My first home-built PC used an Athlon processor, for a while they had the best price/performance chips out there. !BBH

A Pentium II based machine was the last new desktop I purchased. Since then, I have built my own. Most have been AMD based starting with a Duron->Athlon XP->Athlon 64->Athlon 64 X2->Phenom->Phenom II->Athlon FX. Then I switched back briefly to Intel with a Core I7-5820K then it was back to AMD again with a couple of different Ryzen models. It's been quite a few years since my last build though. My laptops have always been Intel based but there haven't been that many...Pentium M to an i7-9850H. I've had a number of work laptops over the years too but they've all been Intel based as well.
