Shut UP! If you need an option for dual you need to be shot. Ok so I am extremely jealus. I program from home. I need to get with a fat company with some money to spend.

That's the way to do it
I've gotta say, back in the Pentium Pro days, i knew a guy who had a dual machine. Running VMWare in NT, with Linux just three keypresses away. I was sooo envious, but since most of my upgrades were motivated by games i wanted to play, i opted to shell out for better video cards instead. I still don't think i'd buy one for home use; if i was gonna spend the $$$ i'd prolly opt for a bigger monitor instead

I was working on a 8-way P3 733 Xeon 4gb memory.
Granted, it wasn't pysically next to me, but I was the only one using it.

We use an Intel server box with up to 8 Xeons, 4 Gb RAM, as a glorified print buffer. Of course, it's a print buffer for a $2.5M ink jet printing system that prints 1000 feet per minute (roughly 17 feet of paper per second).
When we got our first one in the lab, we sacrificed a virgin co-op on it to properly inaugurate it...

It's sad, at work I get a 400 MHz machine, at home I have a 550, a 700 and a 2 Gig. Plus two Amigas, at least THEY are slower than my work machine.

I have a PIII 667mhz with 256 MB RAM with Windows XP and also feel no need to upgrade. I do quite a bit of graphics work too and it works perfectly fine.
Sure I might like a bigger HD (currently have 20gig) but that is about it.

Only 20 gig ? At home I have an 80 and a 60 together in my main machine....

I actually do not need more, what for? I still have 4gigs free.
What do you use 140gigs for anyway?

The 60 gig drive is full of mp3's, the 80 gig has VS.NET, MYOB, MSDN, my Palm resources, emulators, ROMs, and movies on it.
About 20 gig free through the 7 partitions I believe.

Why 7 partitions... Why so many, it downs the performance of the machine.

I'm running a P4-1.7 with 512 megs of RAM. My boss spoiled me with a new one. It even plays UT 2k3 very nice.

All of you guys are lucky. My PC is 850Mhz, and that's OK, but with only 128Mo RAM, that's really bad for a development PC. Just loading VC++ gets me close enough to that . If I open almost any extra tool, I get over it... Speed is not every thing, and oftenI have to wait for a few second before my PC swap to another application
Computers have enabled people to make more mistakes faster than almost any invention in history, with the possible exception of tequila and hand guns.

Indeed, when doing VC++ the pc is to slow, but dubbling/tripling the RAM only would increase everything to miliseconds (or somehing close)...
I've got this thing at home with my 733 PIII/256MB pc starting VC++ and MS Word takes ages to accomplish if I compare it with the PC @ work.
I'm glad my boss gave me a P4... Megahertzes are good!
