I'll admit that my geeky specs are way nder yours,due more to money issues than desire; however, my "daily driver" is an Acer 5050 running Vista Home Basic, 2.4 GHz AMD Athlon X64 Dual Core, 2GB Kingston RAM, and an 80GB hard drive. It runnswell for being a $500 laptop, but I do plan to buy a better model this summer so that the wife can have this one. I have several desktops set up around the house (in fact you arenever more than 30 feet from one when you visit), but my favorite one is an old dell that I had to drive through the war zone in Omaha on Sept 11th, 2001 to pick up from UPS. Paid three grand for a 1.0 GHz, 256MB RAM, 20GB hardrive system that I still use to this day for a few things (mainly a file server). To add insult to injury, after driving in to town to pck up my $3,000 comp, I had to pay $7.49 a gallon for gas to dive home...
