  I realised recently that my desktop's ancient now - 5 years, I think, though I've been upgrading it as I go along. It was very top of the range when I bought it, so for the most part, it still does what I ask of it, though I am beginning to hit longer waits in Illustrator.

  I've been holding off upgrading 'til Intel release a single chip 8 core, as I reckon that'll be the sweetspot to last me the longest (my reasoning being that when They figure out how to properly utilise multi-core chips, 2 and 4 cores will look sadly redundant).
