Right now I'm writing from school. I'm at an informatics class. They installed new computers! (yay, I guess)
Well, the old computers were running on windows xp and were about 6 years old. These new ones have windows vista installed on them(although we have computers with windows 7 in the library).
The old computers had 17' CRT monitors, these new ones have 19' TFT wide format monitors, but unfortunately the computing performance isn't a lot higher. The old ones had 256 mb of ram and a 1,6 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 processor.
These new ones have 2 ghz Intel Celeron processors with 2,5 GB of Ram(and integrated video card...).
The problem is they are a bit slow, but still, it's a lot better(my eyes don't hurt anymore), and the classroom has a more... modern feel :D.
I also installed code::blocks on my pc
:P.

a 1.6ghz Pentium 4 with about 1GB of RAM and a properly set up XP installation would in all likelihood outperform a 2ghz Celeron with 2.5gb RAM running Vista. Shame. Schools love wasting money, though.

I'm getting a PC upgrade at work very soon - quad core Xeon CPU, Quadro graphics card, 6GB RAM, and Win7 64bit. Big improvement over what I have now, which is a rustbucket. I think it's powered by a little mouse in a wheel.

Unfortunately nobody is going to put windows 7 on these ones(it needs to be financed by some sponsor...)

All our school computers still use XP. Come to think of it, I've never used a vista and have used a 7 twice.
