What would be interesting is if people calculate the average time they keep a CPU. The above 14 CPU's are spread over 30 years, so on average I keep a CPU 2.14 years.

Cryrix PR300 (Used until win XP came out)
Athlon XP 2500+ Barton (Used for about 3 years as main system)
Opteron 146 (Used for about 3-4 years as main system)
E8400 (Current CPU Had for just under a year)
Some big leaps there xD lol
Used to be a pretty much console only gamer.
Each one underwent quite a few upgrades and all bar the Cyrix has been used daily up until about 6month ago.
The Opty is sitting unused, the Barton is sitting in a shuttle and a 4400+ x2 has been popped into a new shuttle also.

AMD Athlon x2 4200 dual core 2.2ghz 939
AMD Athlon x2 6000 dual cire 3.0ghz AM2
AMD Phenom 1 9500 Quad 2.2ghz AM2+ - only lasted a week before i changed this rubbish quad
Intel Q6600 775 2.4ghz - Eventually OC'ed @ 3ghz
Intel Q9550 775 2.83ghz - Oc'ed @ 3.4ghz
Intel i7 920 1366 2.66ghz - Oc'ed @ 4.2ghz - Current.
Wow more than i thought and im still reasonably young.

486/100MHZ. Then I didn't have a PC for a while then:
K6-2 368MHZ or something
Duron 800
Duron 1100
Athlon XP 2600
Athlon 64 3000 venice
C2D E4300
Q6600
May be missing the odd one though.

There may be a few other fillers in there I can't think of

Opteron 165 (now in my HTPC)
Q6600
List seems short to me, I think there may have been 2 more, one in between the celly and the P4 and one in between the P4 and the Opty...obviously memorable whatever they were!

I've had a load of others in with that lot including but off the top of my head that's most of them, everything from bringing them in direct from the US, importing water cooling kits from DD, running pelts and destroying XP's along with radiator paint unlocks, socket volt mods and all sorts of other weird and wonderful stuff.
