Oh, forgot to mention the processors: two Opteron Quad Cores.
I use this machine to read e-mail, browse the web, etc.
I don't game on it, because I work with computers all day long. When I want to relax I don't want to be trouble shooting frame rate issues; I just want to game. I have a PS3 for that.
The biggest workout it gets is processing raw photos. I'll usually shoot a couple hundred when I have a session. Rendering them to TIFFs to send to the print service used to take about a minute each. Now, I'm down to 5 seconds. Also as I make adjustments to color, exposure, etc. the preview is nearly instantaneous; which is a big help. While I do back up my photos to an remote server, I also have a local copy of each. That's about 240 GB at this point. So 2 TB may be overkill, but one day I'll have that many.
I also used to do 3D rendering, and video compression. Not so much these days, but if the need arises I'm in a position where it won't be painful.
But mostly, I like playing with new technologies and having a hot rod of a computer.
