good printer...and fast comp...the quality of the photo depend very much on the printer and transfer speed(from comp to printer) and not forgeting the paper
lots of ram, good graphic etc is mean or faser loading on the comp, was it worth doing self print? i find that going thru the lab for print so much easy and faster hehe

get a big, sharp, low radiation monitor. Either Sony or NEC...they are low in radiation. 17inch at least. 19 or 20inch if possible. I will get a CRT, as LCD too expensive.
CDRW, get a burn proof one. Asus latest CDRW claims to be "no more bad disc".
RAM, I would get 512MB at least if possible. Note that Win98 will not utilize this much RAM, you need Win2000 or XP.
Processor...I won't get the fastest available...a P1.7GHz is good enough for me
Hardisk...80GB, partition into 4 (30, 20, 15, 15)
Display card, not very sure about this one...can check with other's recommendatin. GeForce 4 64MB any good (quite famous)?
Mouse. Optical mouse of course.
Motherboard. Again, not sure...but a good motherboard will give you stable performance and reliability. Asus or Intel original mainboard? Make sure you get the one with firewire port, 4x AGP, enough USB port, number of slot for rams...etc.
This is what I can think of now...or the computer that I am going to build...

Under such conditions, 512Mb of fast RAM will result in photoprocessing just that little bit faster compared to 1Gb of slower RAM. Of course, 1Gb of fast RAM is even better.
Furthermore, RAM prices drop, and when the time comes, you can upgrade 512Mb of fast RAM with an additional 512Mb of the same type. Whereas for 'slow' RAM (say DDR-266) when you add DDR-400 (in the future) to it, you're still stuck at DDR-266 speeds....
