Who still running a P4?

I am on a Medion P4 2.6GHz (Bought from ALDI some years back)
Radeon 9600TX 128MB
1GB Ram

It is still serving me well but need to upgrade to C2 Duo soon (and i intend to)

In the loft i still have my Mesh Athlon 700MHz (was the bee's knee's at the time) but still perfectly usable for office applications, internet and light gaming.

You need deep pockets to be up to date in hardware, Moore's Law was stated back in the 50's (i think) and it is still true to this day. Although i think they are just about pushing silicon to its limits now.

Typically a day after i posted above the 9800 Pro died in my P4, so im back to a GF2 MX robbed from the P3! I think a Mac Mini may be the replacement for the both machines.
 
Still running the following:

S478 Prescott P4 [email protected] with Tuniq tower
Abit IC7-G mobo
2Gb Mushkin DDR 500
Gainward 7800GS 512Mb Bliss AGP(7800GT 20 pipe core)
Audigy 2 Platinum Pro ZS
Tagan 580w U22 PSU

This has been an amazing system and has served me very well. Getting replaced this week with (I feel almost tearful)

Core 2 E6600
Asus P5N32-e SLI
OCZ 2Gb Platinum Rev2
EVGA 8800GTS 640Mb
Keeping the Audigy 2 as it does me, and it has the external breakout box with all the connection I will ever need.
 
Still running the following

P4 3.2
2GB
8KNXP Ultra 64
X800XT PE

Only started to struggle since i upgraded my monitor to the 2007WFP
 
(This is my first post)

I still have a Vaio 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 (Ver: B), 1gb of PC2100 Ram. Unbelivably stable and a real work horse. 5 Years of service now and going strong!

Replaced from my main machine by a 3.4ghz Pentium D, soon to be replaced by a Quad Core 2! How time flys!
 
me too

P4 3.4 1GB Ram
80 sata and 120 IDE
Gfx:6800 512mb
Converted it to a MCE PC after my gaming experience was hampered by not being able to turn AA, AF etc on without noticable slow down, so purchased an XB360:)
All in a Silverstone case running Vista Home Premium for MCE, and upscaling DVD's using FDDShow.

I have just purchased a laptop with the 1gb ram,120GB HDD, Dual Core T2060 1.6, and its still slower than my P4 :)
