beiker Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 "8GB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM memory (4 x 2GB for ultimate performance)(expandable to 16GB)" That's good but you also need to buy a dedicated video card about 1024MB for you to have a serious smooth task in the future. For some people, the bigger the better. Just like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
