smokin5s Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 honestly dude, go get a AMD 64X2 processor... they are pretty peppy... There's a company out of Cleveland that sells them for 250'ish and that's with a 250 gig drive, 2 gigs of ram and a nice PCI-E video card.... can't really go wrong with that... you'll just need to get some tuner cards and be good to go.

87GT Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 You need a core duo intel processor. Everything else is kind of up to you on what you want. I can help you figure out/buy/build a machine with you if you want. Tell me your top dollar limit you want to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
