Talking about my new Dell 530 and a email from Mark From CA

Ben

New listener here, I don't remember how I got turned onto your show. Maybe
it was Podnutz. Have you talked about the details of your new computer yet?
I heard you mention that you were getting one, but what are the details.
Maybe you could make a topic.

What you selected, Intel vs. AMD, Dual, Quad or i7 (drool) Why you picked what you did.
RAM, 4,6,8 or more
Video card 512, 1G 1.5G
SSD or Velociraptor

Prebuilt vs. building your own

I've been wanting to build another machine my last build which seems like decade ago.
AMD 3200+ single core 32bit though I jsut added ram to get me by, Now running 2GB

I'm leaning towards a Intel, either Quad core Q9500 or i7 920 w/8GB RAM & PCIE 16
512MB Video card. If I go with the latter I have the expense of DDR3 vs.DDR2. I'll just
stuff it in my old case utilizing my Dual WD 640GB SATA's, DVDRW's Thermaltake PS.

I'm building it for Photoshop, Lightroom not a gamer.
