I upgrade my hardware once in a few years. For the last 3 years I've been using Core 2 Duo E7200 + 1GB RAM + 500 GB HDD. Before that I'd been working on Pentium 200 MMX + 64 MB RAM + 20 GB HDD for around 8 years. Before that I had Amiga 600 + 20 MB HDD. There's an adage saying: develop on old hardware and you'll get a free profiler. ;-)
