I've had the same computer forever. P4 3.0ghz w/ 2 gigs ram, and windows xp for about 8 years. It was always running fine, and it did everything that I needed it to. Sure, I got better computers in all the time, but why not sell them?
Today, I upgraded to a 9 year old IBM workstation. Upgraded to Windows 7, dual 3.8ghz Xeons, 16GB ram, 3 1TB Hard drives in RAID 5 configuration, Two 24" monitors, and extra things that I have collected this year. All of this was from scrap, and including the purchase of win7, cost about $60. This should hold up for a few more years...hopefully.
If anyone has ever considered running dual monitors, do it. I can't believe I haven't done it sooner.
