    I do have 939 socket too but it too junked up to use anymore. no body's bothered to format it and clean it up.
    My mother uses an AM2 phenom 9550 everyday on a 780G board oldest and most used system in the house.

    The oldest computer I still have running is an old MSX2 from 1987-1989, can't remember.
    To be honest, it's been some months since the last time I powered it up, but it works ok and can play games etc like the first day.

    In running condition, an old Athlon FX-55 running on a DFI LP UT NF4 SLI-DR with 2x 256 MB Kingston HyperX (Winbond BH-5). Oldest that is actually running is a 2600K on an Asus P8P67 with 1x 2 GB Kingston HyperX Grey. It's just used for internet and email, so no need for more RAM.

    Media center is an Opteron 165 @ 2.6GHz, 3GB PC3200 with an HD4770. Actually plays most modern games acceptably at medium settings. You can get away with high if you run them at 720p.

    An AM386 SX, with 4MB of ram running as a tor proxy but I do have an old VIC-20 that I have not touched in years
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    I regretted throwing away or giving away my old stuff, so I embarked on a quest to see if I could build an old spec PC for less than ?100, using NEW old stock parts. And I did!
    Everything I bought was new and unused, most was even factory sealed. Except for the IDE DVD and floppy which I had.
    Case: Thermaltake WingRS - ?20 (local PC shop)
    PSU: Generic 400W - ?10 (local PC shop)
    Mobo: MSI socket 370 - ?5 (eBay)
    CPU: Celeron 600Mhz - ?5 (eBay) (Sealed box with fan!)
    RAM: 2x Kingston 128Mb 100Mhz - ?6 (eBay)
    Graphics: inno3D GeForce MX4000 64Mb - ?5 (eBay)
    Sound: Generic sound blaster compatible - ?3 (eBay)
    HDD: CF to IDE adapter ?4, 8Gb CF card ?10.....so it technically has a solid state disk!
    Monitor: Dell 15" TFT - ?20 (gumtree) (was new in the box)
    Keyboard/mouse: Gigabyte cheapo box set - ?8 (local PC shop)

    Grand total ?96! For a complete desktop! I installed my old Win98se that I had, and behold the retro gaming goodness!
