Sometimes I'm totally blown away with how nice people in the retro computer community can be. Honestly I'm speechless!
I've been after a 1Ghz Slot A Athlon for 20 years and then I'm gifted one by one of the kindest people ever
Thank you so much @vswitchzero I'm over the moon 😊

@Gammitin

"AMD 7th Generation Processor"

Apparently this one was built sometime between when they decided not to call it "K7" and when they came up with "Athlon." Interesting...

@PurpleJillybeans it's the very first Argon core, I've owned it since it was brand new in 1999.

@Gammitin Going from around 100MHz to 1GHz happened so quickly. The days when upgrades were really noticable
