It's about to be prime buying time for PC hardware, and we havent had a workststion specs thread for awhile.
What specs would you think are reasonable for both a
1)bare minimum system for a newbie doing single coping type work and who wants to put every dime in thst it actually needs and not one cent more.
2)reasonble machine of heavy work doing full arch reconstructions or for someone with extra money to put into futureproofing( and tax avoidance).
No wrong answers, just fishing as I expect more than one of us has lost the pulse on PC hardware. Oh man, I used to know the northbridge and southbridge chips on all common mobos(wow the Via 686 SB was such a joke!) and .... uh. Nevermind.
I know there are great reasons to get the best you can find to future proof, but it is overkill for most use cases as many of us will rarely be opening and working in huge files.
I'm rambling again, goodnight.
