Yeah, P4 3,04 GHz + 1 GB RAM is doing everything nicely I care to throw at it. The only thing I could see a faster PC making sense is for converting large video files. No, I don't do 3D modelling with povraying (where CPU speed counts, too), but I doubt many of us out there do.

I have both XP (chugs along nicely) and Linux (screaming fast) installed on it. These days hardly ever boot XP.
