Um, 8088XT 10MHz (if that's the CPU), 486DX-33, 486DX2-66, PII-233, Celereon 300A (@450/464), Celeron 366(@550?), AMD T-Bird 1.33GHz, AMD Barton 2500+, and now an Opteron 165 that I've been using for 2-3 years. Short on cash a bit so won't be upgrading anytime real soon. Overall this is fine for what I use it for though.

I think that's my complete list.
