Hi, I'd like to get a new desktop computer system; I'm currently using a 1.8 GHz C2D with 2 GB of memory with debian squeeze. It doesn't seem up to the job any more; HD movies are choppy; iceweasel is sluggish. I use my computer system for typical desktop reasons: Gnome Internet browsing Evolution mail client amarok Watching movies Basic image processing with gimp. I'm thinking of getting something along the lines of: i7 3.4 GHz 4GB DDR3 2 TB HD Graphics card. I'll probably stick with debian but I might try out ubuntu and linux mint distros. Does this sound reasonable? Any suggestions or recommendations?
