    Not sure about all but here's what I remember

    Cyrix 233MMX (accidently OC'd and killed)
    486
    AMD Duron (333 I thin)
    P4 2ghz (when first came out)
    P4 HT 3ghz
    Core 2 duo 2ghz

    Had random other ones for spare PC's but those where main ones

    Intel:
    Pentium 300MHz
    Pentium II 300MHz
    2x Pentium II 400MHz (yes, same rig)
    Pentium III 1.2GHz
    Celeron 2.2GHz
    Pentium IV 3.2MHz (1st laptop)
    Core2Duo 7500 2.2GHz (current laptop)
    i7-760 (upcoming PC that's on pre-order :D)

    AMD:
    Athlon 1.8GHz (about the same time I got my hands on those dual pentium II rig and the Pentium III)
    this was the only AMD CPU I had but it was a really good one imo, never had any problems with it...

    Intel Pentium III 800MHz
    AMD Athlon 64 3500+ @ 2.2GHz
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ @ 2.7GHz
    Intel Atom N270 @1.6GHz/2.0GHz on mains supply

    My lovely current CPUs;
    AMD Phenom II 940 Black Edition @ 3.0GHz
    AMD Turion II M520 @ 2.3GHz (usually running at a 50% underclock to save power and reduce heat during boring stuff, aka not gaming)

    In each case it's come down to whichever was cheapest at the time but still gave the desired performance.

    Still basically on my first rig which I put together about 6 years ago now and its had two processors

    AMD64 3500+
    AMD64 X2 4200+

    Both started at 2.2ghz and ended up about 2.8. Still going strong and rocking DDR400

    Intel Pentium D
    Intel E6550
    Intel Q6600

    The Pentium D was kept at stock, the E6550 was a great little overclocker and ran no problem at 3Ghz, the Q6600 is my current CPU and it's running at 3.4Ghz.
    Would love to upgrade to an i7 setup but can't afford it yet :(

    Yes. It was great fun. Fond memories :) The jump from FX60 to i7 was eye opening as well!

    Definately Intel for me.

    Currently I have running:
    i7 980x
    i7 920
    Q9400
    E8400

    P4 3.8ghz (S775 - In a cupboard, used for fault finding)

    Previously Owned:
    Q6600 x 2
    Q9450
    E6850
    E6700
    Opteron 144
    Athlon 4000
    Athlon 4800X2
    Athlon 3600
    P4 3.2ghz
    P4 3.0ghz

    Before that I don't have records but there would have been about 3 or 4 more Intel's going back to a 486. Before those would have been a BBC Micro / 16k Spectrum / ZX81 / ZX80

    Sadly never purchased an AMD cpu/system, only one I had I think was an athlon of sort, rescued form a bin out the back of my flats which I turned into a NAS box - that sadly died early this year.

    I imagine intel are way ahead... only in the P4 vs Athlon XP days were the tables turned. Even with the decent Phenoms you can get now, Intel still leads the way.

    For me, as best as I can remember it was:

    486SX (25Mhz) (none of those piddling 386s for me - I started at the top!)
    486DX2/66
    Cyrix P166+
    <--- something else in here, but can't remember -->
    Athlon XP1400+ (mobile version)
    P4 3.06GHz
    Core 2 E6600
    Core 2 Q6600
    i7 920

    I've been an enthusiast for so long, yet that list doesn't seem very long. I guess I often upgrade everything in each machine multiple times, but not often the CPU...

    I haven't owned many but here goes:

    Intel:
    Pentium 120
    Celeron 500

    AMD:
    Athlon XP 2600+
    Athlon X2 1.6GHz (laptop)

    The laptop was a sidestep from the desktop Athlon XP, though I doubt it would stand up to much these days.

    I'm currently using a borrowed P4 3.2 Prescott, and have previously borrowed a Q6600.

    Next upgrade: i3 530.
