Don't laugh.  My first PC was 16 MHz.

My first PC was a An Intel DX2-66 , then i upgraded the cpu to a 486/DX 100 .
I still have about 60 old cpu's, just trying to workout how to remove the gold from the pins

[sam]

mine was probably fairly slow, depends do you count an atari 65XE as a PC??

As for all though old CPU's would make a great modern museum piece, or maybe that's just me being a geek. In fact a museum with interactive displays to show children how computing has developed over such a short period of time would be very interesting.

Not the Tandy one, but I have worked my way through 8086, 8026, 8036sx, 8036, 80486, every step in the Pentium chain and a couple of AMDs.
