Default What's The Specs On Your Recording Computer?

I assume that just about everyone on here is using a computer for their recording (and probably mixing too). What are the specs on your recording computer?

I'll go first.

Athlon 64 2800
Soltek motherboard
1 Gig of RAM ( I can't even remember what speed)
2 200 GB Maxtor 7200 rpm drives for audio
1 120 GB Maxtor 7200 rpm drive for Windows
Matrox G450 video card
Toshiba DVD burner (which has been the most reliable burner I've ever hard)

Core 2 Quad Q9450 - 2.66GHz
4GB DDR2 1066
300GB Sata II drive (Windows and Programs)
640GB Sata II Drive (music, files and misc. stuff)
EVGA 750i FTW Motherboard
Texas Instruments Firewire (On Board)
Windows Vista 64bit
Cubase 5
Steinberg MR816CSX


The Steinberg interface is excellent. Everything from the preamp to the on board DSP reverb. Finally a hardware interface that integrates seamlessly into it's software counterpart!!
