Jan 2014

Mine is running two 2.13Ghz Core 2 Duo processors and two Nvidia 7900 GS graphics cards.
But your correct on the rest.
It is much faster (well to me) than the new computers that the university where I work have.

I've resisted getting a new one mainly because I have several legacy programs that I like to use and because I really like XP over all of it's successors (I can tolerate 7, but Vista and 8 stink).
