Did you receive my E-mail I replied to you on last Wednesday?
No... I will have to check my spam box. I have strict rules setup and I am sure it is in the spam box.
Could you give me some instructions about my PC shopping as below:
1) You told me that:"If you get a PC-based quad-core make sure you get it with 64bit Vista Ultimate or lower... Do not get the home edition of Vista as it is missing some of the better library files. Note if you get 64bit some of your older programs will not load or work correctly."
Could you let me know which of the better library files will be missed if I get a new PC-based quad-core in detail? Also, if 64bit doesn't support the V4
of EL, which bit should do? If I order a new PC with two-core instead of quad-core, is everything OK?
Two cores are better... But from your questions I think it might be best for you to select a ready made machine where all you will have to do is turn it on and play.
2) I'm still not clear that:"You will have to play with them to find a good number for your machine." What's the good number and how can I find it for my new PC?
Again, I am talking about RAM here but I strongly suggest that you get a PC that is ready made. Meaning all the configurations are done for you.
3) Could you recommend a new PC which not only is good for V4 of EL now but for V5 in the future? I could recommend all day but your budget will be the one to dictate what strength of PC you will be getting.
Try www.newegg.com and look at some configurations based on your budget and post what you come up with and I will help you with your selection.

Lottoboy,
Start here by clicking on the following link -->
newegg.com. When you get to that website look on the left and click on the price range that fits your budget. All of those machine are ready made and operate without additional configurations. These configurations are done by the manufacturer.
As you make several selections please post links to the individual machine pages so I can look at them.
Thanks,
CSenior
