I was thinking to buy a new PC because I have no heart to torture my poor laptop anymore:) But I'm not sure especially what kind of things I should take on consideration when buying a new one... the main use will be making 3D art in Bryce and Studio Max. I would need some help like should I buy more memory or maybe a quad processor and things like that... Mu budget is around 1000 euros so below is maybe the best I can get but do you guys see that something isn't enough or wrong? I want it to be like the ultimate render machine one could buy with 1000 euros and hopefully long lasting one:) Thanks for any opinions! -Antti- Motherboard -P5K SE, S775 IP35 DDR2 SATA2 GBLAN HD 8CH 115.00€ Memory -2GB Dual Kit DDR2-800 F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ 5-5-5-15 79.00€ OS -WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC 64-BIT, FI, OEM 92.00€ Display -LG 22'' L222WS-SN 1000:1 5MS TCO03 260.00€ Processor -Core Duo 2 E4500 2.2GHz, 2MB, FSB800 Boxed 135.40€ Graphics card -GeForce 8600GT PCIE 512MB HDCP HEATPIPE 136.00€ Hard disk -320GB Spinpoint T166, 3.5", SATA II/300, 16MB, 7200RPM 81.00€
