One of our work PC's

[Jhadur]

This is one of the PC's used at my place of work to run a rather large forming machine:
137

Does anyone else have super powerful machines like this one at their work? ;D

[kaiowas]

Yeah we had plenty of K6/2s still got a few of them around. Most of them have various specialist ISA cards in which prevent us from upgrading them to something less prehistoric. God knows what we'll do when they start dying.

[Jhadur]

Yep got similar cards in this machine. When it eventually breaks which could be soon if people continue to be stupid with it (eg turning main power to machine off without first shutting down the PC) then it will take a lot of money and time to redo the control system for the line.

[Desmo]

Ah, the K6. Think that was the first AMD I ever bought :grin:

To the best of my knowledge, my old place still has a few 186 based industrial pcs to run soldering equipment :shocked: they've got a few spares for futureproofing ;D

[Garp]

Had a few similar and older at Claranet, but haven't had to deal with quite so old at this job. That said I'm slowly retiring two web-app servers that are something like 7 years old, Xeon 2.8Ghz systems based on the original (Toaster era) E series Prescott architecture.

I have a dual E series workstation sitting in my lounge (because it got ejected from the home office during the refurb) right now. When that's going full whack, you almost need ear defenders!

Only still got it because I haven't got around to decommissioning it yet. Hasn't been turned on for a few years, but will be soon (to see if there's any data on it).

I had a 450 k6/2. It was way faster than the equivalent Intel.

My first computer was a K6 II 400 with 32Mb RAM :D

[Nutcase]

Our first PC was a 486 SX 25. We overclocked it to 33 by changing the crystal :D Then put in a DX2 for a whopping 66Mhz!

First computer was a 70s Intel System Development Kit. But no instructions so never got more than a cursor on it's 7 segment displays.
