Coming back to the PC itself, it includes signatures from other AMD executives of that era, such as Mark Papermaster , Rajan (Raj) Naik , Devinder Kumar , Colette LaForce , John Byrne , and Darrell Ford . That seems like way too much effort for someone trying to fake a collectible. Therefore, even though we can't be certain, this is one of the coolest pieces of PC industry memorabilia, one that shows the intersection between business and engineering.

wakuwaku currently goes for over $1,000 Didn't you learn to ALWAYS check your links before you hit submit. Unless you are using AI that is. Amirite? Reply
rockerrb3 That's pretty cool! I bet that thing may be worth some money now. Reply
FunSurfer This PC's value will be $1,000,000 in about 30 years, along with this GTX 1080 Ti that Jensen Huang just signed few days ago… Reply

In reality, even a top of the line AMD FX-9590 is basically a sidegrade at best to an i5-6600K. Reply

Thunder64 Probably never used because he went and bought an Intel PC. Only half joking. I mean I would. I'd hold on to it and be grateful for it but keep it like a golden watch, not as an everyday computing item. Reply
Joomsy FunSurfer said: No, because an original Macintosh with Steve Jobs signature is worth quite a lot of money today. That's likely due to Jobs's cultural relevance. This is literally the first time I've ever heard this CEO's name, and I'm in my 30s, as well as a tech nerd. Even normies know who Steve Jobs is, though. Reply
