    Presumably AE doesn't use the GPU, rather CPU, Memory and HD capacity.

    So, build your own to a spec that fits your price and get only what you want. When I say 'build your own' I'm including getting your local shop to do it for you.

    If AE is indeed RAM hungry, consider Windows 7 64-bit and 6+gb RAM.

    imo.. NEVER buy Dell. Aside from monitors, or computers for noobs or parents, they're pretty shitty. Crap motherboards, slow memory and last generation components. And they seem to fuck up all the time, if my friends' experiences are anything to go by.

    • AE does use the GPU, get a kick ass 3D card with a LOT of memory on it.zarkonite
