I've got an opportunity to spec out my 'dream machine' for a computer. We are an HP and Dell shop and are using Windows 7 Pro with LAN/WAN connections. I will be doing my development on my specific machine but also using it for all other office work (Outlook, Excel, Word, Network applications etc..). With that in mind - what would be a good set of specs for a computer.
You can also drop me an email at paul.foreman@iowa.gov if you have questions/ideas for me. Thanks!
As much memory as possible. it is single threaded so processor is not an issue, perhaps add an SSD, Presenter isn't really that much of a resource hog so should work fine on most mid spec machines.
Thanks! I figure I will max out the memory but I am also using CodeBaby to generate avatars in my modules. That is helped by a high end video card (and lots of memory too.) I'm thinking an SSD would be a good idea as well. I've got a couple of 3TB drives now and that seems to be enough for storage. I am working on a 500GB "C" drive so physical storage should be covered. Any other ideas will be very welcome!

Attached is a PDF of the specifications on an HP computer that may have what I am looking for.
