The 'how slow is your work computer' thread

Celeron 2.0ghz with 256mb, its pretty nippy when not attached to the network but when it is its slower than a sleeping tortoise! What makes it worse is that the network automatically virus checks 12-1 as its 'lunch time' unfortunately I don't have my lunch till 1 so I can't really do much at all for an hour!
 
Not entirly sure what my workstation is lol

anciant compaq deskpro with Pentium2 sticker. running win2k, my computer shows intel xeon 2.4ghz cpu and 3,148,700 KB ram. used mostly with office and internet, Its dog slow and has a lot of trouble with clipart images ;)
 
P4 2.26Mhz with 768 RAM. I'm quite lucky, mine is one of the faster ones and at least I have a decent amount of RAM, some in my team have 900MHz P3's with 256MB. According to our PC team, that is quite fast enough even when running XP SP2 and with all the crap (anyone know what ePolicy Orchestrator Agent Monitor does???) they install as standard.
 
P4 3.2
1gig ram
256mb ATI Radeon X600
40gig hdd
Dual 19" monitors

Also dual 40" plasma's up on the wall :D
 
I'm currently working with an AMD Athlon XP 2100+ and 512MB of RAM.

Would be fine for most things but I'ma graphic designer and when I'm working on A1 sized files in Photoshop this comp is brought to it's knees, taking a good 5 mins just to save the file!!!

Also it has a habit of powering itself off suddenly, no warnings no sign of anything crashing, just bam no power.

I was supposed to be getting a brand spanking new dual core monster back in August but that never materialised, I'm hoping to I'll be getting a new comp in the next couple of weeks though no doubt it'll actually be someone higher ups cast off and be rubbish!!!

It varies at my college some of them aren't too bad (3.0Ghz p4, 512mb ram) whereas others are terrible (933mhz p3, 128mb ram). The main problem though is that everything is accessed from the main server which appears to be a celeron, which overheats... how about 17 minutes to log into my user account or 5 minutes for Google to load :D
 
My work pc is an IBM Thinkpad laptop. Haven’t got a clue what spec it is never bothered to look.

I don’t really use it that much if it comes out for 20mins a couple of times a week that’s it. Other than that it’s just chucked on the back of the van knocking round amongst the tools and cable :D .

we had to 'use' autocad on p2 350s with 64meg of ram when I was at college just a few years ago! that was kinda interesting.
 
Machine 1 Dell Optiplex Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2GB DDR2 RAM. 120GB HD
Machine 2 Dell Optiplex Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2GB DDR2 RAM. 120GB HD
Machine 3 Dell PowerEdge SC440 Intel Xeon 3040 Processor. 4GB RAM 250GB HD (Server)

Machine 1 and 2 have Dell E207WFP 20" monitors. machine 3 is Remote Admin only.

Got these bad boys on Monday last week for development. Our entire team has Machine 1 and 2. Am just lucky i have my own testing server.

Its a lot different from IBM Think Centers at 1.8Ghz using VS2005 and other development tools.
 
P4 3.6Ghz (dual core or HT, I dunno) 4GB of RAM, Radeon X600 and a Matrox PCI card too :confused: , 2 x Dell 19" LCDs

Then we have our support servers running the databases for testing which are quad Xeons. Those babies fly.

No problems running all of our huge database manipulation stuff on it locally or in VMWare clients on it.
 
At work I have a Pentium 4 1.7GHz with 256Mb memory running Windows 2000. I think it's the memory that slows it down as at home I also have the same processor but with 512Mb memory on XP and it's not at all bad for what I use it for.

Would love to upgrade but I'm saving for uni and getting a Mac Pro in the summer when I can qualify for HE discount.
