For me it was an AMD 3500+ 64bit socket 939 I paid £250 for it in 2004.
Edit: I think it was £250, Main has got me thinking now! :S

A short dip through invoices later...my trusty Athlon 64 3200+ socket 754 was £141.59 on todayonly in September 2004.
It's also the only chip I've gone into triple figures for so far.
£150 for my Q6600.
the chip im using now (see spec) was scan £40 back in 2006
Think I spent about £300 on a DX4-100 a LOOOONG time ago
~£130 for my Q6600, also the first time i've spent 3 figures on a CPU! I cant see me buying a £200+ CPU ever, unless i win the lottery or get uber rich some other way. Things may be different if overclocking wasn't possible though!
£155 for an E8600. Soon to be £285 for a 940
For an original FX57 when they came out, an insane amount of cash, abt £600 iirc
An E4300 for around £110. I kept all other CPU purchases to under £100 including my Q6600.
The QX6700 Extreme that's sitting in the rig I'm typing this on. Bought in late 2006 for a stupid amount of money, several hundred £s IIRC. Probably won't be doing that again!!
E6600 for around £200 beginning of 2007 i think. =0
Paid £120 for my e6750 :)
Can't imagine ever paying over £150 for processor.
140 quid for Xeon X3360 last summer :P
£90 for my s939 opteron, stil running it now with a bit of OC, playes latest Eve, COD4, Farcry2, etc quiet hapilly. Just looked and it was back end of 2005, scan did the opty 146 so its just over 3 years old :) Barginnnnn
skt 939 X2s were far too expensive.. darn Intel failing to come up with any competition at the time...
Hmm, £800 on a Core i7 965 D:
Maybe a bit too much? I love it though :)
