I got my first PC at age 14. It was a Christmas gift from my Uncle.
Intel 80286
I did a few upgrades along the way to play Doom better. An 80286 with CGA graphics just wasn't going to cut it anymore! :p
Intel 80486SX/33
Intel 80486DX2/66
The 133 was used as a server for my BBS. The MMX 233 was in my Compaq Presario desktop. This was the only name brand PC I ever owned. I custom built everything myself going forward.
Intel Pentium 133
Intel Pentium MMX 233

NO PC 🙁

This PC was furnished thru work. I brought it home in the evenings.
Intel Pentium Pro 200
I built this system because I was tired of lugging my tower back and forth. I'm not sure if it was a bad CPU or mobo, but it was a real PoS I sold fast!
AMD K6-III 400
Work bought this and I used it at home in the evenings and on the weekends.
Intel Pentium III 450x2
Lost my job and pieced this together on a shoe string budget.
Intel Pentium MMX 233
Quickly swapped the MMX 233 for this CPU.
AMD K6-2 550
Sold a couple old PC's to build this.
Intel Pentium III 800EB
Upgraded from the 800EB CPU to this one.
Intel Pentium III 1GHz

NO PC 🙁

This was a temp PC I built from spare parts leftover from upgrades, etc.
Intel Celeron 633 MHz
This is the same CPU I had before. I used it at my job, combined with some of their parts. It's now part of my Retro-Ghetto build.
Intel Pentium III 800EB
The CPU came out of an otherwise dead PC. I bought the other parts and built a PC around this CPU.
Intel Pentium 4 2GHz
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Newcastle 2.0GHz Socket 754 Single-Core
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2.0GHz Socket 939 Dual-Core
Current desktop. Unlocked dual-core to quad and overclocked to 3.4GHz.
AMD Phenom II X2 550 BLACK Callisto 3.1GHz AM3 -> X4 B50 3.4GHz
My next CPU, maybe?
Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz
WIP: 486DX2/66, 16MB FastPage RAM, TsengLabs ET4000 VLB
