Hi

Just need a good spec for my system. This time I want to try AMD 64 X2 4200 or up CPU

I don't use it for games. I mainly use it for graphic, website, layout and movie editing or rendering.

Often, I open photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, firework and flash at the same time.

I don't use 2 monitors. I know AMD always has heat, crash and noise problem. However, I am willing to try it again.

I need fast hard drive 7200 rpm or up and good video card.


Please suggest me your best specificatoins. I need this system this coming week.

Thank you very much.

AMD actually runs cooler than Intel. Either an AMD X2 or Intel D procossor should fit the bill for your new box. 2GB of RAM, PCI-E video card What is your budget for this build???

$1569 is within my budget. Should I use 64bit windows? RichPlS - are you currently owning the system like this? I don't want to be an experiment.

Any other choice?
