Funny you mention that after a long dry spell commission projects are taking off like crazy! I have a grand put aside when I have another 5 to 600 dollars set up I am also going to have a 32G desktop powerful monster built and will still keep my 8G notebook. Didin't folks mention that ATI cards work better with Lux please correct me if I am wrong... I need to know this as well for my future machine..
