iMac G4, 256MB ram, 20 gig HD. At 400Mhz is as fast or faster than comparable Pentiums. The only thing I dislike is how the Mac is treated like an ugly stepchild when it comes to software development.

AMD K6-233, 96MB RAM, 10GB HD, Linux 7.1, no video card, no sound, no floopy, no cdrom, for email server.
AMD K6-366 (underclocked from 400 cause motherboard won't support 400), 128MB RAM, 20GB HD, Windows ME, Geforce 2MX/deluxe (with TiVo, my Digital VCR), suround sound and next to TV.
AMD K7-866 (OC from 700), 512MB RAM, 60GB HD, Win2K Server for web server, MySQL, VPN and other misc stuff.
Intel Dual Celeron 550 (OCed from 366), Abit BP-6 Motherboard, 512MB RAM, 60GB HD, lots of other stuff for OpenGL rendering and Graphics stuff.
Intel P3-800 (Oced from 550), 512MB RAM, 40GB, GeForce2 GTS Pro, Gaming machine.
Intel Ppro 200 1MB cache, 128MB RAM, 10GB HD, Linux 6.2 web server and development box.
For Work:
SGI O2,
Sun Ultra 60 + 3D,
Some Dell machine for E-mail.
A Macintrash for medical stuff.
486 33Mhz, 8MB RAM, 900MB HD running Linux 6.2 for other ppl email checking and web surfing. (Yes, it does run).
I think that is about it. I am going to put off buying gadget for computers now. It should last me 'til sometime next year. That Dual Celeron just refuse to die. I had it for 3 years now. and, it is still as fast as my K7 and PIII machine. Incredible.
