LOL @ Analog-x64

I still have a working Amiga 3000     oops guru00001000101000

I value your opinion because of answers I have seen you provide in the past.  You know what I want.  I want a dedicated graphics machine that will render Bryce scenes in something less than eternity.  I want stable.  I want best bang for bucks in a single machine. Games, internet, word processing, etc... will be on this old Sony Vaio. 

If I opt for PC it will be XP Pro 64 os on a Core 2 Quad machine or equivalent.
