I'm sitting here typing this on a single-core 1.6GHz Pentium IV with a gig and a half of RAM and a 12" screen running Ubuntu. This fall I'm thinking of upgrading to an 11.6" screen, 2GHz Atom and two whole gigs of RAM. My "server" is an eMachines desktop that was $300 at Wal-mart 3 years ago, with a bunch of usb drives hanging off of it. Believe me, I know all about "good enough". On the other hand, I'm also guessing the pro-audio interface I have in the other room for recording my instruments for my own songs is a little pricier and better-sounding than what most people have. I don't *need* to write songs or record instruments in a way that you can actually hear them. But for me, it would suck not to.
