Your CPU progression

From what I can remember:

Intel 486DX2 66 mhz
Intel Pentium 133 mhz
Intel Pentium 3 450 mhz
(Here is where I started to overclock)
AMD Duron 900 mhz @1.3ghz
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1.6 ghz @ 2ghz
AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 2.2ghz @ stock
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 2.4ghz @ stock
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @ 2.4ghz
Intel Core 2 E2200 2.2ghz @ 3.1ghz

Took me a while to finally switch back to Intel but i'm very happy with my little budget chip, it's a monster overclocker (still using stock cooling too).
 
Pentium 166
Pentium 200

Those are the only two processors that I've ever owned, not gonna count family machines.
 
Packard Bell...used to call them Packard Hell...they always broke and were brought into the PC shop I worked at. Although I do remember the case design and thinking, at the time, that they were pretty cool. I had a PB monitor for a long time I picked up at a yard sale but I never owned one myself.

rather than constantly upgrading, i pretty much just build a new machine every 4-5 years. damn i remember back when my dad got that p-90. cost almost $3k, had a 1gb harddrive, and ran doom2 smooth as a baby's behind :) all my friends were jealous

The T7200 was and still is an awesome mobile processor and there hasn't been any significant improvement since unless your going with a significantly higher clock speed or quad. I had 3 notebooks with 3 of these suckers.
 
Here's what I've had for my primary computers:

TI TMS9900 @ 3.0 MHz (TI-99/4A home computer)
MOS 8502 @ 2 MHz; Zilog Z80A @ 4 MHz (Commodore 128)
Motorola 68000 @ 7.16 MHz (Amiga 500)

Pentium II 233 MHz
Pentium III 500 MHz
P4 2.4 GHz (Northwood)
P4 3.0 GHz (Prescott)
Intel E6700
Intel E6850
Intel E8400 (now my wife's machine)
Intel Q9300 (now my HTPC)
Intel i7 920

I did have a couple of AMD Athlons for HTPCs, and a few low power/mobile Intel chips for a file server.
