>My projects are huge and I am wondering if a faster machine would give me faster builds. I am currently running on a Dell Pentium 4 3.4GHz with 1G memory using XP. Do you think there is something out there that would be significantly faster?

VFP is VERY sensitive to large include file trees brought read into class libraries or forms. Make certain any aggregation of .H files used will easily fit in the 2nd-level cache of the CPU with room to spare.

Pruning an .H tree used in a large application I was brought in reduced compile times by more than 60%, but that was 4 years ago and the figures would be different on today's machines.
