intel processor dual or quad of your choice 4 gigs+ of memory a ati 4850 or better and a decent mobo and powersupply and your good to go. Give what you want to spend on the new computer and ill be more specific.

He complained because Nvidia (probably the card he had) can't make drivers for 64bit. They just don't know how to do it.

Yeah if the board has pci-e he might be able to just up the psu (if it's too small) and add a bunch of ram (if the board supports it).

Core2 dual or quad. AMD is out of the competition until they leapfrog Intel with their next generation offering - which is what they've been doing for the last decade if anyone's paid attention.

I argue that the slightly higher clock speed per dollar and larger L2 cache (per dollar) of the dual core processors is what you want. All the multi-processor targeted games that will come out 2+ years from now will be built for the top end gaming rigs out then, and you won't be it with old gear.

Never been a fan of AMD. I have seen a few pop pretty easy, and the Intel P4's and up are like tanks in that respect.

I've always felt that its like a ford and chevy debate, really depends on what you like

The p4 was one of the worst chips ever amd ---- all over the p4's. As of now i wouldn't touch a amd processor just like I wouldnt touch a nvidia card pure garbage right now. But like joey said give it awhile that will change it always does
