Subject: Help! I need some Specs

Author: D Ridge

Greetings
I'm a computer chess fanatic who has been forced to put up with the profound
indignation of using a 486 computer (gasp!) due to lack of capital.

However, I have decided to upgrade (at great personal risk and threat of
divorce).

I need some advise. I'm not a computer person by any stretch of the imagination
and the specs available are a little bewildering. Can someone suggest a system
configuration. The primary use will be chess analysis. I'll probably run CM6000
because I currently use CM5000 and love it and I like the user interface. I want
it to be very strong without breaking the bank.

Oh ya, one other thing, I get a deal on Compaq machines if that makes a
difference.
Please be specific about processor/speed/RAM/Hard Drive size/monitor size/etc

Thanks
Dave
