I am using a HP box with a dual core chip running 1.8 ghz and 64 bit.... 4 gig ram... an its fasy with win7 pro..... does all one may want and easy to use.... big fast fancy rigs are ok.. but need to take a long look at what do you want it all for...... programing makes for lots of the response in the machine.... so if its a decent speed can really afford better programing and have better results .... chuck...in Ok
