[QUOTE="Janus 006, post: 998024, member: 141343"] Get 4 GB ram at least. Your hard drive requirement will depend on what you use your computer for. But external drives are really cheap these days, so I would settle for 160 GB. Or, just get with the times, drop SAS, and use R (j/k, you probably have to use SAS for some course; but sometimes they'll let you get away with another stats program). Also, you should look into computer labs on campus. Oftentimes, you can use remote desktop to access a Windows machine in a lab and use SAS that way. Not as convenient, maybe, but a workaround if you want to save money. [/QUOTE]
