My computer history goes a bit like this:

1 ) ZX Spectrum 48k
2 ) Commodore 64
3 ) Atari ST
4 ) Amiga
5 ) 486 DX-2 66
6 ) Pentium 100Mhz
7 ) Celeron 366 MHz
8 ) Celeron 667 MHz
9 ) Pentium 3 1000MHz
10 ) Athlon XP1500

Of course from #5 onwards was basically upgrading of individual components over time and all were overclocked.
