Lets see how far I can remember (scratching head)

Commodore Amiga500 7.14Mhz (Moto 68000 I think)
386DX-33
Pentium 90mhz
Pentium 133
AMD K6-166
Pentium MMX 233
AMD K6-2-300
Intel Pentium II 300@450Mhz
AMD K6-3/400
P3-550e
P3-700@933
AMD Athlon 1Ghz
Athlon XP 1600+ @1.6Ghz
Athlon XP 2200+
P4-2.53@3.14Ghz
P4-3.0C @3.4Ghz
Athlon XP 2500+@2.2Ghz + Sempron 2200 @ 1800Mhz

Phew, close enough
 
I'll start from the first system I built myself:

433MHz Celeron - 66MHz FSB
667MHz P3 - 133MHz FSB
1GHz TBird - 133MHz FSB
2GHz Athlon XP 2400+ - 266MHz FSB

The 2GHz was the best upgrade of all. I kept the same motherboard, memory, and video card. The only thing I replaced was the heatsink/fan combo. It is my current CPU.
 
Store-Bought Computers:

Atari 400 (6502 ~ 4 Mhz)
Atari 800xl (6502 ~ 4 Mhz)
Atari ST (68030??)
386DX-33 (First PC)

Since then, all upgraded or built by me:

486Dx2-80
486Dx4-120
Pentium 133
Pentium 233 MMX
Celeron 466@525
Athlon 1800+@1666Mhz
Barton Mobile 2500 @2.080Mhz
 
6502 0,99 Mhz (C64, PAL)
68000 7,14 Mhz (Amiga)
68020 40 mhz (Amiga and turbo card)
25 or so mhz ancient unknown PC
100 MHZ DX4 (first real own built PC)
166 Mhz Pentium MMX
350 Mhz K6-2 (@400 mhz)
AMD XP 1800@1900
soon: A64 3500 (or higher)
