What speed(s) are your computers
A couple years ago I posted this same thread (located here if anyone wants to see the results). Now I would like to see some updated results as our systems change. Feel free to post any specs of your systems below. This is especially interesting now due to the clock speed differences due to dual core and intel vs amd

My home system is currently the same one posted later in that thread:
2.8C Ghz P4
Abit IS7 - Has since been fully replaced once (due to popped out fan brackets) and the northbridge fan 4 times (current one now dying again)
1GB DDR400
2x 160GB Seagate 7200.7 SATA
300GB Seagate 7200.8
Radeon 9500 Pro 128MB
SB Audigy 2 Platinum
NEC ND-3500 16x DL DVDRW

Now use for programming during robotics (and at my house rest of the year):
HP nc6000 Laptop
1.8GHz Centrino
512MB DDR 333
40 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive
Mobility Radeon 9700

and

Older HP Laptop
Athlon 2500+
512 DDR 266
30 GB Hard Drive

My iBook:

1.42 GHz G4 Processor (PowerPC for lizz-ife...or until I can afford a Mactel)
1 GB of RAM (trust me, it screams with a gig, especially after life with 512 MB)
80 GB Hard drive
OS X 10.4.4 (the most beautiful OS I've dealt with)

Re: What speed(s) are your computers
I submit to you this:

AMD64 clock speeds are typically lower than Intel P4 clock speeds for similar performance. This poll cannot accurately compare performance of people's computers as-is.

I have a desktop P4 @3.00GHz and a laptop AMD64 3200+ @2.0GHz and my laptop can run faster than the desktop depending on the circumstances.

Re: What speed(s) are your computers
Agreed with Adam. I have a AMD 64 3500+ that runs at 2.2 ghz clock speed, but would most certainly blow 2.2 ghz intels out of the water.

Full setup:
AMD 64 3500+
1 gb RAM
Geforce 6800 GT
200 gb HD
+dvd, card reader, anything else you could imagine.

I already mentioned this in my initial post. While the difference may be more exaggerated now, this offset was there for the original poll as well. My main purpose here was for comparison, and since both manufacturers have increased clock speeds, this is still somewhat valid.

The same holds true with Pentium M.

My 2.0 Dothan would murder a 2.0 P4.

Re: What speed(s) are your computers
The fastest computer I have is my "good" Toshiba Satellite laptop, a 1.6 P4 with 512MB, 30GB and XP home.

The second fastest I have is my "second/beater" laptop I got off eBay for a toatl of $412 including shipping. Is also a Satellite with a 650MHZ Celeron, 320MB, 30GB and 2000 Pro.

Then I have an HP Pavilion but it's currently dead right now. It's a 533MHZ P3, 256MB, 30GB and has 98SE on it.

The computer I'm on now is a built computer with a 500MHZ AMD K-6, 256MB, 20GB and 2000 Pro.

Then there's also my oldest still running computer that's also still part of my home network as is all the above computers. It's a built 233MHZ P1, 256MB, 4.3GB with 98SE.

AMD Turion 64 ML-34
It spends most of its time at ~800MHz, but will ramp up to 1.8 as needed.

My desktop only has a 1800+ (Palomino) in it, but it is 5 years old now. It was screaming back when I got it.
