As a full time computer tech and part-time embroiderer, I wouldn't worry about the processor speed on any new computer. They are fast enough now to handle any application that you are currently running. I would get at least 1gb of RAM (If you have the budget for 2gb, that would be even better) and at least a 128mb graphics card (A lot of new computers come with 256mb now which is fine for embroidery and Photoshop.) Older versions of DesignShop will not run on Windows Vista so you might want to look at Dell which still sells Windows XP machines. If you have any other questions, let me know.

I'll be using it for DS Pro +, graphics programs and that's about all. I'll run OS from another computer and the new one won't be online. What are the minimum requirements I should look for? Thanks!
