    Hardware Recommendations for new machine

    What I have now is an Athlon 64 at 1.8 GHz, 1.5 Gig RAM. There are some components that are flaking out so it seems like a good time to just get something new and up-to-date. I don't think I want to go over $1000. Might be nice to get one of the larger monitors with 1920x1080. If I'm looking...
