The days of 2,3,and 486’s were heady days with a new, faster processor coming out every several weeks or few months. I always had to get the newer machine. I loved the AMD chips, cheaper and ran as well as most Intel chips but the AMD chips could be pushed up with higher clock speeds if you were willing to cool the chip. I had a lot of fun with those chips but now my phone will do more than they could even pushed.

I have been holding off upgrading to an I7 from my AMD FX, now I know what I was waiting for.

The Ruzen R7 chips are blowing away the top end Broadwell 8 core chips. And cost half as much. Actually the R7 1700 goes for $329 and the i7 6900K are up around $1000. Let me find a Youtube that shows the Ryzen mult-threading while playing several games. Be back

Not finding the one I wanted but this is a Scottish guy with a thick brogue and he is very good and is analyzing the current issue with Games...

Thats what we did to wrest speed from the processors, fans lots of them, sometimes double processor fans, plus cooling fans inside the case. We had a great tech/partner that would program them to speed them up internally.

Some of the computers we built for us, to program on, we just left the sides of the case off, it helped with cooling!!
