How do you feel about your current computer?
Poll time
This week's poll begs the question - how do you feel about your current system? And by "current", we mean the one you're using right now to view this poll.
Do you feel that your computer is still capable, or do you also long for that much coveted upgrade? Share your thoughts!

AMD Athlon XP 2000+
MSI KT4V
1GB PC2100 DDR RAM

I really need to upgrade, but since I can't afford it and it is good enough to serve my current needs, I voted to "limp along".

It's sufficient for my computing tasks.
I might buy a new video card eventually, my Geforce 2 isn't quite fast enough for the newest games. It usually does good enough on the medium quality settings though, and I don't play that many games anymore so I can do without, until Doom 3 gets released anyway
And since everyone that replied (all 2 of 'em  ) listed their specs:
AthlonXP 1800
512 MB PC2100
Geforce2 GTS
40+40+60 GB HD's

I'm limping along.
All I need is new speakers, soundcard, and another stick of RAM. Maybe I'll use Valentine's Day to buy myself some RAM  , and drink enough on St. Pat's to buy the rest.

MSI GeForce 3 Ti 500
It's alright for me. I don't do much gaming nowadays so nothing really to change in the sound/graphics department. The thing I want at the top of my list is either a new 19" flat screen (or at least a 17 incher) or a new stick of 512MB DDR RAM. After that, a new hard drive would be nice.
