Congrats! My old PC died and I just ordered an AMD X2 6400+ with 4 gigs of RAM, a 340 gig hard drive ( i have several externals with my Poser runtimes on them so I did not care about the C drive all that much). DVD write etc and a good Radeon graphics card for $849.00 total with shipping. The dual cores are cheap now because the quads are out, and even though the 6400+ is rated at 3 GHz, it runs three times as fast in all apps as my old 3.4 GHz Intel P4 single core, according to comparison benchmarks. No way could I afford over $1,000 at this time. Looking forward to my new PC so I can get back to my Poser. GOt Xp on it. No way am I messing with Vista at this time.
