It's hard to make precise recommendations without a ballpark budget, but AFAICS go for the fastest processor, the most RAM and the fastest hard drives you can afford. Fast hard drives or RAID will save you a lot of sitting around waiting for 50+MB files to load and save. Lots of RAM helps with editing as does the CPU speed. Win2K should give you a more stable platform with better memory management than Win9x or ME. Make sure all the hardware you propose to use has drivers for the OS though. Rob
