Just a thought here... when I got a new IBM PC, mainly to have RN capabilities, what I got was a lot more. I had worked with off-brands in the past, but this one is the real thing and works far better than the off-brand computers. One thing that may have helped is getting the duo core processor and extra memory. It keeps everything perky and fast enough, especially when programming and keeping several resources active at the same time.
So I'd recommend the newest IBM pc you can find with the latest install of XP.

Is there a link for the PC Gamer info? Good choice on getting the fast notebook with XP. Vista is too new and has all those bugs which users are just beginning to document, plus it doesn't work yet with the Robonova software. Maybe someone will come out with a fix.
