what hardware do you guys use day to day?

[skold]

just curious. we all seem to have dozens (or hundreds..) of older, slower cpus and systems.. what kind of stuff do you guys use each day?

myself, i have an athlon xp 2500+ mobile, running at 2.4ghz.. on an asus a7n8x deluxe rev 2.. 1gb ddr400 dual channel.. 360gb hd space.. radeon 9600xt, and a 19" monitor..

my server is a normal 2500+ at stock speeds, a rev 1.4 a7n8x deluxe, 512mb ddr333, an old ati mach64, and an 8gb hd..

im planning my next upgrade now, and i got to wondering what you all run (im planning to go all out.. dual 6800gts, 2gb+ ram, etc)
