I use a Dell D630 2Ghz intel core 2 duo processor, 2 GB of RAM for work. It could use another gig of RAM to make it sweeter but it's not bad at all. I run multiple instances of Toad, IE, Firefox, Eclipse, CF (development), at times add Dreamweaver to that list.. all with no problems. At home I have a Lenovo 1.8GHz intel core 2 duo with 4 GB of RAM, I dual boot Windows Vista and Linux (Kubuntu 8.04). It's an awesome machine.
