Keep in mind that today's $500 computer is probably better than a $3000 computer that is 4 years old. Just make sure you have a good video card, with more memory the better; I'm no expert, but I would avoid the ones that used shared main memory.andy02 said:My wife is the one that was talking about getting on before next winter! And we both use macs so yes I will be buying a 500$ computer to run it only. I will if I wait get two units but I want to know if a new software package is on the way as I have heard.
