I am very grateful for all the help, everyone.
Do you think it would be possible to get a machine for under 500$? I'm pretty broke my options on gear is kinda limited. I was looking at this machine here (
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883227314).
It's pre-built, so I'd avoid lots of headaches, and it has recieved a lot of positive feedback. There is also a shitload of memory too, so I'd be able to get all kinds of stuff downloaded.
My concern is that the hardware would conflict with P99. I know in the past, the eq emulator is was playing (Shards of Dalaya) really bugged out because I was using a dual core processor. I don't know if P99 is the same, but I'd be bummed to get a system together and have the same issues arise.
Again, I really appreciate all the help. I'm not too adept with computers so all of this info is really good stuff.
