My dad built our first windows 95 computer using a Cyrix chip. I can only assume it was a 6x86 from reading this article. We had so many issues with it that we eventually replaced it with an intel-based HP. But in those days we were upgrading from 133MHz to 350MHz in the span of about a year and a half (ca. 1997). By the time I built my first computer in college, the Athlon XP was breaching 1GHz, triple the clock speed in another 3 years time. Fast times with “slow” computers. But it was sure fun to feel these major leaps in computing practically every year.
