My computer's too slow

[Poll #1461959]

You can't buy a computer nowadays that's too slow to run Word Processors/Spreadsheets/Web browsers on.

So what would you be able to do on your computer if it was faster that you can't now?

i just finished upgrading my desktop yesterday, so i've yet to discover what it can't do.

so far, on some benchmarks it is 8x the speed of my old setup (athlon 64 3000 -> core i5 750), it doesn't stutter when playing high res bbc iplayer, and copying files across the gigabit network is twice the speed it used to be. which is nice.
