I primarily do development of various types, so beefy (to a sane
upper-limit) is good.  My desktop, OTOH, can compile the entire linux
kernel version 3.0.0 (make allmodconfig) in just over 13 minutes.
That's what I do the majority of my heavy lifting with.  I cannot
_stand_ to wait for compilation to take place.
