Hardware requirements

[fcapistrano]

I find that desktop 3.3 is too much for my older computer. I am thinking of moving up to desktop 2005, and want to know what I should be looking at for a new computer.

Thank you
Frank

Get the best of the best. You'll be hard pressed to buy 2005 now & should want to go with 2006 anyway.
