Advice on buying a new computer
Hi all,
I am busy planning to buy a new computer and I would like some advice. I will mainly use the computer for web design and working with graphics. I will either run Ubuntu Linux or Microsoft Windows (probably stick with xp for now.) I might even use both, and split the drives, as I mainly use open source software (especially gimp) and don't want to change, but work mostly with safari companies in Namibia who are all using windows.
I will run a small server program (xampplite) just for development purposes. Otherwise it is gimp, a small ide program (I mainly hand code everything) and as many browsers as I can, because I am passionate about cross browser compatibility when I design websites.
My questions:
What brand? I know that's a highly subjective thing, but I would love to know what you think. How much RAM. What else should I ask for.
Keep in mind that I live in Namibia.
