This week marks the 40th anniversary of Intel, the people who likely made the CPU in your computer. To mark the occasion, the people at PC Magazine have put together a pretty comprehensive timeline showing every major generation of Intel processor from the first one to the current Core 2 Quad and Atom series processors. We’ve all used them at some point in our lives, and I remember my first Intel processor was a Pentium II running at a blazing 233MHz. I loved that laptop. What was your first Intel processor? Or which was your favourite? [PC Mag]

Oh wow. My dad purchased our first family Pc back in around 1996. Was a Pentium 100 CPU chip, Win 95, 500mb hdd (i think) and 8meg of ram. Here’s some interesting news, I’m using my little sister’s Pentium 3 Pc right now and the screen is the original Samsung SyncMaster 15GLe from that Pentium 100! These things were built to last. Still has the “Designed for Microsoft Windows 95″ sticker. Ahhh history.
BTW, Macs rule!
