I'm upgrading to a new PC in a month or so. I'll be developing games in Blitz, C++ and building websites as the main activities. That and the odd high-end 3D game.
I'm thinking of this build so far:
Intel Q6600 Quad core CPU
4 GB RAM
2x1TB Sata-2 Drives running in RAID-0
ATI 4850 512mb PCI-E Card
I know I'll only get 3.5GB RAM if I stick to 32bit Windows XP, but I want as much compatibility as possible and a very responsive system with a low boot time. I'll also have a 1TB external NAS backup drive.
Would Vista 64bit run everything I want (including new games).
