You'd do best to get a higher system. I'm not partial to the celery sticks they use for a processors... get either AMD or P4. Video card sucks baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Minimum for graphics is a 32mb card so its NOT drawing from system memory. OS, get Win2k Pro, I have it and love it. and it handles most games. Not to mention you could do better on the HD.. Get at least a 60gb on that bad boy so you know you have the room for games and for those horrendous sized renders. That's all I got to say!
