Except that the requirements for games far outstrip the requirements for
productivity.
My main "Games" machine: AMD 2500+ w/512Mb of RAM Running Win2k
My secondary "workhorse" machine: PIII-667 w/768Mb running Debian, just
upgraded from a PIII-450 w/512Mb. The 667 was my game machine before.
My third "access" machine to my Linux box: PII-250 w/96Mb RAM running Win2k
and VNC to get to the Linux box.
I've never really felt the need to upgrade to anything faster on the Linux
side even though it is several years, and generations of CPUs old. About the
only thing I'd change is the laptop. I'd like to get an old G3 Powerbook to
throw OSX on to play with.
