I do not think I will be using eclipse. Maybe bluefish at most, but probably just nano/vim/gedit/... and compile with g++ or javac or whatever command line compiler I need for the language I am using.<div>I wouldn't mind some extra horsepower, but the cost of a slightly better processor and an extra gig of ram is possibly too high.<br>

One question is what will you use to write programs? Eclipse is<br>
somewhat heavyweight, so you'd need more horsepower<br>
than if you use vi/vim/emacs<br>
