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
GeForce 3 Ti200

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 see... only darkness... before me...

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.

I don't play as many games on it as I used to, so I'll probably be using this box for a while.

Soyo Dragon Lite
Athlon XP 1800
512MB DDR 2100
Geforce4 4600
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound
2x40GB HDs
24x12x32 Plextor CDRW
52x CD

I have a couple laptops to, but they aren't even worth mentioning....hehe

AMD AthlonXP 2100+
Ecskk7s5a
256 DDR
40 GB
32x12x40 LG CD-RW/DVD@16x
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.
