Likewise - I remember someone walking into art class at school with a computer magazine featuring at 100mhz 486 DX4 on the cover. Triple figures!

- cogman10 5y agoI have to wonder if computer parts are less exciting now because of the lack of generational improvement or the fact that I'm an old fart that can't spend a bunch of time geeking out over the next generation. I really followed computer evolution during the GHz wars. Watching a CPU go from 300Mhz being fast to 2GHz being fast was amazing. Then watching as AMD pulled 1.8GHz parts and kicked the pants off of Intel's 2.5GHz parts was equally incredible to young me. Now I see generation to generation pushing 5->10% improvements and mostly go "meh".
