Re: Suggestions for new computer!
As brian said, just about any of the current video cards will suffice provided they go up to the res you want.
Make sure the cpu has cache, not a celeron/opteron etc <----- very important for the math intensive work of image manipulation.
Go for the fastest data throughput mother board as you can, it used to be just FSB but its all of it nowadays.
3 gigs (XP 32bit limit) of the fastest ram available.
SATA2 for the hdd's.
And last but not least the dreaded raid, raid0 for speed and raid1 for security and I think its raid4 using four (or 6, 8 etc) hdd's in a raid0 + raid1 (or 1+0) configuration.
I am not recommending raid just because it sounds good, I run with raid0 only and XP is a completely different animal, but please if you do use raid make sure you use raid1 for data security.
Cheers David
