b18 said:The question is .. what's your budget ?
A PC can range from a $1000 to $10k easily. So it depends on your budget.
For start .. a 30" ACD is a good screen to have and 2 GB RAM is bare minimum
I'm using 2GB, so far so good for my editing.espn said:If you just want to view, 1GB RAM is enough, if you intend to do heavy NEF editing, 2GB or more is recommended, I'm using 1GB now, going to upz to 3GB soon.
As for LCDs, go for the 24 bit colours one, there's a new Samsung model with 1000:1 contrast and 24bit (16.7m) colours, but price wise, think will be near the K.
I'm using the older Samsung 910T, also 1000:1 contrast and 24 bit colour. Lurve it.
30" ACD would be a dream :lovegrin:

b18 said:as ESPN typed, 1 GB is enough for viewing . But for editing NEF , you need more than that.
Was editing a friend D70 images on my P4 2.66 + 1GB RAM + Dual HDD setup and I feel they are heavier to process compared to my D1H / S2 Pro RAW [maybe its compressed ? ]
If you are going for image editing, make sure you have big RAM and fast dual disk. One drive to store your application and the other ones from your scratch disk [term from Adobe PS]
1000:1 ratio is very nice to use.
We are one of Viewsonic dealer in Sydney, I found the VG and VP range are good for images.
I was using VG700 and now I changed to VX912 and feel the colour is more off
If I could just pinch one of the VP930b that are lying around in my office ...... :lovegrin:
