Commodore 64
386sx - 33MHz
486dx4 - 120MHz
PentiumII - 266MHz
PentiumIII - 733MHz
Athlon 1800+
Athlon 64 3000+
Core 2 Duo e6550 @ 3.15GHz

My folks bought the C64 and 386, I paid half of the 486 and PII, and rest all by myself 😛
 
PII 233MHz, P4 2.66GHz, (those were family PCs), Celeron M 1.5GHz(my first), 3700+ Skt754 (my first build), 6000+ and PowerPC 1.5GHz in my PowerBook. :)
 
Funny one,

Vic-20
Commodore 64
386-33mhz (can't tell which one exactly)
486DX
Pentium 133mhz
Pentium 233mhz MMX (OC to 262.5mhz, first OC ever!!!!!)
Pentium 3 733mhz
Pentium 4 Northwood 1.8 (OC to 2.4) Until last february it was in my brother PC
Pentium 4 Northwood 3.0GHZ Now belong to my father
C2D E6600 (OC to 3.0GHZ) Still in use by me!

Edit: Forgot my Celeron 370 "Dothan" laptop cpu at 1.5GHZ, 1Mo L2, still used even tough slow
 
1)Unknown 386SX 33Mhz
2)AMD 5x86 133Mhz
3)Intel Celeron 300A
4)Intel Celeron 433 and Celeron 700 (2 systems)
5)AMD Athlon 700Mhz Slot A while still keeping the Celeron 700.
6)AMD T-Bred Athlon XP 1700 summed to be the 3rd system
7)AMD Athlon XP 2500 while keeping the XP 1700 system. Bye bye Intel
8)AMD Athlon 64 2800 754 + Athlon 3000 939 + K6-2 laptop
9)AMD Athlon 64 X2 AM2 while keeping the 939 system and the lappy

Today:

2x Athlon 64 X2 4400,
1 Intel Pentium 3 700 as server,
2xIntel P3 in laptops
1xK6 2 in a third laptop.

Going Phenom B3 to upgrade both A64 X2, maybe I'll need yet a new system, probably going Q6600 or Q9300 for heavy processing.
Keeping all lappies, except the K6-2 as is not serving me that well anymore.

Hmmm... I didn't have my own PC up until a while ago, but here is all my pcs anyway :):

1) AMD K6 200 MHz Windows 95 I believe. No Games. Lemmings Maybe. And maybe Jazz Jackrabbit 2.
*Insert huge gap in computing*
3) AMD Duron 700 MHz Windows 98. Starcraft, Outlaws.
2) AMD Duron 600 Mhz (Had to get rid of my faster one lol) Windows ME
3) Intel Pentium III 1.0 Ghz WinME and then WinXP. Halo, Red Alert 2, Diablo 2.
4) AMD Athlon 64 3500+ WinXP All that good modern stuff.
5) (Near future...) AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ still WinXP :)
Yeah I really never was a gamer until '97. Good times.
 
i envy some of you with the history. Commodore 64 (family), Pentium III 866mhz (family), AMD Sampron 3000+, AMD 3000+ , AMD 4400+ (Windsor Energy Efficient), AMD 4400+ (Brisbane), AMD 6000+, AMD 6400+, AMD Phenom 9500.

 
I see that a few others had a 486DX-120.... seemed to be a uncommon chip at the time when everyone was going to Pentiums. I only had it because I was the only cpu I could find that fit my measly budget at the time.
 
My CPU was born in Brooklyn NY to two Italian Immigrants. It graduated high school in 1990, served 4 years in the military, and continued it's education at Michigan State with an Engineering Degree.
It then fell in love, screwed up, had kids, and is now fat, bald, impotent, unemployed and divorced.

ROFL!!!!





 
trs 80 (? I was a kid in mid 80s, what exactly was that thing) -> p2 350 slot1 (2600 dollars) ->
p233 -> k6-2-266 -> athlon 900 -> p4 1.8 -> p4 2.26 -> p4 2.8e
and other experiments I can't even remember. I skipped over pentium 3, and all the athlon xp's
===============================

Above was using for longevity, all cpu changes also got a board change, and at least 2 graphics cards a piece (Yes geforce, I still hate your guts). via and intel chipsets, the rest still suck. In fact I said to hell with via 8 years ago. I don't even choose AMD. Too many dynamics to be hotrodding around pretending I learned the basics of one. I am going on 36 yrs old and literally feel older than myself. I do not want overclocking, amd, geforce, or a fan on my vid card or more than 3 fans in the whole system. Sta belngs external like a usb , still crazy to run an os....
 
Sinclair ZX81 - 1K memory, later added a 16K Ram Pack, I think it was called something differnent in US
Dragon 32 - 32K
Amiga can't rememeber exact name, 500K I think.
P166MMX
Celeron 333Mhz
PIII 600Mhz
PIV 3Ghz
Next CPU will e Q9450 hopefully if it ever gets released.
 
Desktops:
8088 -> TI-99 -> 386SX -> 486 -> PII [Slot 1] -> AMD Sempron -> AMD Athlon XP -> AMD 3000+ [current]

Laptops:
AMD K6 [I think, Compaq Laptop baught in March '99] -> Core2Duo 2.0 [XPS 1530] [current]
