Hello everyone. I have a question for you all. What would be the best resonably priced computer system to purchase for my graphics work? i will be getting some money in a few months and I am starting to do my homework. As a musician, I can easily put togather a system for audio work, but for graphics, I am not sure. I am currently running a p4 at 2.79 gig with 1.49 gig of ram. Try as I may, I can not find anything on the video graphics card that is in the machine. I think that it is just a generic one.
  At any rate I want to do more with my art. Right now I am doing mostly illustration useing Daz Studio,Bryce, Photoshop and Printshop. I have Carrara (sp) 5 pro and a few other graphic applications that I havnt really messed with to much. But I want to get into animation and get even better render results. 
    When I do anything really intense, my computer crashes.  I am useually in Bryce when it happens. I am guessing that the problem lies with the graphics cards. 
  So by resonable I am talking about $1000.or less. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
