Since everyone else is posting computer threads today I thought I would also.
Does anyone else here have more RAM than processing power? My PC has a 500Mhz processor and 512Mb worth of RAM. Just curious and I've never really thought about it until today and was wondering if anyone else is excessive as I am.
Oh yes, I also run Win2k Pro and host a website from it for what its worth.

I can probably say with a certain level of confidence that I have everyone here beaten when it comes to computing power. I have a dual AMD XP 1600+ with 512mb (soon to be 1GB) pc2100 ECC DDR SDRAM, geforce 2 ultra video card, 80gb + 60gb 7200rpm harddrives, two 100mbit network cards, sound blaster live card,16x DVD 16x10x40x CDRW, and a tyan tiger s2460 motherboard.

Processing power, MAYBE spen....but I got you beat for gaming (and maybe even processing, I overclock my FSB causing my CPU pipe to RAM to jump to 302 MHz)

AthlonXP '1600+'@'1900+'
512 MB PC2400 @ 302 MHz
GeForce3 Ti500 (270 core/595 ram)
40GB + 20GB 7200 RPM ATA/100 HD
1 100mbit NIC
Hercules GameTheater XP (tried the live, thought it sucked, sorry)
Shuttle AK31 v3.1 motherboard (VIA kt266a baby, YEAH)

But can you type?

Spender:
what OS are you using? Cause unless the OS you are using is Win NT, 2K or BeOS the second processor is not really being used.

Linux 2.4. And yes, I know what I'm doing :) I write code for the operating system itself.

xander: there's no way you have me beat! I have the equiv of 3ghz of processing power! :p

I can type around 75wpm on a standard keyboard...around 80-85 on a laptop keyboard...the less I have to push down on the keys the faster I can type.

I have the biggest hard drive 160,120,60,60 cdrw dvdrw
oh I only have 512mb and 1ghz athon .. but I also have 802.11b going to four systems in my house.

my system at work is decent, 2 x 866 p4, 1gb mem, 18gb,36gb both 10,000rpm scsi, 22" mon

Yeah, but I can count on one hand the number of apps I've got that can use multiprocessors.

Using SiSoft for benchmarking (Windows only util - http://www.sisoftware.demon.co.uk/sandra/index.htm), I get:
CPU Arithmetic Benchmark
4412 MIPS (Dhrystone)
2201 MFLOPS (Whetstone)
Memory Bandwidth Benchmark
2.3 GB/s (int)
2.2 GB/s (float)

And, my 3dMark2k1 score (for benchmarking the 3d subsystem):
9406

If you are only running Linux, I don't know of any comparable tests to direct you at, though...

(?Linux? - *blech* - no decent apps for it!)

(I'm actually impressed, though. Really - I have heard all kinds of horror stories getting the AXPs to work multiprocessor)
