I'm always interested by the specs of people's "fancy" computers, although much of it goes over my head. I'd love to have something really amazing as my work computer, but instead, I always buy a cheap crappy PC from eBuyer for about 200 quid, install the OS myself, and use that pretty much free of trouble for about three, four or even five years (I can't remember), and then buy another one, again for about 200 quid. And everything I do on it seems to run fine - Reaper, Reason, Photoshop, Lightroom, my CAT translation software (my actual paid work), everything. Often all at the same time.
So I then wonder if I'm missing out on something really whizzy, or being clever (in spending as little money as possible), or if it's probably somewhere in between.
I don't play video games though, so maybe that's where I'm not having a problem, if you see what I mean.
Edit: None of which was any help at all, sorry. I was just thinking out loud.
