Microprocessor Museum of CPU History for Intel CPUs, AMD Processor History, Cyrix Microprocessors, Microcontrollers and EPROM's

Description

I have always been interested in CPUs and collecting things, so in 1999 I decided to put them together and began collecting CPUs. I bought some off of eBay, I got many from old boat anchor computers and many many more were generously donated from people at various forums around the web. When I had roughly 400 processors I began to scan them in (front and back) ohhh what a tedious job that was. I now have 1188 (as of 09-13-2004) unique CPUs in the collection, from 66 different manufactures. They range in speed from 108kHz to 1.7GHz. and span 31 years of computer history.

On May 12th 2004 the CPU Shack finally passed 1000 CPUs. Its been over 5 years of collecting and it is now hard to find stuff I don't have. (though there is a ton). Wow, what a fascinating experience this has been. The amount of information now available about older CPUs is staggering and the camadre of fellow collectors is building.

Due to the large amount of pictures and bandwidth the site now uses I have had to include the ads via the Google Adsense program, they are generally text based and are content driven (ie they are related to whats on this site). They, thankfully, have offset the cost of hosting this page.
