# aye thankfully I think I`ve hit the sweet point
got the current PC 2 years ago, a custom jobbie - 2.8GHz PIV, 1GB RAM, ~200GB hard disk, CD / DVD writer, and a decent* graphics card

thankfully I don`t play games, so don`t need to go crazy - but it`s stupid spec just to browse the web, do a bit of Java/PHP, and remote desktop into the office


*whatever that means these days

# i'm still playing reasonably current games* on my 3 year old cheapy packard bell
2Ghz celeron, 768MB RAM, 60Gb HD and a £30 graphics card from 2 years ago, it's been an absolute trooper, but it's getting pretty creaky

*HL2, Age Of Empires 3 and stuff

# i dont agree
with people buying computers with...3GHZ and 2GB ram and 200GB hd etc. and all that crap bout the psu...for typing and browsing the internet. Surely they could donate them to needier people!

'lol'.

# at home
I alternate between my P2 600 with 200and something ram, a nothing graphics card and a shit hot sound card, and my brand new work laptop (1.6g P4, gig of ram etc etc).

I'm not a gamer as such, and the home PC does just fine.
