Best of the Best

I'm curious as to who has the fastest processor and most RAM here for their work and home PCs. I really need to upgrade soon.
2 x i7-860 / OC'd to 3GHz; each w/ 4GB 2GHZ G-Skill RAM; 1 x E4600 dual-core server w/ 4GB RAM; 2 x single core rendering nodes (3GHz), each w/ 2GB RAM, and 1 x XP laptop, single core w/ 1GB RAM and a new Dell laptop (spec's unknown), ostensibly for the wife's work. I have plans for it, though... ;)

Mustafa and Chris have me beat, probably many more. I have an i7 870 quad-core 2.9 with nvidia 260, dual 30" monitors.... plus I still have the others I had before.... However, I am probably the only one who has made them all run 100% pegged on all processors consistently for specific work related problems. :) In fact, got a tour tomorrow I am preparing for. :) come to see the new massive calc stuff. Maybe if we get some new funding, I'll upgrade... ;P

If 3D renders count, me too. Although not terribly consistently these days.

Our university laptops have ( i7 core two duo, 2.4 GHz processor, 4 GZ RAM, nVidia 512 MB video memory), and you could play Call of duty modern warfare with no problem. It's Lenovo Thinkpad T-510.

Radio Frequency Propagation. And I have held the calc on an 8 core/3.0ghz machine for 6 minutes. If you queue up calcs... well.... how much memory you got? ;P

@Home: Got a water cooled i7 860 with 4GB RAM. A GTX460 arriving in a week or 2. Also looking at doing the bump to 16GB RAM seeing that 4GB RAM modules are coming down in price rapidly. @Work: Some PoS E5200 or something, and probably the slowest RAM in the world.

Not me. I'm using an 8-bit Rabbit 2000 at 22MHz, but I've got 512k of RAM AND 512k of EEPROM! ;P

Well, in my home machine I have a 3Ghz dual core processor overclocked to 3.6Ghz and 4GB of RAM. I had always intended to upgrade to a quad core but I've never had the need, depends on your usage I suppose.

It can cause problems if you push it too far or don't have sufficient cooling. I have the E8400 though which is usually quite good for overclocking and I actually ran it at 4Ghz for about a month without any issues. I put it back down to 3.6Ghz so that the timings would match 1:1 with the RAM and it's been like this for at least 18 months now, so I'd say that my processor is perfectly happy with it. Peoples results will vary though depending on the processor they are using and how cool they can keep it, each processor is also different so just because somebody else has an E8400 it doesn't necessarily mean that they could do the same overclock as me.
