What do you suggest?


spec a Dell/Alienware. Don't necessarily buy one, but spec one. Find your price-power range.

Off hand it looks like you can handle a decently high Core2 processor, with a reasonable hard-drive (7200RPM), and a reasonable graphics system.

It might be better just to ask about the parts you don't know, which I assume are things like Turion m44 vs Core vs. Core2 Duo vs. older gen Pentium-M and P4-HT desktop chips?

Core2 has a flexible processor cache that adapts to the incoming flow. Not sure how exactly it works, there are a few boring white-papers I almost read. But the point is... it works. Performance comparisons are showing with very few exception Core2 Duo chips are better than AMD X2 chips. And, of course, being the next gen processor, it was designed to beat the P-4 and P-M designs as well.

Core 2 is the fastest chip right now, not counting what may be released tomorrow (everyone is waiting -- but not holding their breath -- on the any-day-now release of the ?Core2quad? (Kentsfield) that Intel is trying to get out before the slated release of the AMD 4x4 in 1st quarter of next year.
