CPU: i965 Extreme Processer
RAM:8 or 16GB RAM @ DDR3 1333Mhz (even if u get 32GB RAM, i don't think you will be able to Benefit THAT MUCH from it)
GPU: Now the 4870X2 is strong.. but if you something Top Notch i'd suggest you wait till the Nvidia GTX 295 Card is released.. now imagine if one of that can beat the 4870X2, imagine what 4 GTX295 Cards in Quad-Sli Mode can do (that is if money is not a Problem)

Hard Drive:
don't know what Raid in HDs is.. but whatever is better i guess :P

that's all i can say for now..

HD RAID is a setup of many HDs running as one, for extra speed and/or extra redundancy. there are many way u can set up RAIDs.

isn't 2200$ a LOT for a pc with these low specs ?

or are u talking about a laptop? perhaps a laptop is even too expensive with these specs and such a price tag.

applications can't use all the 4gb if u have them. vista 32bit has the same global limit of 4gb, but i don't know if it splits it 3gb/1gb too.

with 64 bit windows xp/vista, the 4gb global limit doesn't exist altogether.

so if I get a 64 bit os then I can shove as much ram as I want?

Better have it online from a trusted source.

In Lebanon,i rarely saw any brand selling the latest product...at least before it becomes outdated elsewhere.

I just made an online order for an Asus eeepc S101 netbook...Because in Lebanon,they're just still at discovering the eeepc 701 and 900 series...

hehe...The best laugh i get is when i wander around,asking salesmen about specs and features...Seing their faces filled with honest exclamation marks and admiration while presenting to me some dull outdated stuff....then not realizing before few minutes that they were being given a lecture about the stuff they are handling...And asking me questions about them!
