You should have at least 1 Gb of hi-speed RAM; the latest graphics interface is the PCIe X16 (AGP is dead); a 3.0 GHz cpu is a good place to start; have at least a 250Gb hard drive; look into a machine with an interface to plug digital memory cards into it, have a DVD writer and a CD player in your new machine, have at least four PCI slots for expansion cards. You can buy a complete machine in a box at Best Buy or CompUSA or have one built at a reseller. The reseller will build you exactly what you want from Square One. The one you buy at Best Buy will have to have some things added to amp it up into a good machine, which drives up the cost. Whatever you choose to do, take your time in the purchase. You will be happy you did a year from now.

If I were you, I'd go with a Pentium 4 at about 2.0 GHz or anything more advanced than an AMD 3000 or so. No less than 512 MB RAM, preferably with 1 GB RAM. Get an Nvidea graphics card, if you can. ATI's are nice too, as long as you don't need the computer for Linux. I can't give you a specific recommendation for your graphics card because I don't play video games much. As for the hard drive, anything over 40 GB should be plenty unless you download tons of pictures, movies, games, etc. Good luck!

The answer depends on the type of computing you do:
With Windows Vista coming out in the Future, I would Sugest:
Dual Core Processor (1.6ghz each)
1GB of RAM
120GB HD - this varies based on how much media you handle
128MB Graphics Card - For basic graphics
These are minimums, you can always go higher and therefore keep your computer from being atiquated longer. Also- If your getting a laptop, get the largest graphics card possible- you can hange them.

It would all depend on what you would want to use the computer for.
I would say a bare bone system would include at least 512 meg ram.
60 gb hard drive
a resonbly god quality graphics card
cd drive and prob be a pentium 4 with xp as a min.
I guess it all depends on you
