Pentium II
Codenamed Klamath the Intel Pentium II 233MHz is introduced on May 7, 1997 and introduced slot 1, a new physical architecture that encased a circuit board within a plastic case. This new development enabled the processor to be easily added and removed. However, previous owners of Pentium motherboard could not upgrade to this new chip unless the motherboard they had also included the slot 1 interface. The Pentium II runs from 233MHz to 450MHz.
This gave me a flashback of the movie 007 Golden Eye ( 1995 ), where the actress named Natalya a programmer/hacker walks into a computer store in Russia and requests for access to computers more powerful than were available at the time. When the Pentium-II came out I was like, hey we are finally catching up to the computers referenced in the movie.
Going to have to see if Netflix has this tonight to watch. Great Movie!
Speaking of which, we are not that far away from the Plasma Rifle referenced in Terminator. LOL
