My Dell is an i5 3.2 mghz, 8 gigs ram, 1.5TB hard drive. Went for mid range set up that is my biz 'puter. Smokes compared to my old HP dual core.
I
still have a Pentium 4 CPU 1400MHz 1.4 GHz 512 MB RAM

Still works...

I bought this computer in December 1999 and at the time at it came loaded with ME. I "remodeled" the computer in 2003, with Windows XP Pro, increased the RAM from 256 to 512, added Audigy 2 sound card, 2.0 USB ports, a digital 15" monitor, a second drive for my music.
The work notebook with Windows 7 that I use shuts down really fast and starts really fast.
Yep, I'm due for a new computer.
