Occasionally, I am asked the question of what my typical workflow is. While it has changed many times over the years, this is the latest iteration. Mind you, I use this setup for my photography and my "day" job as well.

It consists of the following:

   - 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
   - 2GB DDR2 SDRAM
   - 256MB ATI Radeon X1600
   - 2x250GB Accomdata External Firewire drives for cold backup and Media (RAW Photos and Music)

21" Samsung Syncmaster - 1600x1200

It gets the job done.
