Post subject:  Compsci computer poll

Inspired by a previous thread I am too lazy to link to, I'm curious as to what resolutions people run at, as well as how many monitors they use and what kind they are. I think I'll also throw in some other computer options like age, storage space, speed... curiosity was always my downfall Razz

/me notes that you can't have multiple poll questions; doesn't that suck! I guess I'll just leave it up to people to fill the form out themselves Razz

Two, both LCD.
How big are they?
20' wide screen and 19' normal
What resolutions do you run?
1400x1050 and 1280x1024. Both run a unified desktop

4, only three of which get any use. Server, Workstation/storage server, and a laptop.
How old is/are your computer(s)?
Server: 7, workstation: 5, laptop: I've had it for one, but it's 3 or 4 years old.

Server: 40gB total, maybe 10gB used
Workstation: 120gB for the system and programs, of which 58gB is dedicated to this install, 3.5gB used. 1.4TB for /home, of which 973gB is used.

How much memory do(es) your computer(s) have?
Server: 512mB
