Man, I guess I’m at least middle age now. I remember thinking my first custom build’s processor was definitely gonna have to be one of these brand new badass i7s.

“Though Intel does promise to keep the generation of a chip noted in the codename, i.e. ‘Core 9 15900K’.” [1]

My first PC, custom built, was an Intel 486DX4 100Mhz. 4MB RAM and a 800MB HD. Paid in a currency that doesn’t exist anymore.

Man, I was a teenager, reading the PC magazine ads, wishing I had the money to build a system like this!

Mine was 75MHz and 8MB of RAM. Windows 95 was too heavy but WFW was great.
