I hope it's OK to post this here.
I'm in the market for a new computer. I'd like to get one that will handle Civ IV reasonably well, Poser 7, Bryce 5.5 and of course Civ III. It's been a long time since I have been computer shopping and I'm just about lost in all this talk of dual and quad processors. What is good, what is bad? What I want is a machine that will handle graphics better than an old Pentium IV 2.6 ghz single processor which I now have. The machine I have now runs the programs above but it takes its good old time sometimes.
I prefer not to spend over $700-800.
Can anyone recommend some good machines, processors, etc considering my budget and my needs?
Many thanks
