Now that I've joined a new company I've got a shiny new i7 laptop with 8Gb of RAM which will do nicely for me. It's even a tad better than my laptop at home. Very happy with it at the moment. VS2010 with loads of extensions and ReSharper works just fine.
Previously I've worked at a multinational global IT services provider, a fortune 500 company who saw fit to equip me with a Core Duo with 2Gb of memory with a tendency to overheat for no apparent reason and send me off to do SharePoint 2010 development with that steaming heap of crap.
A word of warning to anyone doing SP2010 work on a virtual machine - you'll need to provision at least 4Gb memory to the VM or you'll be waiting 5 minutes for a context menu to appear, something that didn't overtly concern the management too much despite most of my working day consisting of letting go of the mouse and waiting..

Just not very fast
Unless you're talking about my computer at home which is an overpowered gaming beast!... Two years ago 
It runs Visual Studio like a charm, but I can't play all the newest games on ultra high settings anymore...
It's an OO world.
public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

Until recently, when it died, I ran a dual-processor Xeon 2GB HP box, now I run a 4GB Dual core.
I try to run a development machine that is a bit lower spec than the client will run the app on deliberately, so that I know if it is fast enough on my PC, it will be easily fast enough on theirs.
And that is what is important - that the customer is happy, not me!
And then they pay me. And I'm happy!

If you are using Eclipse then anything less than a super computer is not good...
If you are using Visual Studio 2010 then a mainframe is the minimum...
I just wish the platform companies would profile and optimize their products for us mere mortals!

Did the Celerons get reclassified as mainframes now? My home PC is a dual core Celeron and I do a significant bit of Visual Studio development work on it and it isn't too slow. I want it faster but won't be hitting it with a hammer yet.
My work PC is a Quad Core i5 though with 4GB RAM laptop. Which is more than adequate, thank you!

...and Google update. I have tried to remove this junk recently from my laptop. It was setup as:
1. a scheduled task
2. a service
3. an autostart tray app
4. a stand-alone application which also needed to be uninstalled
5. add-in to a browser
and maybe more, but I didn't find more places.
