here i want/need like a 5ghz venice :D

[Fresh Daemon]

I had a Cyrix 150+. It ran far too hot, even at stock speeds, and after a few months the L2 cache burnt out and the chip would only run for 2 minutes at most unless I disabled the L2 in the BIOS. Never again.

[Tech^Cellfish]

Dual P3 (1x 450 and 1x 500). The system behaved VERY odd, windows and quake engine games worked in SMP. Nothing else. But as any dual user know.. the same speed on both CPU's will solve the problem.

The K6's are the slowest I've ever been using. Glad I never owned one.

[i found nemo]

socket 7 @ 266mhz from 200 stock :D 333 was max, then it burnt out

[Gibson]

P4 2.0

[BugsBMD]

well the slowest cpu that I had was what ever was in my keypro2 (pre HD computer).
the worst cpu that I had was a Via Cyrix 333mhz.

[alexio]

AMD K6 233mhz. Couldn't listen to music without stutters when I was browsing the web :(

I think it has 32KB L2 cache, LOL.

[don_vercetti]

my first CPU; an athlon xp 2200+ T'Bred A, that need 2v for 2.2ghz. I then moved to an 1800 DLT3c that did 2.5ghz with 1.7v, that was far more like it.
