1st computer: 400mhz pre-built computer made by NEC

2nd computer (and still current one): 1.8ghz custom built PC. Over the last 2 or 3 years I've added RAID, a new monitor, and a few other goodies.

1st: Commodore 64 with a B&W TV as a monitor and a cassette tape drive for storage
2nd: IBM PS2 Model 50Z Only a 10 Mhz 286, with a 30 MB hard drive, but it had the amazing 8 MB microchannel memory expansion card. In 1987, that was a LOT of memory!
3rd: IBM PS2 Model 70 with a 25Mhz 386 and an 80 MB hard drive.
4th: Dell Dimension P75. Amusingly, it came with a pathetic 8 MB of memory standard, the same as my then 8 year old 286 had. I upgraded it to 128MB before I finally got rid of it.
5th: A Sony VAIO desktop with a PII-300 lots of goodies like an AllInWonder card and a Creative Voodoo 2 card. Beautiful machine, too.
6th: A custom built slot A Athlon 700 Desktop machine. I still have that one, dual booting Windows 98 and XP.
7th: An IBM ThinkPad T20 with a 700Mhz PIII and 512 MB of memory
8th: A custom built Shuttle XPC with a 2.53 GHz P4 and another AllInWonder card. Hey, I got used to watching TV on my computer when I had the Sony!
9th: An IBM ThinkPad T30 with a 2.4 GHz P4 M with 1 GB of memory.

Intellivision Aquarius
C64
IBM Portable XT (Amber Display)
IBM PC XT (w/ 10MB hdd about 5yrs later)
WANG 386SX20 w/ 2MB Ram
Then a Clone 486DX50 -> DX2-66 -> Cx5x86 120MHz
I forget from there, got a good job started buying upgrades left and right, building stuff from parts, etc.
I think I had a Pentium 120 for a while OC'd to 133.
I know I had a fe K6 Systems, 233, 300MHz (66MHz FSB)
I think I skipped over the K6-2 in favor of Celeron 300a -> 450MHz.
Never did own a legit PII 100MHz system that I can recall.
I upgraded the 450MHz to 800MHz (Celeron 533 OC'd x 100).
-> Toshiba Laptop Pentium MMX 266MHz (not PII) w/ Dual Scan Display.
Fooled with a Dualy PII 300 OC'd to 450 but never ran stable with both CPU's oc'd.
Had a Tyan AT BX board for a while there, ended up selling it after 2yrs for more than I paid for it!
At somepoint I went back to AMD, first K7 was a Socket A Tbird 650MHz KT133 System w/ PC100 SDRAM. Chip fried after getting too hot at somepoint, and chipped itself, never oc'd or anything.

I upgraded from that to Duron 1GHz and KT266 board. Had board failure at some point.
Went with XP1700. Board had caps problems after about a year, have CPU and RAM sitting here waiting for a new board. In the interim I had upgraded to and am currently running a barton 2x00 at 2GHz (166FSB) on Nforce2 Ultra.

-> Purchased a Compaq M700 Laptop (PIII 500MHz); use for DVD's and lite surfing.

I think next desktop system will be Dual Core Athlon 64, dunno, we'll see. Depends on hot deals
