The Pentium Pro is by far the CPU I remember being the most surprised about, and I was an engineer at Intel when it was released. Such an amazing design and manufacturing technique, and 200Mhz with 256 or 512k L2 cache! That seemed like such a huge cache at the time. Performance on video codecs with some tweaks was a 2x jump as well. Funny enough I still have a working Pentium Pro 200 system. good times!

- sponaugle 3y agoYea, It was surprising how many years after that the perfect spec developer station was a Pentium Pro, Mach 64 graphics card, monochrome card with mono monitor for WinICE, and of course Windows NT 4.0.
