Your favorite cpu

My favorite is the Novix NC4016. I wrote low level drivers
for it to use with some old XT boards that I connected to
its bus. It is a Forth processor. Once I had the hard drive
working, I could recompile the CMForth in about 12 seconds.
It was about 5K words of code. I'd blow new code with a
programmer that I ran through a home made parallel port.

Intel 8088. It's simple, x86 compatible, and happy to be alive.

Second favorite I'd say is the 486, though the 386 is a close third.
 
my favorite has to be the pentium pro, with the origional gold top pentiums a close second. my first computer i owned was a p90. i still have the cpu somewhere...
