    nothing fancy

    destkop (power machine !!!!!):
    intel e8400 (3ghz, dual core)
    2 gig ram
    ati hd4850 (I'm in love with this card)

    running triple boot: xp pro sp3, vista x64 sp1 (main os), mac OS X.5 (this is not a joke)
    used to run a linux partition but I removed 1 hard drive from the pc and I wanted to keep 1 for personnal data between each OS.

    laptop (for the job)
    dell latitude d610
    nice machine, but need more ram (only 512 atm)
    I've been using it for 2 years now, the battery is still giving me around 3 hours per charge (!) and taking in the fact that I bring it with me in the subway everyday and doesn't take care of it, the laptop still looks like new... it's a TANK !
