I am blessed to have built a PC using a ... MEK6800D2.

And when I say built; I mean soldered all the parts onto the circuit board!

Programed it in assembly language with only the manual that showed what commands would do.

'Twas amazing what you can cram into only 256 BYTES of ram!

You mean when you were not posting on the FR RF?

Indeed. Apollo Guidance Computer had approximately 64Kbyte of memory and operated at 0.043MHz.

That’s a real home brew computer! ! ! For the last ten years I built - assembled my own but not on your level. My latest two are from a few years ago using G3220 Pentium with 8gb memory and the other w 16gb memory. Today CPUs are down in price for amazing performances while memory is almost double the price. Motherboard prices are the same. I only assemble my desktops.
