Digital BW, The Print

I recently built(about 4 months ago) an AMD 2800+ w/1G of 128bit memory, w/WIN XP.  I just installed CS and it would really be nice to have more memory and speed for all of the nice new 16bit operations.  If you are buying a new system, based on what I have seen of CS thus far, I would go for the highest performance, most memory the budget would allow.  
 
Having said this, however, I really only have the issues on very large files.  So, if one doesn't normally work with very large files, a newer mid-range XP based machine should work just fine.  (Realizing, of course, that 'just fine' is in the eye of the beholder.)

It is not just the version of Windows.  As I recall, CS also requires 
a chip running at a minimum of 800mh.  I am about to order a new 
computer also as my Pentium II is not going to do it.
