Re: ptracker computer
2 Gigs is more then enough for even the most demanding applications......anything more and youre basically just wasting money. I do moderate gaming on my current machine and I have 2Gigs in it right now......the second Gig made a very slight performance increase in some games I play, but not much.
If youre really worried about speed then just use the extra money you were planing on spedning on that extra 2 Gigs of memory and buy a faster processor (ie a high end dual core CPU like you mentioned). The extra money you invest in a CPU will yield much better performance gains then an extra 2 gigs of meory.
As far as HD space goes...I assumed that you were going to be doing massive amounts of datamining like some folks do...Im not sure exactly how much drive space somthing like that requires as I only have a very small PT database myself...I just assumed that if this is all your computer will be used for that the extra space would come in handy.
GL and happy building.
