How good is your computer?
Right now, I am

-burning a DVD
-burning a data CD
-bittorrenting a movie
-listening to mp3s
-browsing the internet
-playing Solitaire (and winning!)

all at the same time, all on the same computer.

I have a AMDx64 chip, 1.5gb memory, and WinXPx64. My DVD burner is internal, my CD burner is a USB plug-in unit. I have an Acer 20" widescreen flat screen monitor.

I built my computer myself from parts.

1. Good enough, I need more memory though...
cd burner, floppy drive, Dvd burner(which doesn't work worth a SHIT, damn Sony), a dvd player, two harddrives...on that is 80 gigs, the other 160...my 160 gig has 102 gigs of music...I need another back up soon.

My comp does everything I want it to do....:) (except, the "command the world prompt" still doesn't work well)....

4. Well I have a Dell Dimension E310 so I guess I suck.

5. I built my own as well
It does what I ask and rarely complains so I'll take that as good.

6. It's done its job.

It's gotten me though college thus far (I don't require a lot, just the ability to write plenty of long papers--I'm a history major). Hopefully, it'll carry me through next year, my last, and I can get a new one for grad school.

7. Really good
It is a PPC Powerbook. I really wish I had waited for the Intel Macs, but oh well. It still does everything I ask pretty quick like.
