Same here, we have DML labs (digital media labs) with some really nice equipment. And i think all of our computers are 2 gigahertz (they upgraded over the summer)

damit i hate you JK

my school is still runnin pentium pros in most of the labs maby a p2 or p3 here or there. non of them have burnere and they all have like 2 gig Hds. they are peaces of crap

we do have a lot of macs. but i hate them. all the comps in teh physics lab are now new Imacs with the superdrive. we have like 20 dual G4 powermacs in a lab in one building. and the rest are old G3s

man i wish my school would upgrade. we need so much. like a cople T3 lines instead of a bunch of T1s cause it always gets boged down. my cable line at home is faster then here and i have 4 comps on teh router all runnin kazaa at the same time and i still Dl at 500+k/s

they cap teh bandwith so i cant even play UT2003 wth you guies cause my ping is 999

/rant

o well

Glad my university finally upgraded from P-233 and 32mb of ram to Dell Dimesion 4000 series with 2.4ghz P4's and 512MB of ram ....

and yet, just for word processing and web usage.

We have some new dells in the engineering labs, I dunno what speed, but they seems quick enough.

They have redhat 7.3 with Gnome 1.4 and Sawfish WM on them...very nice. I dunno why people bitch about linux so much, its a great OS and the GUI and apps are very nice.

I'm gonna put Mandrake 9.0 on my home computer when it comes out (in a week or so).

one of the labs at my old school got upgraded with LCD's for the Sun Ultra 5's and 10's... btw, anybody know what happens in a UNIX lab when the sun comes up? I'm sure some of you have been in lab that late ;)
