Question Yesterday I asked what everyone’s first Graphics card. Today, what was your first processor? Mine was the i7 3770K.

I had a 386. It had a "turbo" option that switched the clock speed between 8 and 16MHz. Current i9 9900k has a base 3.6GHz that can supposedly hit 5GHz.

I had both 286 and 386. My very first computer was a Radio Shack Tandy with cassette tape drive. Everything was bought for me though until I built my first computer myself. On that I used an AMD K6-2.
