Here's the thing about the auction site I mentioned. They have brand new items but the thing of it is the auctions last about 60 days.. who's got that kinda time to wait. So I may just save up and get a Dell or something like that. BTW, what do you guys suggest looking into in the $300 - $700 range? And what are the most important things to consider in having "Maya Computer"? I've heard, regardless of the processor speed, lots of RAM and a good video card... the best one I can afford. Any other features? Does Maya 5 require anything else special?I hear AMD is about to unleash their 64 bit processor... any idea what their cost will be? I won't have enough saved up anytime soon anyway but I was hoping to get your input on all this sh... stuff. Thanks y'all!
