The collection continues to grow, as of June 2005 we are now over 1450ĬPUs. Specs page to 'reference.' Thats all for now. I think this is needed more then specsĪnd is very much interesting and relevant. I am going to concentrate on making a reference section for collectorsĪnd others who are interested. I've decided to forgo listing specs for every CPU now. They, thankfully, have offset the cost of hosting Generally text based and are content driven (ie they are related to

I have had to include the ads via the Google Adsense program, they are The amount of information now available about older CPUs is staggeringĪnd the camadre of fellow collectors is building.ĭue to the large amount of pictures and bandwidth the site now uses Wow, what a fascinating experience this hasīeen. Its been overĥ years of collecting and it is now hard to find stuff I don't have. On May 12th 2004 the CPU Shack finally passed 1000 CPUs. The CPU Shack went live Januand has been growing ever since. They range in speed from 108kHz to 1.7GHz. (as of 09-13-2004) unique CPUs in the collection, from 66 different In (front and back) ohhh what a tedious job that was. When I had roughly 400 processors I began to scan them


I bought some off of eBay, I got many from old boat anchor computersĪnd many many more were generously donated from people at various forumsĪround the web. Things, so in 1999 I decided to put them together and began collectingĬPUs. I have always been interested in CPUs and collecting In recent months I have sought to aquire samples (often NEW) of modern embedded processors, typically ARM, and MIPS cored, as these are really driving the technology of our age, and while immensely popular, finding them in good shape 'in the wild' is fairly challenging. I am very grateful for those as they greatly have anhanced the museum. In the last year or so I have received many donatuons from individuals, as well as various IC companies. I added the blog as a way to more easily post research articles and other insight into computer archeology as well as post the occasional interesting chip I come across, I still plan to recode most all of the site and have around 4000 new CPUs to add (yes THAT many) I aqm just waiting until I have the resources (financial and time) to build the site to support it. 2011: I haven't updated this page in some time.
