This weekend, I decided to “evaluate” all my PC’s on my home network. My main Desktop PC wasn’t performing like I wanted it to and was running a combination of new and old hardware. I had a Test / Work PC running a combination of new and old hardware as well. My Test / Work PC was also running x64 which was something I wanted to move to on my main Desktop PC for quite some time now (I like being on the “bleeding edge”). So I decided to take the best parts of my main Desktop PC and my Test / Work PC and combine them together to create the “Ultimate” Desktop PC for myself. I was pretty satisfied with the results.

Here are the specs of what I ended up with:

• Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600
• Motherboard - ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe
• Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS
• Memory - 4GB
• Keyboard / Mouse - Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000
• Monitor - Dual 24-inch Dell UltraSharp 2407 Flat Panel Displays
• Storage: 160GB Maxtor Harddrive, 160GB Western Digital Harddrive, 320 Western Digital Harddrive

I am also now officially running Windows Vista Ultimate x64
