Here Chaotic,

I built this AMD dual core about a year ago. I'm not running PT on it - I use it as my onliner. But as your can see, it's obsolete and was really cheap -$411 without XP - and probably cheaper now. I do graphics on it and it screams. I copied my New Egg invoice for you. Order Total $411.51. Plus, I got $50 off on maill in rebates.

I built a core 2 duo two years ago and it ran me about $1400 all told with a quiet case and a couple extra fans. Actually this AMD is much quieter, so go figure.


So you know, It would be wise to be sure that compatibility is not an issue. I don't think there is a problem with anything on this list though for running PT. Maybe some minor adjusments.


Good Luck.

Dave
