Pentium 4 (Northwood) 3.06Ghz with HyperThreading (current family desktop, still going strong!)
Turion64 MT-30 1.6Ghz (dad's first laptop)

AMD Athlon XP 'Barton' 3200+ (2200 MHz)
Intel Centrino 1.6 GHz (Laptop)
Intel E8400 3.0 GHz @ 4.0 GHz
 
486 SX25
PII of indeterminate lineage [didn't have internet access to check the serial number etc] that I never got working - think the mobo was shot. Good job I got it for free.
Athlon XP 2400 Thoroughbred that I whacked up to 2.4Ghz and left there - still works, methinks.
Pentium Mobile 1.8Ghz in a Tosh lappy.
Intel Atom 1.6ghz in an Acer Aspire One.

Currently using:
Q6600 that was briefly at 3.6Ghz, but put back to 2.4Ghz as it runs practically silent
AMD Phenom II 2.8Ghz AM2+ which is in my Xenserver box with 8Gb of RAM.
 
Had a few old PC's I dont remember, but what I do...

AMD Athlon XP 3400
Pentium M 1.4GHz (laptop for uni that was then stolen :( )
Pentium 4 3GHz (cheap replacment to keep me going after laptop loss)
Celeron E1400 (again, cheap way into socket 775 for future upgrades)
C2D E8400 (first real 'performance' CPU)
C2D E8500 (worked out as pretty much a free upgrade and got an extra 400mhz out of it :) )

And next week it should be i5 750 :D Most of those changes have been in the last year haha
 
AMD Duron 700
AMD Athlon XP 2500 overclocked to 2.0 from memory :)
AMD 939 X2 4400+ @ 2.6
Current: AMD Phenom 9950 @ 2.9

Laptop - AMD Turion64 3700
Current Laptop AMD Turion X2 - not sure which model it is but runs at 1.8

Call me a fanboi lol - does an Atom ITX count :p - which is currently my server/download box

or

To the guy who commented that those of us with ancient CPU's in our histories must be reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaallllllyyyy old...............GET STUFFED! lol. I'm only in my mid 20s!

Wow...my previous post is almost a year old. Well...time to update me thinks.

My new processor to add to the list is below:

AMD Athlon II X4 620

Thankfully better than the 7750+ but I didn't want to spend more to get a Phenom II...I know, I'm a tight wad.
