Yet another Poll (PC users) What is your system (P2,P3,P4) and CPU speed?
I expect lots of bragging here 
but am really interested in those of you who haven't jumped to the P4 yet... what are you running in your P3, etc. (await delivery of my P3-933Mhz processor to almost max out my MB)

Yes...the first one is my wife's desktop, the second is my laptop, the third is our server....
...and the last is my kid's gaming computer. All tied together via CAT-5 & a 16 port hub. I'm not bragging, just telling it the way it is.

I've got a few...
Athlon 1200 with an Asus board for my main system.
P2-300 with a Tyan dual board (only one CPU though) for my girlfriend to use at my apartment.
P-166 with an Asus board for my home web/NAT/database server.
Athlon 1400 with an MSI board for my girlfriend to use at her apartment.
I didn't bother with the P4 because it was far more expensive than an Athlon at the same speed. It's the first time I have strayed from Intel, but I'm pretty happy with the 2 Athlon systems. The only thing that worries me about them is the fact that if the fan fails on either of them, the CPU will be destroyed immediately...Unlike my P2-300 where I can run without the fan for a while and only get occasional lockups.
If you're wanting to max out your motherboard, make sure you have a video card that is able to keep up with everything else, especially if you play games. You can definitely tell the difference between my girlfriend's 1400 with a crappy video card and my 1200 with a GeForce2 GTS.
