Very well.  You asked for it.  Don't make fun of my boxen
if you think it's too puny.  :P

As far as software I run (A sampling)...

Image manipulation (like Photoshop)
Video capture / manipulation (like Premiere)
MPEG encoding (video/audio)
Webpage design (Dreamweaver)
DVD playing (whatever program I like the best at the time)
hts server
samba serving

And, of course the usual stuff (3d games, web surfing, ssh, rc5, etc)

        It might make more sense to list your box's specs HDWE SFTWE etc.
We would then be able to conclude this for ourselves.

        I believe this is probably universally agreed upon, especially those
who have touched Compaqs, Dells and Packard Bells (UGH)
