Amstrad CPC464 (beast of a machine that i loved - good old tapes)
486DX66
Intel PI 200MHz
Intel PIII 800MHz
AMD Thunderbird 1.4GHz
AMD XP2400
AMD XP2500 (Barton) @ XP3200
Intel C2D E6300 @ 3.15GHz
Intel C2Q Q6600 @ 3.42GHz

Planning on possibly getting a new Deneb core, but will have to see how money is
 
PI 166mhz
PI 200mhz :p
Celeron 733mhz
PIII 1.1ghz
P4 1.5ghz
AMD 3000+ @ 2.0ghz (754)
AMD X2 6000+ @ 3.0ghz (AM2)

Just waiting for the 3ghz phenom to be released then i'll be upgrading again :D
 
I never took my Amiga'a into account so i can also add

Motorola 68000 @ 7.16 MHz (Amiga 500)
Motorola 68EC020 @ 14 MHz (Amiga 1200)
Motorola 68030 (Amiga 1200 expansion board)

All still working as well.
 
Makes me feel weird when I see these 1mhz-5mhz CPU's.. 5mhz is nothing now but back in the day that was lightning cutting edge tech. Now you can get 4500mhz dual cores etc.

Funny how things change..

Erm Intel didn't make a 333Mhz Pentium III :p suppose you could've underclocked a 450MHz+ model though:eek:
 
pentium 60 (first pentium) c. 1994
Cyrix 120
Pentium 200 MMX
Pentium II 400
Pentium 3 2.66
Athlon FX-55
Quad 9650:)

Laptops were:

Compaq AMD 475 (about 1999, and cost £850)
Toshiba A100 1.66 Duo core
And My current lappy, a Sony VAIO FW11S - Intel Core2 Duo P8400 (2.26Hz)



Those are all sytems, not just CPU's, apart from the Cyrix wchich was an upgrade from the Pentium 60, which alowed me unstuttering performance in Doom 1!

Wither next......:confused:
