    I upgrade my PC as time progresses, going for a new PSU next, then mobo, then GFX, then more HDD space

    And mewthree, unless you're married to AMD you may as well go Intel, seeing as they are superior in every aspect.

    I'm not even trolling. :)

    Warned for trolling, don't try to pick a fight. ;)

    Can't switch, I'm locked into my Gigabyte motherboard. I fell for the Phenom arguments of backwards compatibility (AM2 and AM2+), and AMD plus Gigabyte didn't fail, they epically failed on that.

    I really think if were looking price per performance, AMD has Intel on the run. The tri-cores could be a real ace for AMD as there essentially failed quads with one core disabled. Right now Intel might have performance, but they don't have price or low-end. AMD is slowly but surely moving into the dominate leader in those areas.

    If I would have known what I know now, would I have gone Intel? DUH. But do I still enjoy my system a ton. You bet. I'm putting in an AMD 6400 3.2Ghz Dual core in my machine, I have the parts here but didn't have time to do it yet. After this, no more money is going into this computer unless a catastrophic failure occurs.

    I have a iBook G3 300 blueberry. 544mb RAM 80|GB HD 10.3.9 Panther Luv it
     
    Dang it, Mewthree! Stop making us (or at least me) jealous!

    Hay, don't be so Jealous. Even my system has some minor issues.

    Cons:
    Locked into AMD. Motherboard is not Phenom capable. I'm putting in the fastest 64 X2 processor I could buy, the 6400 3.2 Ghz Dual Core.
    X-Fi Sound Card - Not super impressive. Drivers suck it hard. Even with 7.1 surround sound I have. But I can still blast anyone out I want to XD.
    Worn out DVD-RW drive - My IDE Lite-on drive is slowly but surely dying. Its being replaced with an SATA Samsung Drive.
    Runs HOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. I don't need heating in my room anymore.
    I have a USB issue with one of my front ports, its a crossed cable somewhere but I don't wanna dig into the unit right now to fix it as my machine is going in for the refits I discussed above.

    But I have some good points all the same.

    Pros:
    The video card is good. Crysis is the only game that gives me problems. It gives everyone problems.
    System has tons of processing power, system rarely has a full lockup. Speedy machine. And I'm putting in another processor even XD.
    Dual Monitor: Just a blessing. Such a blessing. ^_^

    I really have nothing to complain about. It does what it needs to do.
     
    Blargh, not so much of a brag but anyway:

    Laptop
    Philips 15NB5700 Widescreen Multimedia Notebook
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    15.4" Screen
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz
    2038MB Ram
    Some sort of Wi-Fi Connection

    And that's pretty much all I know about it, except that the programs installed on it are pretty totally amazing... *shifty eyes*

    It's not the most amazing laptop on the planet, but I still love it to death. Mhmm ^^
     
    My PC:

    HP Pavillion a257c
    Windows XP Home
    about 20''ish screen size (maybe more)
    Intel Pentium 4 processor @ 2.66 GHz
    120 gig hard drive

    I've had it for 5 years, and it's had its share of problems, but it still works great!
     
    Here's mine: ^^;
    Macbook Pro Core2 Duo 15-inch (2006)
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz
    2 GB Ram
    120 GB 5400 RPM HD
    DVD+-/RW SuperDrive
    ATi Mobility Radeon x1600
    Wifi/Bluetooth

    I just got a HP xw4600 workstation

    Core 2 Duo E6850 3ghz
    4gb ram
    500gb drive
    ATI Radeon x1950
    24" Benq TFT (1920 x 1200)
    17" Samsung TFT (1280 x 1024)

    Currently I'm triple booting XP Pro, Vista Business x64, and Ubuntu 64bit. Might install OSX if I get some free time!
     
    Four year old Dell Inspiron 6000. If you care enough then you already know its specifications, or will look it up on their site.

    The biggest thing that I've always hated about this thing is the 16:9 screen which can't keep its ratio correct when displaying any resolution above 1024x768 (doesn't anyone make 4:3 anymore? T_T).

    Of course I didn't buy this laptop... When I acquire the money and if I acquire the knowledge, I'll be making my own PC.
     
    I almost feel ashamed posting mine, but here goes!!

    It's an Acer Aspire, the new little one the 3600 or something! with squat graphics card can't even blow up a bomb on a Super NES ROM!!

    I hate it also because it runs Vista!! and Vista SUCKS!!

    EDIT: although one good thing is that it has TWO 250GB drives, which I love so I can keep all my Anime on one and my games and programs on the other!
