I had a K6/2 back in the day. There was a Pentium 4 machine and then a refurbed HP desktop with a Phenom II X4 in it. I used that until I (perhaps finally) built a machine with a Ryzen 1700x.

I'm not sure where or why I have so many AM4 machines around, but my kids are still playing games fine on machines with a 1st and 2nd gen Ryzen in them.

I just upgraded another to a Ryzen 5 5500. I plan to get a few more years out of it.

The bang for my buck has been pretty high. I don't believe CPUs go obsolete immediately like they used to.
