[amayausers] Re: Computer requirements

Darlene,
It really depends on what software you plan on putting on the machine. Most 
computers new from the store (or from Dell.com) come with a minimum Pentium 
2.8ghz processor and 512mb of RAM and a 80GB hard drive. That will be good 
enough for DesignShop and the Amaya OS. If you plan on doing jacketback 
digitizing, add more RAM. Add Corel or Adobe, add more RAM. Add Quickbooks, 
add more RAM. Etc. The more software you add and use, the more memory and 
hard drive space your computer will use up. Most people keep computers about 
5-7 years average in a business environment but people tend to not buy 
enough hard drive space and memory when they buy them. It is much easier to 
plan for what you might use the computer for in the future and buy the right 
computer from the start.
If it helps, I have been looking for a new computer for myself and I run 
DesignShop, Adobe, and Quickbooks only. I plan on only using it for the 
business. (I have another computer for my personal stuff.) I'm looking at a 
Dell with a Pentium 3.0ghz with 1.5GB of RAM, 160mb hard drive, 256mb video 
card, DVD-Recordable for backing up my files and a couple other options. The 
price was around $1100 when I checked last month but that also included a 
19" LCD monitor with Windows XP Pro. You may not need all the options I 
chose such as the monitor and could probably get away with using a 128mb 
video card but if you use graphics software a lot, I would spend the extra 
money on the 256mb card.
