Whats Your System Specs?

Many people believe that you need Pixar like computer systems to create 3d animations and process heavy graphics programs. For creating Shrek a movies in full screen Blue Ray quality, that would be true, but for us we're making a Youtube movie, so many of those high tech system upgrades aren't necessary. I recently purchased a new computer from Dell and I can render without much quality (but trust me the next one I'm going to build myself). However the computer I worked on and still do from time to time was 8 years old and half way decent at doing what I needed to get done. So here are the specs for both:

New System:

Brand: Dell E510 (boooo)
Processor: Pentium D 3.0ghz
Harddrive: 160 gb
Memory: 1 GB
Vid Card: ATI 1200Gt
Max Memory Draining Programs I Can Run at One time: 4 (Photoshop, Firefox, 3d Max, Media Center)

Old System:
Brand: Its so old I can't even remember
Process: Pentium 3, I bought it one month before Pentium four came out and to this day I'm still upset
Harddrive(s): 30 gb, 80 gb, 120 gb
Memory: 512mb
Vid Card: Went from RIVA TNT to RIVA TNT2 to GeForce2 to GeForce3
Max Memory Draining Programs I Can Run at One time: 2 (Any graphics program with Internet Explorer)

What are your system specs? Is your computer Overclocked? What are the maximum memory draining programs that you can run at one time?
