I am in the market for a new computer that will work well with Chief Architect.

Take a look at my "signature line" in my posts. My PC is "no big deal", I built it myself but it is above average and suits me well. My Ray Traces usually run about seven minutes each.

With computers more IS more in terms of money and performance. I personally would never use "minimum requirements" for anything other than what to stay as far away from as I can afford (minimum requirements = minimum performance).

My successful actions are two fold, self education and making sure I understand the nomenclature that communicates about PC hardware and secondly, I make sure I have one or two (minimum) geeky friends who know all about PC's and PC hardware for help and opinions where self study fails me.
