The machine I am at right now is kicka$$

P-75MHz Acer Laptop with 16MB of RAM, a 1.2GB HD, and a 32-bit PCI w/ 1MB VRAM graphics chip (of which type I am not certain). Comes with an integrated SoundBlaster 16-bit compatible chipset with built-in microphone and speakers.

Jealous?

- Update -

Woops, as for the other machines, I have a P3-500MHz, 192MB RAM, 9GB HD, SB 128, GeForce2, etc, as well as a P166MHz (firewall/gateway/masquerading server) with 32MB RAM, no sound card, and a P2-300MHz machine, stripped down to almost nothing. Not to mention about 2 SB 16 cards, 4 graphics cards laying around (ranging from a GeForce 256, to a couple voodoo cards and cirrus logic cards) a couple spare ethernet cards, semi-working hard drives, floppy drives and other misc. cards. 4 modems (from 14.4 to 56k) and other pieces of junk...errr..parts

As for the other machines in the house...we have a P3-800MHz with a GeForce 2, 256MB RAM, 30GB hard drive, 17" monitor, etc...and an AMD 1.4GHz, 512MB RAM, 60GB HD, GeForce 3, 17" Monitor, SB Live, etc with alot of other gadgetry on it (CD-ROMs, Burners, DVD, etc).

As for my favourite...that would be the P75MHz laptop running linux.
