3 x C = Common CPU competition

[Marcin]

Hello,
What do you think : Which cpu is most common cpu ?

I choose Pentium 100 without goldcap. I got about 10 units of them so he had appointment from me

DX2-66 or Pentium 133 I think

In Poland I see next candidate : Intel Pentium II 266. Whole mass of auctions with this cpu for 3 PLN (about 0,80 USD) and nobody want him

[Grampa]

In my oppinion it's the 486DX33. I have about 50pcs of them without ever having looked for them.

[Borris70]

I agree with grampa.

I buy sometimes for goldscrap bigger quantities of chips and the 486DX-33 is the most frequently chip.

LOL yah.

though the most common still in box Xeons are the 450s and 667s

[alvaro84]

The majority of the CPUs I lately see in the scrap desktops comes in socket 478, 775 or 370. Probably socket 478 Celerons are the most common, but I couldn't pick a specific model. LGA775 Celeron D 331 (2.66 GHz) is a good candidate though, I've possibly seen more of it than of any 478.

But it might be as well a local thing

[Chook]

I think it is a local thing. When I was collecting cpus from kerbside rubbish collections, box pentiums were quite common. I hear that they are not that common in other parts of the world.

Probably the most common in the Pentium era for me is the Pentium 100 SU110. Heaps of those I have. Also Pentium 200MMX SL23W.

In the P3 era, 450 SL37C, P3 733 socket 370.
In the P4 era, P4 2ghz Northwood, 3Ghz socket 775.
Talking about Pentium 3 slot 1, it took me a while, but eventually I found one of each speed on kerbside collections, including the 1000/256/100.
