Bit sketchy on the early model numbers and speeds though I still have them all, in case anyone is interested in buying.
Intel 486 166MHz ? (Old IBM desktop)
Intel PII 450MHz
AMD XP1800
AMD XP2400
AMD 3000
AMD 4000
Intel 2180

Can people who only ever bought Intel be called "Intel E Gents" ? (apologies to all females, well everyone really - been a long day at work)

Hmmm from what I can remember:

Desktop only:

Celeron 400
Athlon Thunderbird 1ghz :D
Pentium 4 Northwood 'A' 2.2ghz
Athlon 2600+ (Barton core) @ 2.4ghz
Pentium 4 Northwood 'C' 3ghz @ 3.8ghz
Athlon 4000+ @ 2.8ghz
Athlon X2 3800+ @ 2.6ghz
Athlon X2 3800+ @ 2.8ghz (Can't remember why I had two)
Celeron D 356 (Cedar Mill) @ 4.5ghz (Testing)
Core 2 E4300 @ 3ghz
Core2 E6320 (HTPC - sold)

I think thats it. Things get a little shady around the X2 processors as I can't remember the exact order they came in.
