which PC

hi,

I have a question which I hope someone can give me e good answer.
Recently, my computer died and the serviceman says the usual word: You
do not win by repairing this and it is better to get a new pc.
the only sertiouse requirement I have from a new pc is that it is good
for working with digital RAW files. The specifications suggests that
the new computer with 250 G HDD and 1024 ram and an Intel Core 2 duo
2.0 desktop seems to be good enough for me. My only question is about
the integrated garaphic card. the seller says it is very good and if
i want to get a seperated card it will cost me more than 150 US
dollar. shall I go for the integrated card or get a seperate one?
Shall I think about other specifications? The integrated card is
called: "onboard Intel GMa3000 256mb".

I hope I have given enough information.

best regards,

Mojtaba

1. Two hard drives (one specifically for Photoshop scratch drive...second
drive can be smaller).
2. As much RAM as it allows (minimum 2GB, better at 4GB).
3. Dual core helps a lot...especially for programs designed to take
advantage of it (photoshop).
4. If you can, get a machine with XP Pro instead of Vista. Vista is still a
royal waste of system resources/speed.
5. If you're using a flat panel, make sure it can accept a digital signal,
and get a card with DVI outs.
6. If you don't have one...spend another $130 on a Spyder2 colorometer.
