Fun Fact - IIRC, The Turbo Button was intended to slow down the processor for older programmes that developed their timings based on the processor clock speed rather than the RTC, so would run too fast on a higher speed processor.

Right, ok on that feature list, but it better also add fully moddable offline mode. It's not like there's much effort involved either. They just add Elite Dangerous: Dedicated Server as a separate download in Steam, together with their admin tools, and I can do the rest.
I had a CyrixThey were quite slow in comparison to Pentiums.
It was pretty much Quake that killed off Cyrix from a home perspective. One of my mates had one, whilst I had a 133mhz desktop. His processor was meant to be faster but mine slaughtered his.

Yep, awful chips! I was quite fond of the Athlon K6/K6-2s, and stuck with AMD for the Athlon 1400+
From the age of 16 my daughter always brought very filthy creatures home with her, I could get rid of a few of them in the last 3 years
I had a few of them they are still very ...decorative, when you put them on the wallI had a Cyrix
I think I should wipe off the dust at some point
They were quite slow compared to anything clockwork...I had a Cyrix
Adding to the goal
Oooh - that's like an I-Spy book of processors. Just need to put a checkbox under each processor, and I can have hours of fun hunting through my loft for them.
Well, it's something to do on a rainy Wednesday
Most of mine (which are not sitting in a retro pc for gaming) have a additional hole in them and double as keyring
One didn't get a Cyrix because it was fast though, one got a Cyrix because it was dirt cheap compared to Intel.I had a Cyrix
It's a shame there's no 'love' button on this forum. That's just majestic.
Whilst on this nostalgia trip - I started thinking "what did I have before my 486 / PC".
Turns out it was an Atari ST - which is still sat on a shelf in my Office - and still works - Well it did a year ago when I last fired it up for a bit of retro gaming.
Ah - happier, simpler times

My first C64 still comes out of it's corner sometimes for a game or some nostalgia - I have a serial to WLAN bridge on it and play telnet based MUDs sometimes....
971... you guys are slacking this week
here's a missing cat poster to get things moving, if anyone knows the whereabouts of the cat let me know

Good afternoon thread lunatics. How are we all doing this fine evening?
I'm impressed. On My ST, I've replaced the Internal Floppy Drive with an SD drive - All my old games on one tiny card, and damn fast to loadAt least someone else who has their first computer sitting on a shelf

(My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81, then a ZX Spectrum, Atari800, then the ST - which shows my age
). Sadly the only one left working is the Atari ST
No wonder nobody finds it.971... you guys are slacking this week

Mislabeling it as a cat strictly excludes the dog I see in the window and on the pic.

It simulates the old systems in hardware on a chip level, quite interesting stuff for me
