Oh, less than $500, cheaper is better as i have a couple cameras to pay off and an NYC trip coming up and i don't like to spend money unless i have to.
for instance, i think i'd be happy with a PIV 2.4 800 fsb with 512 megs, at least 4 usb ports (for cameras, scanners, printers, and memory readers) more would be better in that regard, 80 GB or more, possibly 2 HDD, one 10,000 rpm, the other standard and keep the OS and current files on the fast one while keeping backups/not so current/etc on the 2nd, a cd burner minimum for turning in work, and..ummmm..not sure what else i would need.
So i would like something like that or comparable for the least amount possible. The main thing i have probs with is the mobo/processor combination and what features i need and things i am overlooking and other possibilities, i love options and the AMD line has remained a mystery to me
