      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.

        @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.

                              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.
