I'm curious to know what workstation hardware companies are devoting to you, as a developer -- and how much they're spending. I'd consider this thread a big success if I could shed some light on these questions:

  • Do engineers at big companies use substantially different hardware than engineers at start-ups companies?

  • Does a fresh developer recruit at Google get substantially different hardware from someone in the same position at Microsoft or Yahoo!?

  • Do programmers in more senior positions have more powerful hardware on their desks?

  • Does anyone think faster hardware makes more efficient engineers?
