im getting a 3.4 Ghz dual core processor with 2Gb RAM and plenty HDD (800Gb) and 256Mb RAM Graphics card - but this is cos im on a tight budget (R8000) but if u can - go for a dual core, dual processor macine with bout 2-4Gb RAM and a 512Mb RAM Graphics Card.

And if you just happen to have in excess of $50,000 lying around - theres always an Apexx 8 (http://www.boxxtech.com/products/apexx8_specs.asp) from BOXX Technologies ;)
