I'm hoping that some of the experts out there can give me some advice about the following setup. I don't know very much about computers, so I've spent the last couple of months familiarizing myself with the terminology. I don't have a computer at all right now, so I need to buy all the necessary components (although I won't be assembling it myself). I'm not into gaming, but I am interested in using the computer to play/create music. Mostly it will be used for accessing the Internet and such. I know that I could easily spend a lot less, but I thought I would spend a little extra now (such as getting a 64-bit processor) so I won't need to upgrade for a while. I'm more interested in getting a decent system than in saving a few bucks here or there. Any suggestions would be appreciated..thanks..zane.
