[QUOTE="MikeM, post: 1201929, member: 39238"] Just to throw in my 2 cents here. A core i3 processor is not a bad proc at all. My previous PC was a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo and I bought my wife a Dell Laptop with a 2.13GHz Core i3 proc and the benchmarks on it were substantially higher than my old Core 2 Duo desktop (It's since been upgraded to a 45 nm Core 2 Quad and now just barely beats out the i3) with the exception being the laptop has on board graphics and I had a decent mid range video card in my desktop. Considering the machine you are currently using, Even a brand new Celeron based PC would be an incredible performance upgrade. Really the question is whether or not you want a Mac or a PC. Either purchase will do the job you want. The question is how do you want to do it. -MikeM [/QUOTE]
