Can you please do me a spec for a Core duo 2 machine.

My budget is 550 (ill go above if you really think it could make a difference)

I use internet, office, photoshop. 3D RENDERING (IMPORTANT). A few games. And i encode a lot of videos.
I like to have lots open at a time, so it needs to be a good multi tasker,

and its needs to be pretty upgradable.

Thanks. (btw just the system, no monitor etc :D)

EDIT : Oh, i forgot to say a couple of things, i will definitely be overclocking, and i need a case and psu in that price :P, thanks again.

lol.

Thanks for your help guys. I think ill get that spec, and i might pay the extra for the X1800XT.

I think ill buy that lot, and then ill ugrade a bit more when i have the money. Maybe get a raptor? would it make much of a difference?

Oh, and i got a question about RAM mhz, what is the highest you can get at the moment? and will having only 800mhz max on my motheroard hold me back when i want to upgrade?

Oh and i dont have a clue about ram timings either, so can you explain that aswell lol.

Thanks :P
