Just interested to know what types of CPU people were using and what speed they were. Just wondering if my processor is seriously old now, or if that sort of speed is still the norm :)

This poll isn't supposed to present the entire selection of processors available, so if you're not there, then you're not needed sorry.
 
Athlon 2700+ @2.17GHz for me.

I think my CPU is still probably above average (due to the huge number of people who run really old hardware), but it's obviously nowhere near the cutting edge of modern technology. I'm happy with it though, as I don't do anything which requires outright speed, only a little bit of video editing (and occasionally for testing programs).
 
Are there even P4's out now that are greater than 4.0ghz? I thought the P4 architecture hit the wall?

IIRC, the highest standard clock on a P4 is 3.8GHz. There is, however, a large community of overclockers who continually push the envelope, as it were. Fastest clocks I read about were ~5GHz on a P4 and ~3GHz on an Athlon (although these will probably have been passed now)
 
Oh, yeah, and I have an Athlon XP 2600+ that runs standard at 1.91GHz
 
AMD Athlon 4200+ X2

There should have been multiple choice on this poll...that is my fastest but I still use a 2.67 P4M and a 1.5 P4 and a 800 Mhz P3 (sometimes). Also have a 180 Mhz MMX, but I don't use that.
 
Athlon 64 3500+

Cheap and packs enough punch for todays games. Although, it'll probably need upgrading in the near future.

From everything i've read...everyone's still working on getting a stout 2.9 out of their Ath...Working with both the 4000 and Fx55's...

Pents i don't know about..
 
2500+ Barton @ 1.83Ghz

Highest was 2.3Ghz completely stable aircooled, 2.4 for about 20 minutes before it spat the dummy :(
 
Driftster
what YOUR's got to 2.3? Not bad...did you just get to read the #'s..or did you actually try it out?

How did it go?
Click to expand...

I never really got to try it out very much, SETI times were something like 4.5 hours per work unit on 1.83 and down to nearly 3 hours flat on 2.3.

With my 9800Pro I managed 18,000 @ 2.3 odd on 3DMark2001 and 16,000 @ 1.83 so gaming was helped a bit.

I went back to standard when summer came around because I wasn't keen on the temperatures. It sat no higher then 45c @100% load during the cooler times of year, nearer to 50c @ 100 during summer.

My cpu was locked, so 210x11 got me 2310 stable, 220x11 was 2420 boot into Windows and crash after a while and 230x11 was 2530 with no boot into Windows :(
 
athlon 64 2800+ here

With a good heatsink it should hit 2.2 ghz, I've had it up to almost 2 ghz on the stock heatsink, but load temps were getting pretty high so I'm running stock right now.
 
I don't have my own computer yet, and I'm using the family computers.

We have two family computers, one is a Pentium 4 2.6 ghz, the other is a Athlon 64 3300+.

I'm looking to build my own computer with probably a Athlon 64 3500+ though.
 
I thought a 1.8 = 3.2, it's not exactly double. ;)

My Dad has a 1.83Ghz Pentuim M with is new Laptop. :)
