I started out a few years ago on an old version of the 32-bit appliance, which I'm not sure is still around or in active development. The hardware world moved ahead to 64-bit and so did RD, which isn't a bad idea; trying to do modern things on 10-year-old hardware will just lead to problems.

I've bought a lot of 64 bit dual core Dell desktops for under $200. They are some of the acoustically quiet machines I've ever come across and they are a quality product. They're corporate pull outs and have always been in very good shape. SATA controllers with CD/DVD drives. They seem to come
